how to recognize a citation style

ioana_bratu · January 9, 2022

Hello
is there a fast way to recognize a citation style?
I have this citation:
Michael F. Blevins, J.D., M. Div., Restorative Justice, Slavery, and the American Soul, A Policy-Oriented (Fnaa1) Intercultural Human Rights Approach to the Question of Reparations, 31 T. Marshall L. Rev. 253, 276 (2006)
In the same article "supra note" is used, so it is not OSCOLA.
thank you.

You can use this tool:

1. Switch to the sample journal article
2. adapt the metadata according to the style. You should get a match in the high 90s probably.

This is a version of Bluebook -- our Bluebook styles aren't great, but do check out: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:bluebook-law-review&fields=law&dependent=0

If you are doing legal citation, consider using Juris-M, a version of Zotero with much expanded legal citation support, including a very functional style for the Indigo Book style guide
