Hi aprtll,
Thank you very much for your questions.
You can use the
Citation Style Editor to modify your existing style (or create new styles).
- Press Shift+F11. Or, on the Citation menu, click Citation style > Edit citation style.
- Choose your style and click Edit.
- If it is an included style, you cannot edit it directly. Therefore, Citavi creates a copy of the style. Enter a name for this copy.
- Begin making your changes.
There, under
File >
Citation Style Properties >
Bibliography >
Sorting >
Programmed (for experts) >
Customize you can insert scripts with a special sorting method, including some that exclude certain reference types from the bibliography.
To exclude certain reference types from the bibliography, insert the script you can find
here.
Double click on the field
EDIT Sections for each Reference Type (starts in code line 22). Here you can specify for each type of document, whether those titles should appear in the bibliography and eventually should be grouped together.
Use the following numbers to change the appearence of the document type:
-1 should not appear in the bibliography
0 is to be filed at the start (or end)
1 is to be sorted into the first group
2 is to be sorted into the second group
3 is to be sorted into the third group
Click
Compile and then choose
Save. After that, confirm with
Ok and
save the modified citation style.
Note: These sorting methods adjusted within your citation style are not applied if you create a project bibliography by clicking
File >
Print or save project bibliography. Instead, the references will use the sort order you defined in Citavi.
If you just want to exclude some references from the bibliography, you can achieve this even without editing the citation style. Insert the references in Word using the command
Insert advanced >
Bibliography entry: Do not add to bibliography. You can assign this option even subsequently, if you choose this option in Citavis Word Add-In within the
Citations tab.
To refer to date ranges within newspapers I would see two options:
a) If the date range for a newspaper within a Citavi project remains the same, you could simply change the name of the newspaper (e.g., "New York Times, 1890-1912"). To modify an existing newspaper name, go to
Lists >
Periodicals and double click the entry you want to edit.
b) If you would like to cite more than one date range for a newspaper, you could use a
custom field. You will have to
add the used custom field component (e.g., "Custom field 1") within your citation style to the
Newspaper Article template in the
Bibliography rule set.Kind regards,
Susanne
