It would be great could say we support more of these.

First, I'm uneasy with placing so much emphasis on a single field. There are still missing "base" styles (Turabian comes to mind, as well as the two Bluebook styles) that we need before worrying about obscure discipline-specific journals.

Second, Codec has been doing some fantastic work drastically expanding the number of available styles, and I hope he'll continue to do that. But I also think it'd be "nice" if he got some more help, either from people that work with Zotero, or from tech-savvy people on this board.

Think of it: in the space of a couple of weeks, one person managed to expand the number of styles by 50 or so. What would happen if 10 people contributed even half that number? How long until we, say, matched Endnote?

BTW, I'm taking care of Bluebook. I expect to have something worth testing along with the 1.02 release.

We are obviously deeply indebted to Codec, and he need not do these styles if he is feeling overworked, unaccompanied, or underappreciated (though we have expressed our great appreciation through several channels, and let me say it again: Thanks so much, Codec!). We do intend to put others from the Zotero team on CSL building after we finish up some of the server tasks, but would of course appreciate help from others outside the team. I think Trevor's intention was just to add some history/humanities journals to the mix that are not straight copies of Chicago (and that could help balance out the recently added science styles). (And yes, we are the Center for History and New Media and are thus showing our bias.)

Allow me to remind Dan, Elena, and Bruce that this forum thread is not the best place to have this particular discussion. Before we move back to our regularly scheduled programming of fielding Zotero users' CSL requests, I will take the opportunity to remind Bruce that Zotero is fully unicode compliant and can store data for any of its fields in any language. Please feel free to continue this discussion on the dev list.

American Chemical Society see: http://pubs.acs.org/books/references.shtml - Done

Also, Angew. Chem.: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/26737/home/2002_authors.html - call me dense, but I can't find a reference format description in there. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place!

Also done Centarus and Historical Journal.

About the American Chemical Society
it groups dozens of journals with different styles.
http://pubs.acs.org/about.html

For each journal there is an author guideline PDF file that resumes the way to deal with the style; for instance with Langmuir
http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/langd5/langd5_authguide.pdf

I was trying to find something authorative for Phys Rev stuff. Does this look correct?
http://authors.aps.org/STYLE/ms.html#footnotes
It seems most use a common style, with the B journal being slightly different. Is that correct?

There is an AGU style now available if you'd like to try it out.

I would like to see Linguistic Society of America (LSA) Style Sheet.
Thanks!

Thanks for the AGU style!!

Some formatting differences I noted:

1. The author's names should be italicized in the in-text citation, and "et al." should be "et al.," and also italicized.

2. All of the authors in the bibliography should be listed, rather than an "et al" after the second author.

The Environmental Microbiology Journal style that I'm hoping for is almost identical to the style used in Cell.

Thanks for making all of these styles. This project is great, and I'm telling everyone I know about Zotero!!

About the ACS style

In the bibliography part, when using the abbreviated name of the Journal, there are two points between the journal name and the year.
One has to be removed.

All the best

Codec--I think cite.js is supposed to account for that (see line 2776). It's odd that it doesn't work in this case.

I've just noticed in the ACS style that a word wrap happened in the biblio between each reference.
It looks like:
(1) ------

(2) ------

and it should be with a double space line in the paragraph format not a word wrap
(1) ----
(2) -----

BTW thanks for the style Codec

Still in the ACS style :) ... and certainly in others ...
For multiple references, sometimes it is perfect and formatted as follows:
----- (4-7)
and sometimes it is like:
---- (9,8,7,10)

I've changed the order in the multiple reference selection but it hasn't done the trick.

I hope it helps to give you some feedbacks and doesn't bother you?

somebody, journal of neurosurgery? :(

Hi,

i desperately need this style in the footnote, that has for single, multi and in the library the following same format. Could please someone create such a style? i need it really strongly. u would be very grateful.

Authors last name, authors first name (year), Booktitel. Location: publisher.

example:

Müller, Peter (2004), Handbuch der Betriebswirtschaftslehre. Hamburg: UVK.

hi bdarcus,

sorry i don't know the name of thsi citation style. could you please create it in spite?

Neurosurgery Journal is now available in the styles.

Hi, the style i need is mentionend in this famous book for science methods.

http://www.amazon.de/Wissenschaftliche-Arbeiten-Wolfram-E-Rossig/

They name it the Autor-Jahr-Style

last name, first name (year): title, location

Among the author, title style they write, these two are the most traditional and most spread styles.

and I need this style for the footnote for my thesis.

Ah, ok. I try these styles. Do they work for the footnote. thats the most important.

mcitations: when is your thesis due?

The problem is you're not spending the time we need you to spend to find the information we need to help you.

As I say farther above, we all are doing this for free, and we're all busy doing our own theses, or books, or article manuscripts, so it's kind of rude to be essentially saying "I need help" but then not giving us the information we need to help you.

For example, sending us a link to an Amazon page is NOT helpful AT ALL. Do you expect that any of us have the time to track down that book and to then research the information? We don't.

You tell us it's for a thesis, but then why don't you tell us for which institution, and give us a link to the page at that institution that tells you what style to use?

Finally, you say they call it an "Autor-Jahr-Style" (author-year) style, but then say it should be rendered as a footnote. Are you SURE? Because author-year (or author-date) styles are in fact rendered in\-text. Also, that's a generic description of a class of style; not a style name.

Firstly, there is a list of Endnote styles for specific journals at http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp. Would it be possible to import those styles into Zotero? If this is not an option (copyright or some other reason),

It's technically possible, but potentially legally problematic.

Also, there's a larger strategic issue of whether it's a good idea to encourage reliance on existing proprietary styles, or to encourage the expansion of CSL styles (which are totally open, and implementable by any project). I see a danger in the former approach myself.

would it be possible to create and customize a new citation style in Zotero? And then mail it in as a contribution? I figure if this could be a community effort we could all help each other.

Yes, absolutely! This is in fact the intention behind CSL; that all styles are hosted on the internet and freely available for anyone to use. See http://www.zotero.org/styles and http://dev.zotero.org/csl_syntax_summary if you'd like to help. I (the author of the style language) consider the APA style in the dev section of the repository to be a good model of how to design styles.

drrayl--please update the Oxford Art style at http://www.zotero.org/styles/ -- the problem should be fixed.

okay, please update again.

Similar problem with Art History Journal style.

I have just discovered that this style also uses the short title in the first citation of a source.

@bdarcus:

i have only 10 days than is my thesis due. i am willing to spend the time, but the thesis is very urgent and timekilling. the problem is there is no link at this institution i could give you to check it. the profs gave us the styles, they're not written down in any linkable doc.

Right, it's a (author-year) style and i need it in the footnote. isn't it possible to take it quickly from another style? and then just turn on the option in the footnote? Please i need it. if i would know how to make those style i would do it on my own. but the thesis takes my time.
