Notes about the style

Does this citation style include the ibid. functionality, as well as short references for subsequent citations?
Yes. The guidelines specify both "ibid." for directly consecutive citations and short citations in the form 'Author, short title, (Stellenangabe)". Beides macht dieser Zitierstil automatisch für dich.

"vgl." is missing?
This can be added in Zotero using the prefix field. To do this, click on the citation in Word and a field will appear to enter the prefix and suffix, as well as the exact page number. See the following guide here.

The line spacing between entries in the bibliography is not correct?
The guidelines provide for single line spacing between entries.
The spacing between entries as well as the indentation at the beginning is already set by style, but can also be set/changed in the Word style sheet ‘Bibliography’ >> Paragraph.

Found an error?
With complex styles such as this, it can easily lead to discrepancies in special cases. Please consult the citation guidelines first and use a working example to check whether the data is entered correctly in Zotero. If it still looks like the style itself has an error, please write to me via info@citationstyler.com.

FAQs


Is the payment secure?

Yes, payment is processed via Stripe, one of the largest payment providers.

How fast is the style delivered?

Immediately! Once you have made the correct payment, you can download the file(s) directly from the order confirmation page and get started. You will also receive an email with the download link.

How can I apply for a refund?

Since my citation styles are digital products and I therefore have no way of "taking back" the product, returns are NOT possible.

How can I install the provided .csl style in Zotero?

Option 1: Double click on the file. Zotero should automatically recognise and install the .csl file.

Option 2:In Zotero, go to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Cite" > "Styles". Click on the "+" and select the .csl file.


For other programs, please consult the documentation of the respective provider.

I'm not sure if this is the right style.

You can write to me at any time and I will be happy to check your guidelines. The best way to do this is to use the Your Custom Citation Style form, as I will then have all the information immediately to hand.


Do the styles work with Citavi or EndNote?

No. CSL is supported by a number of programmes such as Zotero, Mendeley, Papers etc., but both Citavi and EndNote have their own systems and my CSL styles are not comptabile.

(Please pay attention to this, as a return is not possible.)


Where can I get support?

If you have a problem with the correct data entry or find an error, simply use the contact form or send a short email with the name of the style and date of purchase to info@citationstyler.com .

I cannot provide support for the correct use of an individual citation software. Please contact the manufacturer of the reference programme.
