biblatex-oxref – BibLaTeX styles inspired by the Oxford Guide to Style

This bundle provides four BibLaTeX styles that implement (many of) the stipulations and examples provided by the 2014 New Hart’s Rules and the 2002 Oxford Guide to Style:

oxnotes is a style similar to the standard verbose, intended for use with footnotes;
oxnum is a style similar to the standard numeric, intended for use with numeric in-text citations;
oxalph is a style similar to the standard alphabetic, intended for use with alphabetic in-text citations;
oxyear is a style similar to the standard author-year, intended for use with parenthetical in-text citations.

The bundle provides support for a wide variety of content types, including manuscripts, audiovisual resources, social media and legal references.
