Referencing websites in the Nature reference style

MattM

Hi,
I'm using the Nature referencing style. When I cite a website, the format that appears in the reference list is:

1. WEBSITE. at <http://www.website.com/>;

I'm not sure whether that's the official style used in Nature (couldn't find an arcicle citing a website...), but I would like to change it anyway, because it's a bit too minimalistic. Better would be:

1. WEBSITE. Available at: http://www.website.com/ [Accessed January 18, 2010].

or something like that. How can I change this? I already tried the styles-faq on the website here and i looked at the code for the Nature reference style, but it was not apparent to me how I could change only the reference style for websites.

It would be great if anybody could help!

Thanks,
Matt

change the access macro to the one below (this does only affect pages where the webpage is cited - but not necessarily just webpage items. If you really want to limit this to webpage items, you'll need to built in an <if type="webpage">:

<macro name="access">
<choose>
<if variable="volume"/>
<else-if variable="DOI">
<text variable="DOI" prefix="doi:"/>
</else-if>
<else-if variable="URL">
<text term="at" prefix=" Available " suffix=":"/>
<text variable="URL" prefix=" "/>
<group prefix=" [" suffix="]">
<text term="accessed" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=" "/>
<date variable="accessed">
<date-part name="month" suffix=" "/>
<date-part name="day" suffix=", "/>
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</group>
</else-if>
</choose>
</macro>

It worked perfectly, thanks for the quick help!
