OSCOLA on Zotero

The library, as detailed elsewhere, promotes the use of Zotero to manage your bibliographies. It's free and it lives in your Firefox browser, though a stand alone version will be released shortly. Anyway, one thing that Zotero can do is format your bibliographies in a number of different citation styles. Recently added to the list of styles available is the Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities or OSCOLA as it is better known. If are you are using Zotero and want OSCOLA formatted citations, you will need to install something, but the process is quite simple. In Zotero, click on the 'Actions' cogwheel and select Preferences. Click the 'Cite' icon and select the 'Styles' tab. Click on the 'Get Additional Styles' link. This will open a new browser window with a list of available styles. Scroll down to OSCOLA or enter OSCOLA in the style search box and click on 'Install'. Click 'Install' again and ...that's it. You can now select OSCOLA from the citation style list that appears when you choose to 'Create Bibliography'. Simples!
