"Style Request: AGRH2012" (close to APA 6th with brackets)

Hello there,

I love Zotero but I don't know how to use it fully...

I am looking for a citation style (close to APA 6th with brackets) which would look like this:

In the text: [Dürkheim, 1934, p. 35] - [Herzberg et al., 1959, p. 22]

In the bibliography:
Dürkheim E. (1934), The Division of Labour Society, London, Macmillan
Herzberg F., Mausner B., Snyderman B. (1959), The motivation to work, New York, John Wiley and Sons
Chandler A. (1992), « Organizational Capabilities and the Economic History of the Industrial Enterprise », Journal of Economic Perspectives, vol. 6, n°3, p. 79-100
Lewin K., Dembo T., Festinger L., Sears S. (1944), « Level of aspiration », in Hunt J. McV (éd.), Personality and the Behavior Disorders, New York, Ronald Press, p. 333-378

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

    The square brackets are easy if that's the only difference.
  • Yes: square brackets is the only difference!!
    ...though editing a style still looks technical to me.

    Thank you for your quick answers but I'm still stuck :/
  • Let's try to be an IT guy and see what I can do!

    Sorry but I don't get it: when I edit the "APA 6th edition" style, I can't find which parenthese must be replaced by a square bracket!
    I STILL NEED HELP please.

    At the end of the style, after

    <citation et-al-min="6" et-al-use-first="1" et-al-subsequent-min="3" [...]


    replace:
    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
    by:
    <layout prefix="[" suffix="]" delimiter="; ">

    (no need to SHOUT)
  • Thank you lol
  • By the way, what's AGRH2012?
  • It is the name of a French yearly conference in Human Resource Management. If someone else is looking for their bibliography style, they might find this post!

    I have a new issue:
    -I have edited the file as you said and saved in a ".csl" format.
    -When I drag and drop the file into Firefox, it suggests to replace "APA 6th edition style" with the one I have named "AGRH2012".

    How can I do to just add "AGRH2012" as a new style withouth losing the "APA 6th edition" one?
  • see the link I post above, in particular the part about changing the ID.
  • Omg I did it! I just can't believe it. I am so proud of myself lol. Thank you very much for your patience and your quickness.

    Is there a friendly-user application to easily do this kind of style-editing? Maybe soon?
  • Probably not soon, but eventually:
