Is there a Harvard-citation style possible?

babisckar · July 25, 2017

Hello Forum,

I am not sure, is the American Psychological Association 6th Edition style the same as Harvard? If no, could somebody tell me how to add or create such a citation style for zotero?
Best regards
Babis

Harvard style just means Author-date styles for the in-text part. So something like this (Herbert et al., 2017).
There is many, many author-date styles in the repository of which APA is one such Harvard style.

Thank you! This is helpful.

How can I get Zotero to a an 'a' after the year of publication when I am using the same author with the same publication year, e.g.
Jones, R. (2015a) Interesting activities
Jones, R. (2015b) How to grow your own vegetables
I am using Harvard Cite it Right style
Thanks

Zotero does that automatically as needed to fit the rules of the citation style you are using. So, just insert both references into Word, and the letters will be added.

Is there a way to customize this format so that it does not include parentheses? I.e. in the endnote/footnote I need it to say Author Date Page but not enclosed in parentheses.

Is this a style for a specific journal? can you supply a link to some guidelines?
But yes, that should be possible. Not sure what you exactly you mean though.
Also, have a look here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=harvard

Yes. Sorry. It is the house style for the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and is similar to the way art museums tend to do their notes and bibliographies.

For notes, they read author date, page number(s) but not in parentheses. So it would look like this:

Turner 1986, 85-89.

The bibliography then looks like this (for a book)
Turner 1986
Nicolas Turner, Florentine Drawings if the Sixteenth Century (Cambridge: 1986).

I may just use Chicago Manual of Style author-date and then remove all field codes and edit. Unless there is a way to customize.

Thanks.

That's all doable.
If you had some guidelines and an actual publications as an example I can have a look at making a custom style. Just need a bit more info.

annecleader · July 25, 2017

OK. I have a printout from the museum but can't find it online. How shall I get it to you?

damnation · July 25, 2017

Can you scan it and email it? I'll send you my email per PM then.

annecleader · July 25, 2017

I can indeed!

bwiernik · July 25, 2017

Also, if you could format the two exact references listed here: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles

According to the guidelines, that will make @damnation ‘s job much easier.

@annecleader, thanks. Could you send @damnation scans of the title page and/or bibliographic information page (imprint) of the printout as well (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/files/1177458/ISG.Museum.House.Style.pdf)? We like knowing as much as possible about the document outlining the citation format requirements.

annecleader · July 27, 2017

I will send what I have. Apologies for changing the direction of this thread with my initial query about customizing the Harvard style to do notes w/o parentheses. Happy to start a new one if need be.
