Mistake in Chicago Manual of Style 17th footnote output (Thesis)

edited March 24, 2022
I am currently using Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (Full note) as my citation style and I have spotted a mistake in the output for thesis/dissertations.

According to the 17th edition Chicago Manual of Style (notes and bibliography), the footnote should look something like this:

Matthew D.Blackmar, "Wagner Domesticated, Wagner Democratized: The Parlor Reception of Musikdrama" (M.A.Thesis, California State University, 2012), 34.

Note especially the the inclusion of institution but NO location.However, when I generate a footnote for a dissertation, the location is not omitted:

Matthew D.Blackmar, "Wagner Domesticated, Wagner Democratized: The Parlor Reception of Musikdrama" (M.A.Thesis, Long Beach, California, California State, 2012), 34.

For what it is worth, the bibliography already omits the location - only the footnote output needs fixing.188BET靠谱吗It's not the end of the world, as I can easily just delete the "place" field in Zotero, but it would nice to be able to leave it in case I ever use a style that requires location information.
  • Using Chicago full note 17 I get:

    note:
    Stephen Hawking, "Properties of Expanding Universes" (Doctoral thesis, University of Cambridge, 1966), https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.11283.


    bibliography:
    Hawking, Stephen."Properties of Expanding Universes." Doctoral thesis, University of Cambridge, 1966. https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.11283.

    Are you sure that "Long Beach, CA" is not included wrongly in your metadata and that you use Chicago 17?Switching to a different style and back or trying in a new document is also something you can try.

    100% sure - this is happening for all the dissertations I'm citing, and I've double checked my meta data.I even tried reinstalling the styles - 17th edition, both full note and full note with subsequent short.

    In your case, what happens if you put something in the "place" field?Does it not appear in the note?

  • You didn't say if you tried my other 2 suggestions.
  • Sorry, yes, I have tried multiple fresh, more or less empty documents (I write in scrivener so word is my last stop), switching between a handful of styles.
  • I can reproduce this, thanks!we'll take a look.
  • Hi there, I just wanted to check and see if you've had a chance to take a look at this?It doesn't like it has been addressed yet.
