anonymous works with known authors

djhandschy
I want to cite works that were originally published anonymously, but whose authors have subsequently become known. In Chicago, one typically puts the known author's name in square brackets (eg [Newman, John Henry]). Is there any way to do this automatically in Zotero?

    Enter the brackets into the Author field to accomplish this.

    But how can we set things up so that all the subsequent *short-title references have *two brackets around the author's last name only:

    [Newman], short-title, p.#

    ...instead of...

    [Newman, John Henry], short-title, p.#
    or
    [John Henry Newman], short-title, p.#





  • bwiernik
    In Zotero: [Newman] in the Last Name field, ans John Henry in the First Name field

    Two problems with this:

    1. The first footnoted citation of Newman's book will read:

    John Henry [Newman], full-title, p#. --- which is incorrect.

    The correct reading is:
    [John Henry Newman], full-title, p#
    --------------------------------

    2. The bibliography entry will read:

    [Newman], John Henry, full-title, p#. --- also incorrect.

    The correct reading is:
    [Newman, John Henry], full-title, p#.

    Any other solutions?

    I don't think we can do this -- it's the level of detail that's in some of the Chicago rules that I just don't see how we'd reasonably automate.
