Hi, Just wanted to check if anyone has looked into this!
-
Hi, So the standard guideline from MLA is that when the titles are the same, some other element in the entry, (like editor, date, translator, edition, anything unique) has to be added in square brackets to distinguish the two entries. For instan…
-
Just chipping in to say this would be a welcome addition as and when it comes. Tried the workaround suggested in an earlier thread of creating a book-type entry and child items through Zutilo, but many elements were still missing. Ended up changing …
-
Thank you! This worked perfectly :)
-
Thank you, bwiernik. I hate to bother, but can you please highlight which portion of the code I need to replace in my present style? (As I said earlier, I have been using a slightly modified MLA 8 style based on earlier inputs from these forums to…
-
Hi bwiernik! I have pasted above the entry generated by Zotero for MLA 8 style. I tried doing this in a new file as well, but it doesn't seem to work there either. Even now, the translator and editor are shown as two different persons. Here is my f…

Hi, as a followup to the earlier request, this is what happens when I cite a chapter from a book in a series that is located online: Stoppard, Tom. “A Dimension That Can’t Be Captured.” The Hard Problem, edited by Simon Hodgson, American Conservato…
-
Thank you. This works perfectly!
-
Hi, Just bumping up this thread in case anyone has a solution for this. Thanks!
-
My understanding is that MLA 8 would expect it to look like this, at the end: Hunter, Jim. Tom Stoppard: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Jumpers, Travesties, Arcadia. Faber and Faber, 2000. Faber Critical Guides. This is based on the instru…
-
I have a request that is practically the opposite of this. I would really like to include the series names in MLA and the style allows it to be added at the end of the entry, as an optional element, but I have no idea how to enable this to be picked…
-
Thank you, that is sound advice. I'll try that!
-
I fully agree that it is working as expected. Sorry if my earlier post was unclear. What I was explaining was that I tried to take away the middle initial in the metadata of two entries "Paul M. Churchland" and "Patricia S. Churchland" to see how Zo…
-
So I tried changing the names in the database to just their first names (omitting the middle initials) to see whether it makes a difference, but I am afraid it somehow made the situation worse. I only get two (P. Churchland) entries with no further …
-
Ah, thanks. Will have to add it manually then. But I hope this will probably be included in some future revision.
-
Thanks. Yes, I've been doing this, hoping to maybe edit the bibliography entries later manually if my supervisor insists. Anyway, an added edit to the problem I raised about the disambiguation. The "first initial" mentioned in this post for "C. Joh…
-
Well, then this is part of a greater problem that I have seen discussed here about the inconsistent naming styles of authors. I have three citation entries of the same author Patricia Churchland, one with a middle name, one with a middle initial and…
-
Hi bwiernik, thanks for your quick response. I have verified that they are marked as Editors. But I tried inserting the reference in a new blank document as you suggested and the entry was fine this time. I am not sure why it went wrong earlier in m…
-
When it comes to citations of Youtube videos, MLA 8 requires that the name of the uploader to be included in the citation in the following format. “Tom Stoppard in Conversation with Hermione Lee.” YouTube, uploaded by The Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Trust…
-
Thank you. These suggestions resolved my issue on most pages.
-
Ah, thanks. I get it. Thanks for that suggestion as a workaround. Cheers!
-
This is true. I second derekgingrich here. This is extremely common in MLA, both when the title is spelt out in the text and for repeat citations of the same source. If there is some way of incorporating this feature in the next update of the MLA st…
-
Sorry, I thought I still had that message in drafts when I edited it. Thanks a lot, both to @damnation and @maier.de for the help. This is working perfectly fine.
-
@maier.de Thank you for sharing this. I'm afraid I don't know how to properly use the link you have shared. I tried copy-pasting the code into my style editor and ran this. It's saved under a new name and when I applied it, the citation came out …
-
@bwiernik Thanks for letting me know! Actually if this was only the bibliography entry, I'd just manually fix it in my document and say no more about it. But then, the short title would keep turning up all over my document with double quotes in th…
-
Hi bwiernik! Thanks for the suggestion. I tried changing the listing to book instead of book section with my MLA 8 style and got this citation with the double quotes still around the title: Stoppard, Tom. “Arcadia.” 1993. Plays Five, Faber, 1999, …
-
Hi! Has this bookinbook issue been sorted out? I'm searching through the forums and just landed on this thread. This is needed in the MLA style too and it's a pretty common use-case in literature/language fields. It would be an immensely useful add…
-
Hi adamsmith! Yes, it worked. Thank you so much! I opened a new document and added the references as you suggested and it did a perfect job. I wonder what could have gone wrong with my earlier document. I just transferred the content to another …
-
Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately for me, this feature doesn't seem to be working. I am not sure how to attach a screengrab, but basically my in-text citation reads (Patricia S Churchland; Patricia S Churchland; P. M. Churchland) when the fir…
