This seems like a rudimentary question but I haven't been able to find a clear answer. The cultural context in question is American English.
When putting citations in footnotes in biblatex (I'm using biblatex-chicago
), the rule I've been following is to put the citation commands where they would go if the citation were parenthetical: after the end quote and before the final punctuation mark. The end result, however, has the punctuation mark after the quote, e.g. "this is my quote".1
The correct punctuation should be "this is my quote."1
How can this be accomplished automatically?
Here is an example document:
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage[]{setspace}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[]{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber,bibencoding=utf8]{biblatex}
\usepackage[]{hyperref}
\bibliography{mybib}
\begin{document} ``This is a quote''\autocite[1]{mysource}.
\end{document}
