Is there a way to put Springer Basic into footnotes?

    Okay the style in the Zotero repository works like that.

    Many thanks! Do you have an idea when the alphabetical order rule will be removed? I just did an update now and it still shows the sources in alphabetical order.
  • bwiernik
    Oh, I thought I had removed that. I’ll fix it and it should be up within a few days
  • HannaKUL
    Great - thanks!
  • HannaKUL
    I received some further comments/input from the publisher on the citations of cases, legislation, and other legal documents which are not included in the Springer Key Style Points (which I shared earlier). I uploaded the input under the following online link: https://ufile.io/aql2x
    Could you possibly change the style accordingly? Many thanks in advance!!


  • bwiernik
    I’ll take a look this week

    Thank you very much! Highly appreciated!

    I also noticed that the ibid-function is not yet activated. Could you maybe also have a look a this? Many thanks again!
  • HannaKUL
    Do you maybe have an idea when the updated version will be available? I might have to start changing the footnotes manually if I want to get back to the publisher in time. Yet, if an updated version would be out soon, that would save me lots of time. Many many thanks in advance.

    Can you give a detailed (!) example of how it currently looks and how you want it to look?
    Specify the fields in which the data is. then it's easier to help.
  • HannaKUL
    A detailed overview of how the publisher wants the citations of cases, legislation, and other legal documents which are not included in the Springer Key Style Points (which I shared earlier and is not tailored to legal citations) can be found under the following link: https://ufile.io/aql2x. Is this sufficient?

    In addition, could the ibid-function be included?

    Many thanks in advance.
  • damnation
    No, I've seen that document, that's why I asked you specifically for the information in my post.
  • HannaKUL
    My apologies - I now made some specific examples, see https://ufile.io/94p7i

    Is this sufficient? Many thanks in advance.

    @damnation

    1 - Remove sorting in the citation macro
    2 - Add ibid
    3 - Add formatting for legal cites from linked above. These are very similar to the APA legal-cites macro.

    @HannaKUL

    - ibid: added, please test and review
    - sorting in bibliography: removed.
    - legal stuff: edited

    thank you for adapting that .doc file. That was extremely helpful!

  • HannaKUL
    I tried to download the link and then add it to Zotero (Zotero preferences > cite > additional styles > add downloaded link) but this didn't work. The downloaded file has an txt extension and remains light grey so I can't click on it. Is there another way to add it?
  • damnation
    Do the following:
    - open the link in a new browser tab/window
    - Open this link: http://editor.citationstyles.org/codeEditor/
    - copy all the code into the codeEditor
    - On the top, switch to VisualEditor
    - Left top, click on Style and Save Style
    - Click on Download Style and it will download as a .csl
  • bwiernik
    You should also be able to just right-click on the link above and choose Save As. When you save it, if it suggests a .txt link, then delete that and use .csl instead.
  • HannaKUL
    Many thanks - that worked. I tested the new version. The ibid function works well, yet it seems that the other citations such as those of texts and reports have not been changed (e.g. for cases: still no use of italics and still wrong order; for reports: still no italics, no report number and no date).
  • damnation
    I did what bwiernik had lined out. What else needs changing? Again, please be more specific. I look at a handful of styles every day and can't spend 30min rereading everything. ;)
  • HannaKUL
    My apologies for that - in the new doc files (https://ufile.io/edmw1) I outlined how the citations for legal stuff should be. I am not really sure how much more information I can give, but I will give it a try.

    The specific changes that need to be made for cases:

    - Name of the case in italics
    - Docket number before date
    - Reporter: no abbreviation
    - Reporter volume: after reporter

    For reports:

    - Title: in italics
    - Reporter number: to be included and should come after title
    - Date: to be included and should come after reporter number

    Is this sufficient?
  • damnation
    - cases:
    italics: done
    docket/date: switched
    reporter (container-title): form=long
    Reporter after volume: done

    - report:
    title: italics now
    number and date added

    Many thanks! You are really saving me lots of time... Thank you for that!

    A couple of small points:

    Reports:

    - Between the title of a report and the report number, there should be a comma instead of a dot
    - Dates: Should be 1 January 2018 instead of January 1, 2018

    Cases:

    - the reporter volume should not be in square brackets
    - docket number before date


    Many thanks in advance again!

  • damnation
    cases:
    - square brackets removed
    - number/date switched again

    reports:
    - dot/comma: fixed
    - date format: switched locale of style, please check

  • HannaKUL
    Seems very good now - thank you.

    Two (hopefully very last) comments:

    - in case law, "paras" should be with a dot ("paras."). For the singular this is done, but not for the plural.

    - for reports, there should not be a year in brackets between author and tittle. It should just be a comma. So e.g.: "International Law Commission, Report..." instead of "International Law Commission (2014) Report..."

    Many thanks!
  • HannaKUL
    Another small issue that I have come across is that if I use two sets of round brackets in a footnote, than the inner ones are changed automatically into square brackets. Could this maybe also be adjusted so they remain round? Many thanks!
  • damnation
    - para: in what field is this? I'm blind.

    - reports: year. I've removed the year specifically for reports. please test.

    - brackets: no clue. @bwiernik or @adamsmith to the rescue!

  • HannaKUL
    Paragraphs are not in a specific field in the Zotero program itself, you can just choose its instead of pages. So not really sure where you can adjust this :).

    The year is removed for reports, yet the dot between author and title should be a comma.

    Many thanks!
  • damnation
    - comma changed.
    - paragraphs, no clue what you're doing here. Can't help

    https://github.com/POBrien333/styles/raw/a8a9786aa2b67ecbf537ca3a0e205600400ee278/springer-basic-note.csl
  • HannaKUL
    Thanks - the dot has indeed been changed to a comma! Many thanks!
  • bwiernik
    @HannaKUL Is plural paragraphs still being abbreviated “paras” and not “paras.”? Are you sure that that is incorrect? Springer uses British English generally (for example, to determine whether punctuation goes inside the quote marks”, and “paras” is the correct abbreviation there.

    @damnation That would be caused by the default locale being en-GB. If that is removed or changed to en-US, the abbreviation will change accordingly.
