MLA 8th Edition should abbreviate "University" to "U" and "University Press" to "UP" #2700
Comments
sorry, CSL isn't able to provide that level of abbreviation handling. There may be plugins for individual reference managers (e.g. abbreviation filter for Zotero) that can help here, but we're not going to address this any time soon. |
We could change I don't think CSL styles themselves should attempt to offer automatic abbreviation, and it's unlikely we'll ever add support for this. (if you only ever use MLA, you can of course just store the abbreviated publisher names in the standard publisher field of your reference manager) @adam3smith, by the way, do you what's up with our current set of MLA styles? Normally we would shift "modern-language-association.csl" to the latest 8th edition and keep the old style as "modern-language-association-7th-edition.csl", right? Currently we have a style named "modern-language-association-8th-edition.csl", and "modern-language-association.csl" is still 7th edition. |
Yes, I did that on purpose to ease in the transition and to make sure MLA 8 got a bit of testing before we ship it as the default style. |
