Style Request: American Psychological Association 7th edition (TU Dresden)

Linda2901 · September 4, 2020

Hello,
i have used the citation style "American Psychological Association 7th edition" for my scientific work. Unfortunately it is not in accordance with the requirements of my university. Can someone help me to adapt the style?
The bibliography should look like the following:

American Psychological Association, APA (Hrsg.) (2010). Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6. Auflage), Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.

Dechow, P., Ge, W., & Schrand C. (2010). Understanding earnings quality: A review of the proxies, their determinants and their consequences. Journal of Accounting & Economics, 50. Jg., Heft 2 - 3, S. 344 - 401.

Haller, A., & Fuhrmann, C. (2012). Die Entwicklung der Lageberichterstattung in Deutschland vor dem Hintergrund des Konzepts des „Integrated Reporting“. Zeitschrift für internationale und kapitalmarktorientierte Rechnungslegung, 12. Jg., Heft 10, S. 461 - 469.

I have to use the words: "Hrsg.", "Auflage", "Heft" ...

Can someone PLEASE help me?
Linda

Thank you!

If you just want the words in German, you can set the bibliography language in the Document Preferences window in the Zotero tab in Word.

If you need other changes, let me know. Your examples don’t include DOIs, but those are really important for making items retrievable, so I recommend leaving them.

Hello,

Thank you very very very much for your answer!
My settings are set to german.
By means of an example I would like to show my desired changes:
For the paper (DOI: 10.1016/j.jacceco.2010.09.001) I receive the following citation in the bibliography with the APA style:

Dechow, P., Ge, W., & Schrand, C. (2010). Understanding earnings quality: A review of the proxies, their determinants and their consequences. Journal of Accounting and Economics, 50(2), 344–401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacceco.2010.09.001

But the university gives me the following guidelines:

Dechow, P., Ge, W., & Schrand C. (2010). Understanding earnings quality: A review of the proxies, their determinants and their consequences. Journal of Accounting & Econom-ics, 50. Jg., Heft 2 - 3, S. 344 - 401.

Thank you very munch for your help!!!

Do you have a link to your university’s style guidelines? That is quite different from standard APA style.

Linda2901 · September 5, 2020

but actually there are not so many differences?
i just don't need the DOI, and the names "Jg", "Heft", "Hrsg.", "S." have to be adapted...
Can you help me? please

bwiernik · September 5, 2020

APA doesn’t use any of those words for volume, issue, etc at all.

Linda2901 · September 5, 2020

okay :/

And what do you advise me now? which style should i take?

Can you at least remove the DOI?

damnation · September 5, 2020

It's none of these styles?

Linda2901 · September 5, 2020

no, unfortunately not! I have already gone through them all

Linda2901 · September 5, 2020

Do you have a tip on how I can at least hide the DOI number in apa style?

bwiernik · September 5, 2020

Like I said, I will make this style, but please have a little patience.

Linda2901 · September 6, 2020

That sounds great! Thank you very much!!!! :) I am patient, at the end of September I have to hand in the work

adamsmith · September 7, 2020

@bwiernik -- @jmiba , a librarian in Dresden (I think?) has coded most other TU Dresden styles, he might also be willing to take this?

bwiernik · September 7, 2020

If they want to take this that would be great otherwise I will probably get it this week.

jmiba · September 7, 2020

@adamsmith and @bwiernik, yes, I did code most of these styles, however I'm based in Cottbus now. I'm afraid I won't find much time to help.

@Linda2901, you should talk to the library about this rather silly reqirement of eliminating the DOI--the one most reliable identifier, which makes finding the cited work and accessing it as easy as pie. The library staff might help you convince your professors to update their style guides. Back in my days, with the faculty of medicine, we were successful regarding this.

bwiernik · September 7, 2020

@Linda2901 Yes, if you could convince your professors with the library's help to just use the actual APA standard rather than an adaptation, that would be great.

Linda2901 · September 7, 2020

@bwiernik @jmiba That is good advice! And before I write my diploma thesis at this chair, I will talk to the Saxon University Library and to my professor!
But I don't think that I can change the guidelines until the end of September. Therefore I would like to follow them for this scientific work and I would be really grateful if you could help me.

bwiernik · September 7, 2020

I’ll try to get to it this week

Linda2901 · September 7, 2020

@bwiernik THOUSAND THANKS!!! :)

Linda2901 · September 16, 2020

Hey @bwiernik , may I ask what the status is?

bwiernik · September 19, 2020

@Linda2901 The link you gave to the style guidelines is password protected. Can you download or copy them and share them on a public site and link here?

bwiernik · September 19, 2020

@LInda2901 Can you try this out and see if it looks correct to you? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/b09ea990920837502aff146845777a5df5577319/technische-universitat-dresden-betriebswirtschaftslehre-rechnungswesen-controlling.csl

bwiernik · September 20, 2020

@Linda2901 And should this always be in German?

Linda2901 · September 21, 2020

@bwiernik, Thank you!!!! I hope the link works:

Linda2901 · September 21, 2020

many, many thanks! the citation looks really great and really helps me!!!! One more little thing: on the websites I actually still need the information "zuletzt abgerufen am" ("last accessed on"). But I can also add this manually! Thnak you for that!!!!

bwiernik · September 21, 2020

I can add that. How should it look and for what item types?

Can you answer my questions—should the language be set to German and can you share the PDF on a public website ?

Linda2901 · September 21, 2020

For websiten it should look like this:

Carbon Disclosure Project (2011). What We Do. URL: https://www.cdproject.net/en-US/Pa-ges/HomePage.aspx, zuletzt abgerufen am: 19.10.2011.

Actually, the language should always be german, yes!

https://docdro.id/zwmtdFE

p. 14 & 20 ff.

adamsmith · September 21, 2020

The guide only has German examples, so I'd set it to German (as I understand things, Linda is a student so she has little influence on where the guide is published; it's shared above so you can check out the examples -- p. 19 )

Linda2901 · September 21, 2020

@adamsmith, Thank you!

bwiernik · September 21, 2020

(Sorry for asking a second time—I missed the sharing link above your post and thought you missed my other questions. My bad!)
