Use comma instead of period after 'report type'

LorezQ · December 10, 2021

Hi there,

I am using the Chicago style, 17th edition (author-date). Du to our reference-style needs, when we create a report reference, we put the type of the report, in the Report type section (ex. Policy paper). However, in the bibliography, the report type is separated from the publisher with a period. We need it to be separated by a comma. See the example below:

Default:
Kose, M. A., F. Ohnsorge, and N. Sugawara. 2021. “A Mountain of Debt: Navigating the Legacy of the Pandemic.” Policy Research Working Paper 9800. World Bank, Washington, DC.

Change:
Kose, M. A., F. Ohnsorge, and N. Sugawara. 2021. “A Mountain of Debt: Navigating the Legacy of the Pandemic.” Policy Research Working Paper 9800, World Bank, Washington, DC.

Does anyone know how to change the period after 9800 to be a comma?

Thank you in advance,
Lorez

Hi all.

I would appreciate any help on this one. Still haven't been able to find a solution.

Thanks,

This is set in the "issue" macro, specifically in the else of that the conditional there.
Change the prefix on the group.

As this changes also how books are rendered, create a new else-if matching for "report" and copy what is in the else part, but then changing the group prefix.
