Upgrade StorageStyle Request: Chinese Std GB/T 7714 2005 Parenthetical
Hello,
This might be considered more a "revision" to the existing style. The Chinese national standard actually describes two different formats: a numerical and a parenthetical. I currently have to do all needed parenthetical references by hand, as Zotero does not have a parenthetical style available (EndNote does, but I like Zotero – and I can't afford EndNote!). Basically the difference between this and the current one for Zotero is that the parenthetical version contains in-text author-date citations in capital letters inclosed in full-width parentheses, separated by a full-width comma (no space after the comma) instead of superscript square-bracketed numerals.
Example: （MARES，2001）
Here are the formatted bibliography entries:
CAMPBELL J L, PEDERSEN O K. 2007. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success[J]. Comparative Political Studies, 40(3): 307-332.
MARES I. Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers?[C] // HALL P A, SOSKICE D. Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage. New York: Oxford University Press, 2001:184-213.
And here is a link to the full style guide (in Chinese):

I decided to do the task myself since no one has replied here. However, I found the recommended instructions to be confusing. They are the ones at this webpage:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
I ended up using Mendeley's Visual CSL Editor to edit the existing Numerical style to make the new Parenthetical version. This was much easier, though it still took a bit of trial and error before my citations came out right! It seems to be working beautifully now though, both with English and Chinese language citations.
I would like to let the public benefit from the parenthetical version, but I still cannot figure out the technical instructions to upload it to the existing repository. I find them to be just as confusing as the first ones. The webpage is at:
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
Forgive my technical ignorance, I am a language teacher (and a student one at that!) not a computer programmer so code editing and pull requests make no sense to me...
For now i just have the file here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6087345/chinese-gb7714-2005-author-date.csl
I don't know what to do with it now though...
(FWIW, there is a link to the visual editor at the top of the step-by-step instructions for style editing and that the contributing option "C" is essentially what you did)
If you submit corrections or additions to the style in the future, please always work with the most recent copy from the style repository, as we frequently adjust the formatting of styles slightly.
Thank you for contributing!
