Style Request: St Andrews University Style Sheet

knewmans

Hi
My daughter is at University of St Andrews and has to submit work conforming to a style sheet. I found Zotero really helpful with my postgrad work and, as she is dylexic, I was hoping to find a suitable style she could use. Unfortunately I can't seem to. Not even one particularly close although I find it difficult to know which may be structurally close in terms of CSL even if the appearance is rather different.

Her style sheet is: http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/infoug/stylesheet.html

Any help would be appreciated with a style or how best to narrow the search e.g. is there a way of producing a doc with all of the existing styles displayed?
Thanks
Ken

as for "similar" the most important issue is the order of items in full notes/bibliography.
Formatting as well as how in text citations look can be changed more quickly.

Thanks
I'll have a good look.

As a former history undergraduate and postgraduate at St Andrews, I tweaked an EndNote style for this. Although I'm now elsewhere, I was thinking of trying to create a Zotero style based on my knowledge from St Andrews first, before tackling something entirely new.

I'll take a look at this at the weekend.

Great!
See this

and this

for help.
Also, feel free to ask for help here, most things get resolve quickly.

I've glanced at the documentation, but will have a proper read of it - thanks for those links. I'll see how I get on - I've not got any experience with CSL so far.

Just a heads-up for the original poster: different St Andrews schools have different citation requirements. I was a student there from 2003 to 2008, and at least during my Undergraduate the styles required for Modern History and International Relations were subtly different. The information is usually provided in the first year subject handbooks, though again this may have changed.

Thanks for looking at this. Yes, I noticed her English style sheet is different. It would be nice if they would standardise.
