I am not sure which fields to pay particular attention to. This is what OSCOLA says regarding periods / full stops. As little punctuation as possible: 1.3 Punctuation, ranges of numbers and years, and foreign words 1.3.1 Punctuation OSCOLA …
-
Thanks for the response: Re the 'W. W.' - is there any way of stripping out the full stops / abbreviations as they are not supposed to be there for OSCOLA (whereas they might be recommended for another style)?
-
Can I ask how one can distinguish in OSCOLA between reports that need square brackets (where it is the year that is more important than the volume) and round brackets (where it is the volume that is more important than the year)?
-
I believe a couple of full stops / periods have crept in: 11. Steven Pinker, How the Mind Works (W.W. Norton 2009) p 4.
-
I think the bibliography section has a couple of issues. (1) Authors should be in the format Surname, initials. It seems currently to give the full forenames. See: Dhami, Mandeep K and Peter Ayton, ‘Bailing and Jailing the Fast and Frugal …

I should add, sincere thanks to Sebastian for his speedy and excellent work on this.

A much more complete version of OSCOLA for Zotero is now in the repository at: http://zotero.org/styles?q=OSCOLA (the first style) There are still shortcomings, mainly due to the current limitations of vanilla Zotero. However, it would be …

Hi Frank, I have tended to use MLZ in the past due to the original version of your ODF scan which provided massive functionality that was not then available in Vanilla. Now I have switched back to Vanilla as the ODF facility is now fairly robustly i…
-
@adamsmith Thanks very much for the update. Can I ask how do you think it would cost for you to write it? Maybe we could collect some contributions?
-
Can I check where we are with the vanilla OSCOLA? I note that there are two on Zotero - one that says 'no n_' and 'no ibid'. It is not clear what the real difference is. Have there been any updates to the vanilla style? Does it now number the refere…

Regular Zotero

@adamsmith I'm using the MLZ OSCOLA style, perhaps this is something to do with it. I'll check the add ons when I can use my laptop.

I am experiencing a few problems with citations not merging. I am using version 1.0.11 with Zotero standalone and Scrivener. For example: { | Gigerenzer and Engel, 2006 | | 1| zotero://select/items/0_9RWIABUS}{See also | Leiter and Weisberg, 2009 | …
-
@adamsmith: aha, thank you for pointing this out. I had assumed that that had not been implemented as it would have required changes to vanilla Zotero. I've now used the URL functionality and can confirm that it does work very effectively. Well done…
-
I've only just become aware of this great initiative, so forgive me for not commenting on this thread sooner. I think it may be quite important that one of the key reasons behind the original idea for this idea is not forgotten, namely: outlining. O…
-
Thanks to you all for your work and commitment to this. I'm really looking forward to seeing it realised.
-
It would be great if you guys could get the odf scan into vanilla Zotero soon. The added functionality would be huge, both in terms of using a wider range of programs, and to allow proper outlining. What does it depend on? Surely the code has a…
-
I have been using MLZ Zotero for about a year and have experienced no problems. I have it set up on a separate Firefox profile, so I can run MLZ Zotero and Vanilla Zotero side-by-side using the same Zotero database. If you can work out how to i…
-
@samuelas, I'm equally clueless in Terminal, but let me try to help. I've just run through setting it up again. I'm also using OS 10.8 I think the key is to ensure that you have navigated using cd to the correct directory where you saved Z…
-
For all those looking for better Scrivener and Zotero integration - good news. Frank Bennet's suggested setup above has been implemented and works well. I have been using it extensively. It is as follows: MLZ Zotero allows a click and drag of y…
-
@adamsmith: I would strongly support that proposal. @Heckscher: Have you tried Frank Bennett's Multilingual Zotero? I suspect that would achieve what you're trying to do with much greater reliability. The identifier is created using a click and…
-
Further to Frank's note, I have been using his setup with MLZ Zotero to do outlining. It works extremely effectively and I would highly recommend it. Basically, with a click and drag on your Zotero item, you get a plain text or html link that you ca…
-
@adamsmith The issue is that in order to outline, you need to use notes that typically contain only one 'factoid' (idea, reference, or quote). Using the original source is too cumbersome. However, you also need to be able to quickly find the pa…
-
Can I request an outlining facility in Zotero? It would be tremendously useful and is the logical next step for people looking to make the most of the technology. I'm not an expert, but it seems that it is almost possible to do so in Zotero pre…
-
@hwk, I've approved you. There is no real criteria at present, it is only so that we can have a shared library. Feel free to upload your OSCOLA style, I'm sure it would be very useful.
-
@afonsodasilva, that's my fault (again). I think I have fixed it now. (...Are there any more technically literate volunteers who would like to help administer the group?) I have also downloaded your file and added it to the group library. Any ideas …
-
@afonsodasilva - sorry about the previous inability to upload the file to the group - apparently this was because it was a public, open group. I have now changed the status to public closed. You should be able to upload now. Let me know if you have …
-
Dear afonsodasilva, thank you for your valuable comments. I have created an OSCOLA group here: https://www.zotero.org/groups/oscola . Perhaps you could upload your partial style there? I know there are a number of people that are interested in devel…

BTW, the latest edition of OSCOLA has just come out and is available here: http://www.law.ox.ac.uk/publications/oscola.php

I would be interested to hear if anybody has successfully set up OSCOLA for Zotero. @AJS2: can you not do the cross reference with word? Ie, insert / cross-reference / to footnote / footnote number?
