A Zotero 'code number' is mapped to a volume number, which MHRA displays as Roman numerals, but it's only meant to do this with a numeric value. The display you are seeing looks to be a bug in the citation processor (citeproc-js). As there are no e…

It looks as if this is a problem with the website translator. I can confirm that if I visit this page and save the article to Zotero, 32 is correctly added as the issue, but also 'Number: 32' appears in the Extra field: https://iupress.istanbul.edu…

Adding an approximate date is definitely be the way to go. The only problem is that I assumed that journals could not have an uncertain date and left out the processing for this. I will be submitting a fix momentarily! Otherwise, 'forthcoming' will…
-
To be more precise, the styles for the 18th edition use the CSL 'forthcoming' term if a journal article has a volume/issue/supplement number and no issue date, page range, or article number. If anyone can think of situations in which one would want …
-
This is intentional, as I had assumed that any journal article without a date must be forthcoming, following examples in the official manual. In what situation would one have a published journal article without a known date? This behaviour only app…

Are they really using the eighth edition, or do they simply want you to use ibid?
-
This is a bug in the citation processor; it was fixed five months ago, so I hope it won’t be long before the fix makes it to Zotero. https://github.com/Juris-M/citeproc-js/pull/253

The Visual Editor unfortunately falls apart once there are more than about thirty macros, and the Chicago style is obliged to provide duplicates of most of its macros because of the minor differences between notes and bibliography. My aim in writing…

Yes, I was using the short form of a container title to allow authors to specify a shorter publication name when substituting it for an author. I'll simply remove this.
-
@vparrilla I wonder whether the UCL Press adaptation of Chicago is what you're looking for in title capitalization? We don't have a CSL style for this yet but I could create one. https://uclpress.co.uk/publish-with-us/the-publishing-process-writing…

The Style Manager is under the 'Cite' section of Zotero Settings. If you don't have the Chicago (notes and bibliography) style, try checking for Zotero updates, which will reload the default styles. If no updates are available and you still do not …

I tried to figure out a way to render translated titles, as I sometimes need them myself, but there’s simply no variable for this. I expect there will be one in the next version of CSL. If you can get away with a different style, the medium field w…
-
Both of the examples you give, as the publisher requests them, are correct for the Chicago notes and bibliography styles (not shortened notes), with the language set to British English (en-GB). You will receive a correct citation from Zotero if you…

The genre variable is especially useful for providing a description of an untitled work. This is essential for unpublished films, such as in archives (e.g. ‘Footage of trolleybuses at Smithfield, London’). From that perspective it would be ideal to …
-
According to the CSL specification, the genre field provides the ‘Type, class, or subtype of the item (e.g. “Doctoral dissertation” for a PhD thesis; “NIH Publication” for an NIH technical report)’. For films, the field might be useful for somethin…

It’s only a two-line fix; I should have something submitted by the end of the weekend, then it only needs to be reviewed.
-
I’ve submitted a fix for the IMDB translator: https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/3461
-
CSL uses the archive fields for both physical archives and database references, which is a challenge to render correctly with Chicago, as they provide completely different formats for the two. Right now, documents, manuscripts, and archival collect…
-
Unsigned magazine/newspaper articles, reference works, broadcasts, and web pages appear in the bibliography under the name of the parent publication, since there is no author. For example, CMOS 14.97 gives this note example: 1. “In Texas, Ad Heats …

Chicago has always specified that the page range for newspaper articles is unnecessary: even the 16th edition styles do not show it. I am unable to recreate a newspaper citation in which the date does not appear. Could you please post a screenshot …
-
@bwiernik That is intentional, since the majority of British academic styles use Oxford spelling (-ize rather than -ise). The major cross-disciplinary guides, MHRA and New Hart's Rules, are unambiguous about this. Using Oxford spelling is also a bet…
-
The British English locale follows the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors. If Zotero is set to British English or you’re using the en-GB setting, you will receive British-style punctuation and abbreviations with Chicago, most notably usin…

This is a new convention in the 18th edition. The place of publication is still allowable, however, and we've grouped this along with the other major allowable conventions from earlier editions into "classic" variants available for every Chicago cit…

Use the Report Number and Report Type fields, such as in this example of a World Bank report: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/test_items_library/items/GK5BWBZC/item-details If the information isn’t appearing in your citation, then the style …

The only situation in which one would normally provide a title when citing correspondence is when quoting a subject line or memorandum title. Otherwise, the title should be left blank, instead providing a brief description (‘letter’, ‘email’, ‘memor…
-
I suspect the reason for this APA rule is that some journals have numeric article numbers, meaning that you could get a plain number that looks like a page reference without the ‘Article’ label.
-
By the way, you don’t need to repeat the names in the title field — you’ll get a more correct citation if you instead put ‘letter’ in the Type field.
-
This should be an easy fix: I’ll look into it later in the week. I would guess that you’re citing another item that includes a different Curie (even if it’s just a marginally different form of Marie) and therefore it’s adding the initial to disambig…
-
Until Zotero adds this as a field, article numbers can be added in the Extra field: number: e0209899 Here is an example: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/test_items_library/collections/5V67EPX3/items/GYRVLCVL/item-details This will also wor…

Standard Turabian style no longer uses ibid, so it is unnecessary to have a separate style for this.
