A variant of Chicago 17th Notes & Bibliography full note style with changes to manuscript and letter item types that better match Chicago guidance.
Awesome! You just created a pull request to the Citation Styles Language styles repository. One of our human volunteers will try to get in touch soon (usually within a week). In the meantime, I will run some automated checks. You should be notified of the results in a few minutes. If you haven't done so yet, please make sure your style validates and follows all our other Style Requirements. To update this pull request, visit the "Files changed" tab above, click on the ellipsis button in the top-right corner of your style, and then select "Edit file" to start editing: If you have any questions, please leave a comment and we'll get back to you. While we usually respond in English, feel free to write in whatever language you're most comfortable. |
😃 Your submission passed all our automated tests. Below are some sample citations generated based on your proposed changes: chicago-fullnote-bibliography-manuscript.csl (new)Bob Hancké, Martin Rhodes, and Mark Thatcher, eds., Beyond Varieties of Capitalism: Conflict, Contradiction, and Complementarities in the European Economy (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2007); “CSL Search by Example,” Citation Style Editor, 2012, http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/. |
Thanks! So, two separate issues here:
I haven't gone through all items, but that covers the big picture. |
Thanks for looking at this and for your response. Sorry to take so long to respond! I agree with not creating a separate variant and would love if you were open to making some of the changes in the existing Chicago style (I also saw that Chicago just updated to 18th style, so I understand that any changes you would make would be better to go in the 18th style rather than invest time in changing 17th). However, I also understand if you don’t agree with the approach I took and I recognize that you may not want to adopt all of the changes I proposed. I did want to respond to the points you made, in case I can provide any clarification around why I made the choices I did that would help with deciding whether or not to adopt some of these changes. All Chicago Manual of Style guidance I refer to here is 18th edition. Chicago Manual is consistent in using title case for titles in English I disagree with removing dates. 14.229 includes an example with n.d. -- everything else does include dates place (csl's publisher-place isn't intended for archival information. With CSL 1.0.2 we have a nice set of archival fields that should be used instead (and can be entered in Zotero using Extra) also disagree with requiring 'incorrectly' entering letters. CSL should be capable of doing this properly using author and recipient. No need for a title for letters. |

The specific edits I made are detailed below, with my rationale following each bullet point:

A few notes about how to best use this edited citation style:
Use separate manuscript item and collection records: Create separate Zotero records for each individual manuscript item that you cite from the archival collection, plus another Zotero record for the collection as a whole. Use the individual manuscript item records to create footnote citations. Use the collection record for the bibliography. Note that when you put together the bibliography, you can use the functionality of the Zotero plugin in Word to edit the bibliography: specifically, you can remove the individual manuscript items from the bibliography and add in the collection record.
Additional editing needed for letters that are part of manuscript collections:
Instead of using the “Author”, “Contributor”, and “Recipient” options in Zotero’s creator field, write [sender’s name] to [recipient’s name] in the title field, as you’d like it to appear in the citation.
For shortened subsequent citations, enter the shortened version of the title into the “Short Title” field in Zotero (e.g., Smith to Williams).
