Modifying Thesis Citation Format

CSL Usage
1

The journal I want to submit to has the following format:
Stephen Hawking, ‘Properties of Expanding Universes’, unpublished Doctoral thesis (University of Cambridge 1966)

I can’t find any CSL styles that have the words “unpublished Doctoral thesis” outside of the parentheses and I can’t figure out how to change this in a preexisting style. I’m new to CSL styles and tried using the Visual CSL Editor. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @NGordon - not sure this is useful, but I just ran a ripgrep on the styles directory, which may suggest if not the precise style you need, what that part of the code may look like?

Examples:

❯ rg -p "unpublished" 
ayer.csl
123:                <text variable="genre" prefix="unpublished "/>

european-journal-of-theology.csl
