Proper bibliographic format

Date: Thu, 22 Feb 1996 11:45:31 -0500 Reply-To: PRO-CITE The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List Sender: PRO-CITE The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List From: James Schaaf Subject: Proper bibliographic format In-Reply-To: I can't seem to find a format on ProCite 3.1 for Windows that prints my bibliography the way I want it. Can somone suggest what I should do? Do I need to define a special format for myself? The indexmed form seems to come the closest. But I want to print the title in italics and use the Chicago style for the publication facts, e.g., Chicago; University of Chicago Press, 1996. All the data are in the proper fields, but I can't get it to print out correctly. Neither the Turabian style nor the Chicago style seems to produce a bibliography that corresponds to Turabian or to the Chicago Manual style. I must be doing something wrong. Can anybody help?

You will need to modify the output style. See Chapter 19, "Creating or Modifying Output Styles" of the Reference Manual. This was just published in the last few months. If you do not have it, contact PBS to have them send you a copy. George H.

I've never thought the Procite interpretation of Chicago Manual of Style agreed with mine, either. Make a copy of it and modify it to suit your needs. It may take awhile to learn the tricks, but you'll get what you want that way.
