    It's great that you're asking for suggestions for new citation formats, but could you fix one of the widely used formats that is already out?
    The Nature citation style doesn't work with Word. It creates blank footnotes. Though it will produce a bibliography, it leaves footnote numbers at the bottom of each page without citations next to them.
    Sorry if this is the wrong place for this comment.

    Association of American Geographers ( AAG ) style http://aag.org/Publications/Annals/annalsweb3.html. It's based on Chicago Manual of Style ( CMS ). I would guess it shouldn't be too difficult to modify the CMS style to create the AAG style. If anyone can point the way to getting started, I'll give it a try.

    I have some 20,000 citations in Papyrus. It was initially orphaned by its developer and then, if effect, by Apple (it operates only in OS 9). It would be great if Zotero developed an import format for Papyrus.

    I don't know what your comment has to do about citation formats, but some googling shows that there are RIS exporters for papyrus. Others have used them to migrate to Endnote/Reference Manager. You'd probably be able to use them to migrate to Zotero.

    Dear noksagt,
    For "citations" please read references, entries, whatever. What I really mean to say is, I've got a major problem and am seeking help with export/import formats. Thanks for your response.
    I am very intrigued when you tell me that others have used RIS exporters to migrate from Papyrus to Endnote and that this might be a way for me to migrate to Zotero. Can you send me to some source (online, printed, human) from which I can get guidance and direction? I checked on the web and haven't found what you did.

    The large majority of my citations are non-English. I don't need that you include the Annales des télécommunications, or some other speciality journal like many listed in the thread, in Zotero's list of styles but that
    - Non-Ascii characters are included in styles & export and that they "behave well"
    - you concentrate work on a style wizard so that the user can create what he or she needs.

    If you want to touch the majority of Internet's non-english users both steps are imperative. If not, Zotero is just limited to the English-speaking world.

    American Medical Association (AMA) style (http://www.amazon.com/American-Medical-Association-Manual-Style/dp/0683402064) is the basis of citation styles used by many healthcare and medical publishers. Medical writers use this frequently, and I would appreciate having this style available. Thank you.

    ftr: while there may be some bugs in Zotero's implementation WRT to unicode handling (am not sure), note that the style language is designed to be international-friendly. For example, styles are not supposed to include any localized text. Rather, there are a set of pre-defined terms, which can be localized.

    If, then, you'd like to help with localization, please feel free. We don't yet have a French localization for example, and I'd be happy to add one. See this example.

    I'm a believer in standardizing the mess that is citation formatting, so seeing the CSE styles supported would be great, particularly the name-year system. I haven't seen the new guide, but a lucid enough description of both the numbered and the name-year, along with a guide to the reference list, appears here:

    http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c11_o.html

    Water Research:
    http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/309/authorinstructions?navopenmenu=4

    The basic format is like this:

    Li and Gregory (2006) -The date of publication in parentheses after the authors' names.References must be listed together at the end of each paper and must not be given as footnotes. For other than review papers authors should aim to give no more than 20-30 recent, relevant references. They must be listed alphabetically starting with the surname of the first author, ( year ) followed by the title of the referenced paper and the full name of the periodical, as follows:

    Li, G. and Gregory, J. (2006) Flocculation and sedimentation of high-turbidity waters. Water Research 25(9), 1137-1143.

    More details:
    ---------------
    It is particularly requested that (i) authors' initials, (ii) the title of the paper, and (iii) the volume, part number and first and last page numbers are given for each reference.

    References to books, reports and theses must be cited in the narrative. They must include the author(s), date of publication, title of book, editor(s) name(s) if applicable, page numbers, name of publisher, and place of publication. The abbreviation et al. may be used in the text. However, the names of all authors must be given in the list of references.Personal communications and other unpublished works must be included in the reference list, giving full contact details (name and address of communicator).

    Personal communications must be cited in the text as, for example, Champney (2006).

    AND FINALLY
    The list at the end of document should be ordered alphabetically.

    Many thanks for your time and effort!

    References
    Include not more than 25 references. Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first cited in the text, using Arabic numerals in square brackets, e.g. [17]. Include the names of all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first six names and add et al. References should also include full title and source information. Abbreviate journal names as in the Index Medicus (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lsiou.html).

    Do not include personal communications and unpublished work in the reference list; cite them in parentheses in the text, with the permission of their author(s). Include unpublished work accepted for publication but not yet released in the reference list with the words ‘in press’ in parentheses beside the name of the journal concerned. Verify all references against the original documents.

    I strongly vote for ISO 690:1978 and ISO 690-2 - which is an extension covering electronic sources. These are in fact major standards used at European universities and the only and mandatory citation styles in many EU member states.

    I agree that guidelines at collectionscanada are a bit hard to read but examples at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/iso/tc46sc9/standard/690-2ex.htm are pretty easy to understand.

    Any Library and Information Sc. department at EU University (including ours) could be at your service when it comes to testing and development of this export style. I'll be happy to assist you, don't hesitate to contact me directly. Sorry for not posting links and guides, but our pre-compiled versions are at this moment not in English, will look into it deeper if needed. Let me know.

    One last note - ISO comes in two "flavors" - as a numeric reference and a reference according to the first element and date. Both are created equal and should be covered in ISO690 aware application as two separate styles.

    The next post was from bdarcus who is the author of CSL and happens to be a geographer. He said he would create the style. If he's already done it I'm sure it would be much better than what I could do. I'd like to find out if he has done it before putting too much more work into it myself.
