Background
I am writing a Turabian-styled thesis and use the biblatex-chicago package for my citations and bibliography generation. Citations are all footnotes, but unclassified sources are cited in Chicago style and classified sources have to follow ICD 206 D.3.a.(6).(a)-(i) for Source Reference Citation (SRC). This means there are extra fields and the order is different between unclassified and classified citations.
Source Reference Citation (SRC) Order:
- Portion Marking that presents the classification of the SRC; I.E. (U) or (S)
- Identification of the information originator (author, producer, owner, publishing office)
- Unambiguous source identifier or document number
- Portion marked classification of the document title
- Document title, with volume and issue number, if applicable
- Date of publication or access
- Page number, if applicable
- Classification of the information extracted from the source
- Overall classification of the source document
- Source descriptor portion marking, if applicable
- Source descriptor statement, if applicable
How I Think It Works
I can think of three ways to accomplish this.
Use one of the other
@categoriesand put the information in the wrong sections just to get the order correct in the citation.Use a keyword in the
.bibentry that cues biblatex to order entry differently.Create a new entry type called
@srcthat has the categories I need and orders them properly.
Option 1 would just be using @misc and the notes field to input my own long string.
refs.bib
@misc{sourceReference1,
author = {{(U) Smith, John}},
notes = {{12345678; (U) The Title...; 17 March 2022; Unclassified; Super Secret}},
}
@article{chicagoReference1,
title = {Has the ODNI Improved US Intelligence Analysis?},
author = {Gentry, John A},
year = {2015},
publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}
}
This would come close, producing something like:
(U) Smith, John. 12345678; (U) The Title...; 17 March 2022; Unclassified; Super Secret
John A. Gentry, "Has the ODNI Improved US Intelligence Analysis?" (Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Ideally, option 3 would be cleanest if it is possible. For example:
refs.bib:
@src{sourceReference1,
src_class = {U}, % Classification of the entire SRC
originator = {Smith, John}, % Originator, author, producer, owner, etc
identifier = {12345678}, % Unambiguous source identifier
title_class = {U}, % Classification of the title
title = {The Title...}, % Title of the document
date = {2022-03-17}, % Date of publication
page = {}, % Page number, if applicable
info_class = {Unclassified}, % Classification of the information extracted
doc_class = {Super Secret}, % Classification of the source document
descriptor = {}, % Source descriptor, if applicable
keywords = {classified} % To separate out in the bibliography
}
@article{chicagoReference1,
title = {Has the ODNI Improved US Intelligence Analysis?},
author = {Gentry, John A},
year = {2015},
publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}
}
master.tex:
\documentclass{turabian-researchpaper}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[pass,letterpaper]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{refs.bib}
\begin{document}
This is a test.
\footcite{SourceReference1}. %This won't work because a @SRC is made up right now
This is also a test.
\footcite{chicagoReference1}
\clearpage
\printbibliography
\end{document}
This should produce two footnotes:
(U) Smith, John; 12345678; (U) The Title...; 17 March 2022; Unclassified; Super Secret
John A. Gentry, "Has the ODNI Improved US Intelligence Analysis?" (Taylor & Francis, 2015)
The first footnote would be in a different order than the other one, because the other one is the standard biblatex-chicago style. To make things easier, I put the "@src" information in order in the .bib file. In the actual bibliography I would separate them using keywords, I know how to do that separately.
Any ideas of how or if possible to accomplish this?
Thank you!
biblatex. Problem is that it is going to be a bit more tricky to integrate this intobiblatex-chicagothan it is to integrate a new type into a standard style.{biblatex-chicago}the compile fails due toNo driver for 'stackexchange' found. It works in[style=chicago-authordate]{biblatex}, but recreating all the style modifications from{biblatex-chicago}would be a lot of work. I just need to find a way to add the@stackexchangefrom the example tobiblatex-chicagoand I should be good.biblatex-chicagoit is not enough to define a driver for the new type with\DeclareBibliographyDriver{<new type>}, you also need to define a new driver for full citations called\DeclareBibliographyDriver{cite:<new type>}. (You will likely have to do a lot more, but at least for me adding the driver made the error go away.)\DeclareBibliographyDriver{cite:stackexchange}removed the error, and added the citation to my Bibliography without error, but the footnote citation is blank. Progress!
