Not finding a citation used by "Theoretical Criminology"

jklein
I cannot find a citation style used by "Theoretical Criminology." Here is a sample of what they want:
Adams, Carol J. (1994) Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. New York: Continuum.

Am i missing that it is in the long Zotero list? Could it be an earlier Amer. Psych. Assoc. version than 6th, and if so, can i install that?
Thanks for suggestions.

    APA 5th edition is in the repository.
    Which style Theoretical Criminology conforms to you have to find in their instructions to authors. It's very much possible that it's not yet in Zotero. In that case see:

    They don't specify.

    it's their job - and certainly not yours to guess. Send an e-mail to the editor.
    Alternatively, submit with generic formatting (i.e. APA or Chicago author-date). Once/if your article gets accepted they'll probably send you a stylesheet.

    Thanks, not my preference, but i'll try that. In general, what do people do in this situation, where i have examples of the style required, but w/o an official name, i have no way to find it?

    Browse through the examples, looking for one that is the closest match. There are less than 300 unique styles and examples are given, so it isn't too bad. Start with the most common styles & then move on to styles by the same publisher or in the same field. I haven't looked at social-studies-of-science.csl vs. your requirements, but they're both from SAGE.

    well - they have a section with style examples - that usually means they have a unique in-house style. There aren't many style in the repository that use British style single quotations ('like this',) and most of them except social-studies-of-science.csl mentioned by noksagt are footnoted styles.
    So you're back here:
    www.zotero.org/support/requesting_styles

    Edit: as you try to find a similar style, don't pay any attention to the in text citation - that's done in 5mins for an author-date style. What matters is the bibliography. So you can look at all style, including ones using numbers/footnotes as citations such as MHRA or History Journal.
