Style Request: journal "Comparativ"
Dear Zotero users, I have to submit a paper to the journal Comparativ
They have their own style which does not resemble anything I know. Please, could you help ?
About the style : https://www.comparativ.net/v2/about/submissions
ISSN : ISSN 0940-3566
No In-text citation: complete reference in the footnote
Journal :
J. L. Campbell and O. K. Pedersen, The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success, in: Comparative Political Studies 40 (2007) 3, pp. 307-332.
Book chapter:
I. Mares, Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers?, in: P. A. Hall and D. Soskice (eds.), Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage, New York 2001, pp. 184-213.

I have made a first draft of the style which you can get here.
Right click, save as, and install via a double click/menu.
Let me know if anything needs fixing. Ideally in the form "current vs. wanted" for each item type. The style is generally adapted for books, chapters, articles, reports, websites.

However, there are a few problems to fix.
1) The main problem is about the date for books or chapters :
Current : B. Geremek, Le salariat dans l’artisanat parisien aux XIIIe-XVe siècles : étude sur le marché de la main d’œuvre au Moyen Âge, (1968), Paris 1968
vs:
B. Geremek, Le salariat dans l’artisanat parisien aux XIIIe-XVe siècles : étude sur le marché de la main d’œuvre au Moyen Âge, Paris 1968.
2) There is also a pb for repeated citations. Instead of "Ibid., 2-3" (without "p"), I have "[CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.]"
3) If it was possible to adapt the style for "thesis" too, it would be great.
The principle given by the journal is :
Author, Title, Thesis Type, Place of Presentation, Year or Date, Page(s).
The example given is :
J. Smith, War Crimes in International Law, LL.M. thesis, George Washington University School of Law, 2000, pp. 1-76.
Thanks again !
1. chapter: fixed
2. ibid. changed some stuff. please check. On my work computer where I don't have Zotero or Word to test it.
3. Thesis is adapted now. Please check, and also reports. Uses the same conditional.

2. Ibid works only if I give a "locator" (page number), not if I quote a whole book again. But maybe we are not supposed to do that... Anyway, it is now a minor problem. One detail : after Ibid., Comparativ does not want "p." before the page number.
Current : Ibid., p. 76.
vs. Ibid., 76.
I might be able to fix that myself but since your are editing an official style...
3. Thesis works perfectly. I think that "reports" does too, but I have no "report" in my database/library.
4. Thank you very much again ! This will save me a lot of time at the end of the article I have been writing...
Please test it out in a fresh document.
Re the "p. " label. We can do that, but I just assumed that was a mistake in the guidelines. It's very unusual!
I'd just submit and if they pick up on something we'll fix it, you can update the style with a click and you'll be fine.
