The position of "year" in bibliography entries

dkl777 · February 16, 2015

Hi all,

I adjusted a citation style which comes now pretty close to what I expect. However, the "year" statement now comes after the journal and I would like to have it before the journal. Is there any way to move this?

Here is an example.

It now looks like this:
Connor JM. “Collusion and price dispersion.” Applied Economics Letters. (2005); 12(6); 335–338

I would like to have it look like this:
Connor JM. (2005) “Collusion and price dispersion.” Applied Economics Letters. 12(6); 335–338

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Maybe it helps to look here for a start: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step

beyond that, we'd have to see the custom style -- post to gist.github.com, create a public gist, and link to it from here.

Hi, thanks:

I created a secret gist. Is this OK?

The link is this one:

Thanks a again for your help.

move
<text macro="date"/>
up so that it's right above
<text macro="editor"/>

Hi, thanks a lot.

I can not seem to find these text snippets in the code.
Can you maybe refer to lines of code maybe?

Thanks a bunch.

move line 299 to 295 -- (FWIW, ctrl+f in your browser on github would have gotten you that).

Hi, thanks a lot.

I found it now. However, this does not change the date in all bibliografie articles. For instance in the "articles" class there is no change. Can you maybe help me with this once more.

Thanks,
Moritz

that would definitely change the where the date is printed. If it doesn't, you're not updating your copy of the style correctly. Test in the Zotero test pane:

Hi, thanks a lot again. I got it now! :-)

I would like to ask you one more question:
I have a problem with citing websites. In particular, the bibliography should display an entry where it shows when the website was accessed. Can you maybe give me some tips with how to implement something like this?

Thanks,
Moritz

adamsmith · February 16, 2015

the thing to look for is <date variable="accessed">
most styles have some version of this, so you can just look at a couple of them as a template to get you going (many have an entire macro "access" or "accessed" that may work well for you as a template, too).

dkl777 · February 17, 2015

Hi, thanks a lot again.

I found something called "accessed-date" in the code. Would that be it?

I am actually using the style with jabref. So I was wondering if it is a problem with the jabref fields. I have now a field in my custom jabref entry type "website" that is called "access-date". Should this do the job?

Thanks,
M

Given the style in your gist this should already be displaying access date for websites if the URL is filled in. See https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2ae0dbcb210379a39083#file-xxx-dt-springer-vancouver-author-date-v5-csl-L299 which points to "date" macro, which for webpages includes access-date macro, which places accessed date in brackets if the URL is provided.

I get Smith J. “test” [Internet]. Test. 2009 [cited 2015 Feb 16]. Available from: http://www.google.com in Zotero. If you're not, you need to take this up with JabRef

dkl777 · February 17, 2015

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes, I believe now that it is a JabRef problem.
Do you now how the "field" that contains the date should be called?
Should it be "access" or "accessed" or "date"?

Thanks,
M

The Zotero part is obviously not relevant to you, but the CSL half is the same across all reference managers.

I am actually using the style with jabref.

JabRef supports CSL?
