Difficulty of changing "p." to ":" in SpringerSocPsych

quentinlewis
Hi,

I'm finalizing a book manuscript for Springer press, in an archaeology series. I have been told to use the SpringerSocPsych citation format and downloaded the Zotero style from the repository. It looks fine, except for in-text citations. Instead of using "Author Date:PGS", it uses "Author Date, p.PGS". Everything else seems the same/correct, especially in the bibliographic format, so I am loathe to use a different style.

Scanning the forums, it seems like changing the page number format in the CSL language is not a straightforward thing, but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. Does anyone know how I do this?

    The style in the repo seems fine: https://www.zotero.org/styles/?q=springer-socpsych-author-date . Are you using the same style?

    I just grabbed it last night. When I change the style I was using to SpringerSocPsych, all of my in-text citations shift from (to take an example):

    (Richards 2002:79–88)

    to

    (Richards 2002, pp. 79–88)

    which is neither correct according to Springer's style guide, nor is it standard in my field.
  • zuphilip
    Yes, but (author date, locator) looks fine for Springer styles. To which documentation are you refering to?

    Actually, looks like they've changed it recently, and the current Zotero style reflects that change. I stand corrected--sorry for the confusion, and thanks.
