Here you can ACQUIRE the citation style for the Birmingham City University - Harvard.

Ideal for your thesis and end-of-year report. Simply utilise Zotero in conjunction with this citation style and writing your thesis will be so much easier. This style also works with Mendeley, Papers and many more (see here).

Why should you buy this style?

The CSL/Zotero team writes citation styles, for free, for journals and large publishing houses. Programming and making available so-called "house styles", however, is not possible due to the sheer amount of such styles. This is where I come in. I have written hundreds of styles and made them available to the scientific community. Styles like for the UWA nonetheless need a lot of hours to make and specialist knowledge.

if you buy this style, you show me that
  • you value my time and work
  • you don't infringe my copyrights.
how to install this style in Zotero? (for other software please contact the developer)
Option 1: Double-click the style. If Zotero is installed it should automatically pick the style up and install it.
Option 2: In Zotero click on "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Cite" > "Styles". There click on the "+" and select the .csl file on your computer.

Found a mistake?
It can always be that there will be some small issues, especially for lesser-used item types. In this case, you can always write to me and we clarify anything. Please provide an example and the example from the guidelines. obrienpat86@gmail.com.
