Cite Them Right 13th edition - Harvard

r.patterson
Hi,

The 13th edition of Cite Them Right Harvard has just been published. The place of publication has been dropped from references.

I just wondered whether anyone was creating the following two styles to reflect this update?
Cite Them Right 13th edition - Harvard
Cite Them Right 13th edition - Harvard (no "et al.")

Thanks,

Ruth

    I am about to start working together with the publishers of CTR to rework their style. It'll be a few months though to get this through.
  • r.patterson
    That's great. Thanks for letting me know.

    With the 12th edition style sheet, there isn't a natural way to render the language of a translation as required by the CTR Harvard specification (12th & 13th edns). CTR makes it complicated by having different cases for modern and ancient translations (I assume there is a good reason for this!):

    Translated from the Spanish by G. Haycraft and R. Haycraft. [separate sentence]

    Homer (1991) The Iliad (Translated from the Greek by R. Fagles.) [embedded in the same sentence as the title in parentheses]

    The existing style sheet can be hacked to do this in various ways, e.g. by (mis)using the 'language' field or using CSL-M locales, but is there a clean solution that might be suitable for the 13th edition?

    As I mention above, I'm currently working with Bloomsbury on their CTR13 style, which also includes an update to support classic works.

    That's good to hear, thank you! Classic works are the reason for the hacks I've been making.

    Hi, has anyone heard any more from this? Really hoping to use Zotero but my institution requires we use 13th edition. Thanks in advance!

    Still in the works (and very slow)

    @Will1122330 You really should use Zotero :-) As mentioned above, perhaps the most noticeable change in CTR13 Harvard is to remove the place of publication. If this would be enough to keep your institution happy for now, as an interim fix you could just delete 'Place' from your Zotero items. Alternatively, if you are confident enough to edit stuff, you could make a copy of the CTR12 Harvard style sheet and delete the lines <text variable="publisher-place"/>
