Upgrade StorageQuestion Citation Style: Special Author-date citation in footnotes Cf. Authors (Year), p. ...
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a special Author-date citation style in the footnotes. However, there are also some peculiarities. In general, the reference should look like this:
Cf. Authors (Year), p. ...
The footnote only includes the last name of the author, the year of publication (in brackets) and the page(s) of the passage (added by hand). Note that the footnote should include up to three surnames and only afterwards et al.
As an Example: https://doi.org/10.1093/rfs/hhab048
The footnote should look like:
Cf. Adanov, Kräusel, and Rauh (2021), p.
So far, I was not able to find the right citation style and was wondering if this one already exist in Zotero?

I found the citation style "International Organization" which comes to close the style I am looking for. However, this one still does not include "Cf.", "p." and brackets around the year.
I currently trying to understand the macro coding and was wondering of you can code a macro which just includes "Cf." and "p"
My try (<> are at the end of the lines but cannot be displayed in the forum)
macro name="cf"
text term="Cf."/
/macro
Afterwards I would fit in here:
citation et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-names="true" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true"
[...]
group
--> text macro="cf"/ <--
text macro="contributors-short"/
text macro="issued-year" prefix=" "/
text macro="point-locators-subsequent" prefix=", "/
/group
/else
/choose
I guess some would then also work for the brackets and page number

<group prefix="cf. "><text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="issued-year" prefix=" "/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent" prefix=", p. "/>
</group>
More elegantly, you could add the locator label in the point-locators-subsequent macro instead of writing the p. in the prefix, i.e. find
<group delimiter=" "><choose>
<if locator="page" match="none">
<label variable="locator" form="short" suffix=" "/>
</if>
</choose>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
and simply remove the conditional excluding the label for pages, i.e. change to
<group delimiter=" "><label variable="locator" form="short"/>
<text variable="locator"/>
</group>
