Endnote style problem

Hi,
I'm using an endnote style so that I can use seperate footnotes and endnotes. The problem I'm facing is that most of the styles in Zotero are footnote styles rather than endnote styles. I need an endnote style that is similar to Chicago but at the moment all I can get is one that looks like this:

World Bank, Growing Africa: Unlocking the Potential of Agribusiness (The World Bank and AFTFP/AFTAI, 2013),


Ideally I want a style that puts the YEAR after the AUTHOR, e.g:

World Bank. 2013. Growing Africa: Unlocking the Potential of Agribusiness. http://tinyurl.com/ldpb9cv.

Any ideas of what I can do?

Many thanks for any help
  • Not sure what that has to do with footnotes vs. endnotes?
    Chicago Manual is quite clear that it's rules apply to either. I'm not aware of a style that printer author followed by year in notes. Haven't seen something like that anywhere (neither as a requirement nor in print) either.
    What is this for?
    You can always try using: http://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor
    both for identifying styles and for modifying them, but that's probably your best bet.
  • THanks Adamsmith. I mean the option "Display citations as Endnote" which is only available as an option on a handful of styles. Most styles are footnotes..I can't use the normal footnote as this will get confused with actual footnotes which I also use! Oh dear! Is that confusing!
    THANKS
  • No, most styles are neither, but appear in text. Footnote/Endnote is just greyed out for those.

    You can look at https://www.zotero.org/styles and check the "note" box at the top for all styles that will give you footnotes. Unfortunately, they'll just show you the bibliography in preview, so may include some trial and error. Or use the tool I link to above.
  • Pretty sure all note styles can be footnotes or endnotes. What style are you trying to use?
  • (@aurimas - the greyed out footnote/endnote option looks like it's set to footnote for all in-text styles)
  • Those options actually disappear in Word instead of getting grayed out. Not sure why the inconsistency. Will take a look.
  • no, you're right, I'm wrong. Disappear in LO as well.
  • Thanks very much adamsmith and aurimas. I ended up using Middle East Critique style which comes close to what I wanted.
    @aurimas, I don't think all styles can be footnotes/endnotes as the endnote option disappears with most styles...as Adamsmith points out.
