Support APA Legal citation types #8931
Comments
I am happy to tell you what you imagine may not be the default view of JabRef, but most of it can already be achieved with a customized configuration of current JabRef (v. 5.6)!
2. What is lacking:

Another easy workaround would be to put

I've done some of that on my end yeah. I also did some googling to figure out how to use those particular entry types, along with that they even exist. Not disputing that the customization can be done; just pointing out this is common enough (in certain fields) and directly supported by APA style that many users would benefit from just having those few additional types there same as the other entry types. Covering absolutely everything might be untenable, but covering what's acknowledged in the biblatex manual and what's supported by APA (used in law schools and legal journals) seems at least prudent. The custom editor tabs thing is probably a bug. |
We added support for the biblatex-sotware package, so I think it should be okay to add some legal stuff as well |
Biblatex mentions typical non-standard types which are, however, supported by certain styles.
So should be fine to add them: For reference: ADR for biblatex software |
@jrmoserbaltimore We added the new entry types with their corresponding fields, you can try it out in the latest development version https://builds.jabref.org/main/ |
Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
The BibLaTeX manual gives a number of "unsupported" styles of specific names, recognized but treated as
@misc
. Certain styles, particularly biblatex-apa, support these. In particular, the legal styles such asjurisdiction
(court cases),legislation
, etc.Of particular note is the style example for jurisdiction provided by biblatex-apa:
These include annotation fields,
CITATION+an:...
Describe the solution you'd like
Inclusion of style types for these such styles BibLaTeX treats as
@misc
, complete with the additional annotations, preferably under theAnnotation
tab.It would be a larger change to also include automatic citation, for example
Legislation
based on State and code reference or bill references, or Court cases based on jurisdiction and case number, etc., as this would entail pulling information from many, many sources, all with different presentation. The scope of this issue is merely providing the style type for selection by the user, who will fill in the details on their own, and excludes any such automated reference generation.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
