Feature Request - Other Citation Styles #3

Any chance that you will be implementing any other citation styles, e.g. Chicago, or Harvard?

Hi @irvinhomem,

I am sorry to inform you that I have no plans to implement any other citation style in the near future unless it is rather simple. I am currently very busy with my thesis and have no time for major changes to the code.

I had a look at the two citation styles you have mentioned, Chicago and Harvard, and they require much effort to be implemented. They are "similar" to APA which took me a few weeks to include; and still not FULLY supported. I am not expert in either Visual Basic for Applications nor Mendeley, it is not easy for me to implement a new citation style. The only advantage I have is that I already know my own code.

Perhaps you could try to add support for those citation styles? My code has comments to make it easy to follow. Most of the hard work is done too.

Cheers Luis
