MHRA 4th 7.12 advice?

Hi!

I'm using the Zotero plug in on MS Word, and wondering if anyone knows how to implement this rule in my thesis' Word file:

"In a monograph or thesis, treat each chapter independently for this purpose. That is, give a full reference for a source at its first mention in the chapter, and shortened references later in that chapter. If it occurs again in a later chapter, give the full reference again at its first mention there."

I initially wrote each chapter in a separate Word document each, now that I've consolidated it to one big file I find that it has synced away all the seperated first-mentions per chapter. Is it possible to do this with the plugin or shall I manually ammend citations?

Thanks!
  • Unfortunately that is not possible and you can find that requested regularly and the answer is always the same.
    Combining the chapters as .pdfs is generally what's recommended.
  • Hi, thanks for this, as I could not find the query while I searched, I apologise for asking!
  • Could you tell me more about what you mean by combine the chapters as .pdfs? Will I not lose my bibliography/contents page if I synced it in one document? Thanks!!
