'Conference paper' in bibliography (Harvard) not showing properly

suselko
Hi

I have noticed that my conference papers do not show properly in bibliography when I use Harvard reference format 1. It should be:

Authorship, Year. Full title of conference paper. In: Editor or name of organisation. Full title of conference. Location, Date, Publisher: Place of publication

For example:

Brown, J., 2005. Evaluating surveys of transparent governance. In UNDESA, (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) 6th Global forum on reinventing government: towards participatory and transparent governance. Seoul, Republic of Korea 24-27 May 2005. United Nations: New York.

(I got it from http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm?harvard_id=51#51)

In my bibliography the conference name and the date do not show. I was wondering if it could be amended in the next release of Zotero? Many thanks, Filip

    There is no such thing as official "Harvard" format -
    http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/harvard_style

    It looks like you are trying to follow "Anglia Harvard", as defined by your University.

    If none of the existing styles at the repository are close enough, then you can request a new style like this: http://www.zotero.org/support/requesting_styles

    well, but the Harvard style in the repository supposedly follows the styleguide suselko links to (i.e. that's the documentation cited), so it should certainly do this correctly.

    OK - I've added the conference name - you shut input that into Zotero with location and full date - since no actual conference date variable exists, everything else would create a giant mess.
    install the updated style here:

    edit: updated link

    The link adamsmith gives is broken, and this doesn't appear to have made it into the main harvard1 style available in the styles repository. Any idea where I can find it? Many thanks.

    the style on the repository is the one I updated - it should show the conference name - could you give an example where it doesn't?
  • Cathryn
    No, my mistake - the link was broken, but I had the name of the conference in the wrong place. It's working fine when not used by an idiot!
  • adamsmith
    yes - that happened in March when Dan pushed the (dev) style up to the clients. I fixed the link above.
