I would like to request a new citation style for the above journal.

The closest existing style is for the journal Wetlands:
http://www.zotero.org/styles/wetlands/dev

Changes to existing style:

In-text
-For more than three authors use et al. with et al. italicized
-Comma after name, semicolon between multiple citations (Smith, 2000; Jones, 2003; Douglas et al., 2009)
- Citations are ordered by publication year, earliest to latest as above with same years then alphabetical by Author last name

Literature Cited section
- add periods for author initials
- include all authors
- second and sequential authors are initials first then last name
- Before last author put "and" (no quotes)
Instead of parenthesis:
- Add comma after last author
- Add period after year
- Journal Title Has First Letter Capitalized
- Italicize journal name
- No space after volume semicolon
- Add DOI if available
See example below: [exception being journal title is italicized]

Here is their guideline link:

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Adamsmith.

I too checked a couple of articles before requesting, and even within an article they were inconsistent. So I just went with their guide....which is different than their most recent issue. I think this particular journal needs to work on consistency.

I see two small things:
#1 - In Lit Cited please add a comma after last name
Now: Smith T.J., 1989 blah blah
Need: Smith, T.J., 1989.......

#2 - Is there a way to have Zotero capitalize each word in the article title?
e.g From: Interactions between groundwater and surface water
To: Interactions Between Groundwater and Surface Water?

The first is most important.
Too bad about the 'et al.' italics thing. I will go through and fix that manually.

Otherwise I see no other immediate discrepancies.

Thank you for your time !

OK, I have all that, please try again from the link above.
I noticed they were inconsistent, but also highly amusing - almost looks like they were drunk while making the citation guide (all their examples being about whiskey...) - which is especially amusing for a water journal...

For et al. in italics- this will be included in Zotero 2.1, but until then do note that both word and open office allow you to include formatting in their search&replace -
i.e. you can simply search for et al. and replace it with et al. in italics.

the JAWRA style is now in the repository - please report any problems here
