Upgrade StorageAdapting the Chicago citation style
Hi all,
I am at a total loss when it comes to technology, so I really hope someone can help me. I am working on a text, relying on Zotero to enter my references in footnotes with the Chicago style guide. This works very well.
My uni requires me to cite a reference in full when it is cited for the first time, and then only have the footnote indicate last name date, page.
So:
Mit Mickson, The Internet is weird, 2022, p. 455.
would become
Mickson 2022, p. 382.
next time I cite it.
I am not sure if this is possible, but it would be ideal if the short reference also refers to the footnote the reference is first cited in. So e.g.
Mickson 2022 (fn. 12), p. 889.
That way, I will not include a bibliography at the end of my text.
Can anybody help???
Thank you all so much!
Mia

Certainly possible, but needs some work.
We have this style which basically has the subsequent citation already: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:chicago-fullnote-bibliography-short-title-subsequent
And then you'd add something like to the section in lines 1368ff (here it tests if the citation is a subsequent citation):
<group delimiter=" " prefix="(" suffix=")"><label variable="first-reference-note-number" form="short"/>
<text variable="first-reference-note-number"/>
</group>
General guide how to edit is here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
I went through the links and tips you sent but must confess that I just don't know how to implement them...I am working with the Chicago full note style, but don't know how to adapt it so it fits my requirements. Any help with this would be much much appreciated!!
