Hello,
I am looking for a way to insert text via Prefix/Suffix in the middle of a citation.
Example: I would like to quote a judgement from the European Court of Human rights. It should look like this:
A.v. Switzerland, no. 60342/16, § 15, 19. December 2017
Im looking for the possibility to put the “§ 15” before the Date of the Judgement but after the application number. With Edit &Manage citations in word i am only able to put the exact location of the quote (for ex. § 15) at the very end or the very beginning (prefix or suffix).
Is there a way to put it as mentioned before ?
Thank you a lot!
Hello Leanne,
Thank you very much for your help.
Actually I have created a new reference type for ECHR Cases (decisions/judgements of the european court of human rights). And I only use footnotes.
For example:
A.v. Switzerland, no. 60342/16, § 15, 19. December 2017.
In detail:
Case name: A.v. Switzerland
Application no: 60342/16
Decision Date: 19. December 2017
This always remains the same. The only thing that changes is the passage to which I refer (for example § 15).
For example: Telephone tapping falls withing the scope of Art. 8 ECHR (A.v. Switzerland, no. 60342/16, § 15, 19. December 2017). Or: The court explicitly left open the question of XY (then reference to the same judgement but this time reference to § 30 in the judgement for ex.)
Normally i would just use a different citation style and put the § 15 or § 30 or whatever passage I quote at the very end and use the suffix function. Unfortunately I am bound by specific rules of my university regarding that.
Probably I expressed myself too complicated. To put it short: I am looking for the possibility to add a field where I can put in the exact reference to the judgement (for ex. § 30, § 15 or just any sort of text which is variable with a given reference) and is not located at the end or the beginning of the citation (as prefix/suffix)
Thank you so much leanne!
It worked absolutely perfect the way you described it.
I used a template from a professor at my university to start with (though he uses a different citation style than I currently have to use for my paper). So I don’t know what style he started with.
