That looks great, tacenae. I'd love to see how it formats as a citation. Could you right-click on the item and choose to Create bibliography, then paste it here? Thanks!
Similar questions on the same topic. I have a copy of my grandmother's birth certificate, ordered directly from the State of Michigan.
Do I use an author? If so, is it "State of Michigan" or "State of Michigan Department of Community Health" or "State of Michigan Department of Community Health Vital Records Division"?
Or should "State of Michigan" or "State of Michigan Department of Community Health Vital Records Division" be the publisher?
Thanks for any help (in advance),
Dorothy
Dorothy, I would use "Michigan Department of Community Health" in the author's last name area. Then put "Vital Records Division, Lansing" in the archive field.
My question is: is there an easy way to prevent Zotero 6.0 from putting quotation marks around the title of a Manuscript or Document when using CMOS?
Emily
First, Dorothy, so sorry I never saw your earlier post, and thanks Emily for responding.
Emily, Zotero has always been willing to fix a citation problem if it violates the established style standards. If someone wants to amend CMOS to do something that the style is not set up to do, they need to create a variation of the style. It takes XML programming skills that I don't have at present. It also is a commitment. Once you've made a copy of the style and edited it, your copied style won't be updated when Zotero updates the original style, so you'd need to copy all changes into perpetuity into your copy.
Is this a problem that appeared when 6.0 was installed or is it an old issue?
Hi, Emily. It's been a while since I did research requiring me to cite manuscripts, so I had to go back to the CMOS rule. Here's what it says about manuscript titles:
In notes and bibliographies, quotation marks are used only for specific titles (e.g., “Canoeing through Northern Minnesota”), but not for generic names such as report or minutes. Generic names of this kind are capitalized if part of a formal heading actually appearing on the manuscript, lowercased if merely descriptive. Compare 14.229, example notes 7–10.
