Hi
I decided to develop a simple CSL processor to convert Zotero json strings to
APA citations. The code will be used in ZotPad and after the processor works, I
will publish the code as a separate project in gihub.
I am using json strings from Zotero server as data and validating the output
against formatted citations from Zotero server. The citations are formatted
using the APA style from
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/apa.csl using the
CSL 1.0.1 specification.
I am using the following bibliography item as my test data
Cadogan, J. W., & Lee, N. (Forthcoming). Improper Use of Endogenous Formative
Variables. <i>Journal of Business Research</i>.
There is one thing that I do not understand. In the APA style (lines 429-434)
there is a group
<group delimiter=". ">
<text macro="author"/>
<text macro="issued"/>
<text macro="title" prefix=" "/>
<text macro="container"/>
</group>
The macro "author" has a names element with initialize-with=". " and the macro
"issued" contains a group with prefix " (". Now to my understanding, this means
that
- The "author" macro will end with ". " [Cadogan, J. W., & Lee, N.]
- The "issued" macro will start with " (" [ (Forthcoming)]
- The macros are delimited with ". "
This results in a bibliographic item that starts by
Cadogan, J. W., & Lee, N.. (Forthcoming).
This is obviously not correct. There should not be a double period followed by
a double space, but I do not understand which part of the formatting logic is
incorrect.
