Journal of the American Dietetic Association (JADA):

It is exactly the same as the American Medical Association (AMA) citation, only that in the reference list/bibliography you don't use "et al." Instead, you cite every author by last name and first initial.

I wonder whether you intend to include in your program the citation format from the Association française de normalization (AFNOR). This is the one most scholars in Social Sciences use here in France. You may like to take a look to the way it has been included into the Refworks platform:

1) Book, Section
Bibliography: VAUGHAN, Samuel. Observations concerning the cultivation of Coffee in St. Domingo, and its probable increase in Jamaica, if the Slave trade shall not be abolished by act of Parliament. In EDWARDS, Bryan. . Philadelphie: James Humphreys, 1806. Vol. 3
In-Text Citation: (VAUGHAN, S. 1806.)
Notes: VAUGHAN, S. Observations concerning the cultivation of Coffee in St. Domingo, and its probable increase in Jamaica, if the Slave trade shall not be abolished by act of Parliament. In The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies. 1806.

2) Book, Whole

Merci!

There are thousands of different styles, and even though they may all be based on a few key styles, they are all slightly different. Which is why this discussion is so long.

An EndNote style (.ens file) import function as proposed by someone early on in this discussion might be hard to develop, but would make a huge difference! I would migrate to zotero straight away if this was available. And in the long run it would safe a lot of time for the developers, too.

I started using zotero several months ago. It is much more handy than endnote. However, the American Physical Society reference citation style is not included which is really a pity. APS citation styles is adopted by the most highly cited physics journals( Phys. Rev. Lett, and the all the Phys. Rev. A-E series and the Rev. of Mod. Phys.). I hope zotero can include its style.

This is true, but should be a temporary state of affairs. See earlier thread.

One prerequisite we need to do the web interface I have in mind is to ensure we have all the base styles (upon which all the minor variations you note are based) covered well, and that the styles have the appropriate metadata such that they can be associated with the proper fields (biology, history, etc.).

An EndNote style (.ens file) import function as proposed by someone early on in this discussion might be hard to develop, but would make a huge difference! I would migrate to zotero straight away if this was available. And in the long run it would safe a lot of time for the developers, too.

It turns out not to be that hard technically. But there are some potentially thorny legal and strategic issues behind relying on what some might consider the property of a company that may see it has a lot to lose from Zotero.

JAMA :

"References. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references and for correct text citation. Number references in the order they appear in the text; do not alphabetize. In text, tables, and legends, identify references with superscript Arabic numerals. When listing references, follow AMA style3(pp39-79) and abbreviate names of journals according to the journals list in PubMed. List all authors and/or editors up to 6; if more than 6, list the first 3 followed by “et al.” Note: Journal references should include the issue number in parentheses after the volume number.

Examples of reference style:

1. Morrow DA, Scirica BM, Karwatowska-Prokopczuk E, et al; for the MERLIN-TIMI 36 Trial Investigators. Effects of ranolazine on recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes: the MERLIN-TIMI 36 randomized trial. JAMA. 2007;297(16):1775-1783.

2. Lynfield R, Ogunmodede F, Guerina NG. Toxoplasmosis. In: McMillan JA, Feigin RD, DeAngelis CD, Jones MD Jr, eds. Oski’s Pediatrics: Principles and Practice. 4th ed. Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2006:1351-1362.

3. The key and critical objectives of JAMA. http://jama.ama-assn.org/misc/aboutjama.dtl. Accessed April 4, 2007.

The possible permutations hardly stop there. Hopefully, an online tool will be able to help create new styles in the future.

I 'd need the Journal of Photochemistry & Photobiology style.

References: In the text, references should be in chronological order
and with the year in parentheses. In the fi rst entry of each reference
list up to fi ve authors. When there are six or more authors, the sixth
and subsequent authors are abbreviated as “et al.”:
Pfadenhauer (1995), Pfadenhauer & Otte (1995), Gurnell, Petts,
Hannah, Smith, Edwards et al. (2001). In the second and following
entries of the same reference, only the fi rst author is named and all
co-authors are abbreviated as “et al.”. Avoid excessive citations; cite
only essential resources.

In the list, references should be arranged fi rst alphabetically and
then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one
reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identifi
ed by the letters “a”, “b”, “c”, etc. after the year of publication.
The following usage should be confi rmed to:
Reference to a journal publication:

Gurnell, A.M., Petts, G.E., Hannah,
D.M., Smith, B.P.G., Edwards, P.J., Kollmann, J., Ward, J.V., & Tockner,
K. (2001). Riparian vegetation and island formation along the gravelbed
Fiume Tagiamento, Italy. Earth Surface processes and Land Forms,
26, 31–62.

Reference to a book:
Ellenberg, H. (1996). Vegetation Mitteleuropas mit den Alpen. (1st ed.). Stuttgart: Ulmer Verlag.

Reference to a chapter in an edited book: :

Gurr, G.M., Wratten, S.D., & Barbosa, P. (2000). Success in conservation biological control of arthropods. In: G.M. Gurr & S.D. Wratten (Eds.), Biological control: Measures of success (pp. 105–132). Dordrecht: Kluwer

an adaptation of the Chicago "note with bibliography" would be great:
[author]: [title], [year], p. [page number].

If you wish to make your German users happy, a version that replaces the p. (page number) with S. would be good as well!

The Journal of Immunology is a high-number publication journal that is used by a tonne of biologists. Would be a good one. Format is a little odd compared to others too. First author has last name first but then other authors switch over to initials first.

@erazlogo

I don't think there is an official name for this style. It resembles the "Erweiterter Kurzbeleg" [extended short citation] style. However, that one would require each reference to have a "Kurztitel" [shortened titel] in the bibliography and the citations then refer to this shortened title instead of the full title, so it probably would be a lot more work to create...

The Lichenologist - http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=LIC

Citations in the text should take the form: Green & White (2004) or (Brown 1999a, b, 2001; Smith & Jones 1999). Multiple citations should be ordered chronologically. When papers are by three or more authors, give only the name of the first author followed by et al. (e.g. Halonen et al. 1998) throughout the text. At the end of the text, list the references alphabetically using the following standard forms:

Scherrer, S. & Honegger, R. (2003) Inter- and intraspecific variation of homologous hydrophobin (H1) gene sequences among Xanthoria spp. (lichen-forming ascomycetes). New Phytologist 158: 375–389.

References should be listed in alphabetic sequence with: single authors, by date; two authors, alphabetically, then by date; three or more authors by date only.

Okay, I found an SBL style guide on a former post:

Style coming soon.

@ erazlogo

found another problem with most recent Oxford Art Journal style. The Book Section outputs as

[author], [title], in [title], [book title] ...

but should be

[author], [title], in [book title] ...

E.g., I get
Anne Rorimer, ‘Photography: restructuring the pictorial’, in ‘Photography: restructuring the pictorial’, New art in the 60s and 70s: redefining reality ...

Obviously some people know how to do these sort of changes more easily than others.

I just want to have my year's in brackets (1997) for example. Can someone tell me how to do it as I have not been successful so far.

The other possibility is to provide more examples or "recipes" on what to do.

divadnagrom: you just look for the prefix and suffix attributes that contain the parenthesis, and remove them.

There's some documentation on CSL here.

bboulding: no promises from me, but it's more likely you'll see it if you itemize exactly how they're different.

And to undeline a point that I've mentioned here at least three times: it's in general inconsiderate for people to be posting vague requests, without even a URL for documentation. If someone does this for you, it will because they've donated their time. The least you can do is to help them out with the details.

OK, give it a try.

BTW, I think your wrong about the et al. I saw two in the docs.

bdarcus: you're right

7.7 The abbreviation "et al." should be used in the text when there are more than two co-authors of a cited paper.

thanks for your help

Do you know how far is the project to get a personal style editor ?

bdarcus: turns out the problem is needing to shut down firefox and restarting. When I did this I had the corrected details.

bdarcus: Thank you for the Water Science and Technology style.
Just two feedbacks
For instance:
ref: (Allen, Braithwaite, et coll., 1997)

biblio: Allen, M. R., Braithwaite, A., et Hills, C. C. (1997) Trace Organic Compounds in Landfill Gas at Seven U.K. Waste Disposal Sites. Environmental Science & Technology, 31(4), 1054-1061.

1- There are three spaces after the last author and the publication year
2- There is et coll. I guess it is due to the local of Firefox (which is Fr for me)
How can I have et al.

thanks again for your work

canasta: CSL does not now support styling of et-al, but will soon.
