Hi, I’m using TW as a customized mini CMS for writing research proposals (and it has been pretty great, as usual). But I have been unable to get the proper citation when using the APA style. Something similar has been reported previously and there are some old discussions, but still the solution is not applied yet in RefNotes.
I would expect that for the following entry:
@misc{leinonen-software-2008,
title = {Software as Hypothesis: Research-Based Design Methodology},
shorttitle = {leinonen-2008},
url = {http://www.slideshare.net/teemul/software-as-hypothesis-researchbased-design-methodology-presentation},
urldate = {2015-07-29},
author = {Leinonen, Teemu},
year = {2008},
}
after imported in TW and referenced with As said by <<ref leinonen_software_2008>>
you should get something rendered in APA like: As said by Leinonen, T (2008)
and instead you get As said by Leinonen, Teemu (2008)
.
Given that the <<refAPA>>
macro referenced in the previous discussion link doesn’t work and on the discussions on Refnote development there is indications of support for different styles (but they’re not showcased in the tutorial), I wonder if there is something I’m missed regarding APA support or some new developments that already support it. For now I will just chop the given name to keep the intended style consistent, but I would like to teach TW to my fellow researchers, so despite not being an urgent question, I think is important to put citations styles support again into the radar.
On a related matter, as a previous user of Pandoc I miss the citation syntax that let you put also page information and make it appear on your text with more flexibility:
A minus sign (
-
) before the@
will suppress mention of the author in the citation. This can be useful when the author is already mentioned in the text:
Smith says blah [-@smith04].
You can also write an author-in-text citation, by omitting the square brackets:
@smith04 says blah.
@smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
This will cause the author’s name to be rendered, followed by the bibliographical details. Use this form when you want to make the citation the subject of a sentence.
So, I wonder if would be possible to write something like As Leinonen says (<<ref- leinonen-software-2008>>, p31)
and to get rendered something As Leinonen says (2008, p31)
and 2008
would be a link to the complete preview tooltip, pointing to the same place where <<ref- leinonen-software-2008>>
does.
Thanks,
