    That's logged, but will take a while as I'm currently only able to do ~1 request/week.

    @phitho88
    I had a go at the style.
    Please give it a test ride and let me know if anything needs fixing. Right click, save as, install in Zotero: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/b2dec29a38f23a8d4985d46657c0f61d88bafcae/swiss-political-science-review.csl

    @damnation
    Thank you very much! I didn't get a notificaiton, that's why it took me so long, sorry.
    I only found these few issues:
    - Also in German it's actually "et al." and not "u. a."
    - There is no Comma after the authors, it's (Schoen 2013: 348), not Schoen, 2013
    - For websites, the style is currently using date for last access, while it should be the download; also, the ":" is missing (should be zugegriffen: xx.xx.xxx)
    - Journal articles should now have the "zugegriffen" (accessed) info
    - For working papers, the series title should be plain text (not in brackets), followed by a dot and then City: Institution.
    - in some cases, in the bibliography, the author's first name is not abbreviated
    - if the author has two first names, they should be separated by a space like T. P. Tageperas

    That's all I can see - thank you for your effort!

    I think even in German it's actually "et al." and not "u. a."
    You see both in German, so the question is what the journal wants -- if there's nothing in the guidelines, please check a couple of articles?
  • phitho88
    Sorry, it's et al. (wanted to delete the "I think" part - I checked it)
  • damnation
    Hi,
    Please keep the numbering. ;)

    1. changed
    2. fixed
    3. It already shows "zugegriffen" and the accessed date.
    Test output:
    CSL Search by Example (o. J.). Online: http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/ [zugegriffen: 10.08.2017]
    4. I don't see that. From the guidelines that only applies to articles that are not in print yet.
    "If the journal article has not been published yet, specify the status of the article: Clayton, A., D. Z. O'Brien and J. M. Piscopo (2018). All Male Panels? Representation and Democratic Legitimacy. American Journal of Political Science. Advanced online: https://doi.org/10.1111/ajps.12391 [accessed: 31.10.2018]."
    5. What's a working paper? Which item type do you use for this and which fields do you enter the data in?
    6. Check that specific entry. It could also because of the author disambiguation if there is another citation with the same name.
    7. fixed

    Hi,

    thanks a lot! Where do I find the updated style, the one on the link is still the old one, right? Happy to test it!

    With regard to 5), since verything else needs to be checked with the updated version: I store them as reports (but actually, always wanted to request a category called working paper!).

    Best
  • damnation
    (I had also asked you in which fields you had those details entered for the working paper).

    Here is the file:
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/942cbb58d919d3dd4345a16f8ff383a95eb1b664/swiss-political-science-review.csl
  • phitho88
    Yes, sorry. I use "series title" for the name of the series, e.g. "Working Paper Series" and "Report Number" for the Working Paper No. Institution and Place are also there.

    3) Sorry, what I meant was that Zotero uses the date stored in the "date" field for last access, for example: [zugegriffen: 2013] if only the year has been entered. Instead, "Dated added" shall be used.
    4) Yes, wanted to say should NOT have (sorry, was so tired). So currently, Zotero uses [zugegriffen] for all journal articles, but as you said, should only be used for journals which are not published yet.
    6) You're right!

    I confirm that everything else has been fixed.
    Thank you very much for your effort, I really appreciate it!
  • damnation
    3. Where do you see this in the guidelines?
    4. Fixed

  • phitho88
    Thanks!
    Example from the guideline: Rixen, T. and Ingo Rohlfing (2005). The PoliticalEconomy of Bilateralism and Multilateralism: InstitutionalChoice inTrade and Taxation. MPRA Paper No. 325. Online: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/325/1/MPRA_paper_325.pdf [accessed: 16.07.2007]

    "accessed" shall be the "date added" in Zotero (just like for other styles for websites) and not the year the article was published (this would be 2005 in this case, but the article was last accessed on 16.07.2007 actually)
  • damnation
    In CSL I can only call the issued or accessed date here. For websites there is no issued date, so that leaves the accessed date. That is the date when you accessed the website and made the citation import in your Zotero. This is the important date as the website might've changed after that.
    This is the date we use literally in most citation style for webpages.
  • adamsmith
    Webpages have both date and date accessed, but the style looks right to me in that respect.
    It's odd, though, that you use issued for journal articles ahead of print, preceded by zugegriffen. That shouldn't be accessed instead?
  • phitho88
    I checked everything again and it looks ok to me now!
    Just one last thing, could you add that the item type "report" is also followed by "zugegriffen"? That's what I'm using for working papers now.
  • damnation
    Neither "reports" nor "working papers" have the accessed data given as per the guidelines.
  • phitho88
    Oh I see, must have confused with another journal. Then it's looking pretty good, thanks a lot ofr your work!!!
