Date listed at the end of bibliography in Chicago Author-Date

ndennison
For some reason, books and articles are listing the publication date either at or near the end of the bibliography rather than after the author's name(s). For example:

Book:
Rappaport, Roy A. Ritual and Religion in the Making of Humanity. Cambridge University Press, 1999.

Journal Article:
Haynes, Naomi. “On the Potential and Problems of Pentecostal Exchange.” American Anthropologist 115, no. 1 (2013): 85–95. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1548-1433.2012.01537.x.

Hepach, Maximilian Gregor, and Friederike Hartz. “What Is Lost from Climate Change? Phenomenology at the ‘Limits to Adaptation.’” Geographica Helvetica 78, no. 2 (2023): 211–21. https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-211-2023.

Any idea how to fix this? Having to move each date manually is tedious, and publishers are quite particular about style.

    The style generally does this right, you can check the previews here:

    Which style exactly are you using? How are you generating those bibliography entries? If this is using the word processor add-on, can you test in a new document?

    I'm using Chicago Author-Date. I was generating them using the Zotero desktop app (Edit --> copy bibliography --> paste in document), but only because I never tried using the Word add-on until just now. Citations and bibliography formatting are perfect when I use the add-on. Problem solved! Thank you!

    If you used copy bibliography, you likely had the wrong style selected in the preferences/settings -- you set that under Export (not under Cite, where you can just add/remove styles, not select them). You can also always use right-click --> Create Bibliography... which lets you select the citation style.

    That's absolutely what the problem was. All are correctly set to author-date now. Yet another problem solved!
