Upgrade StorageCitation Style wish: Behavioral Ecology (CSE name / year)
Hi,
zotero is working great for me, but I can't find a style to match a journal I use a lot, Behavioral Ecology.
If anyone could make this (or point out if it exists under another name?) I would be really grateful!
The style follows CSE guidelines, but name / year, not numbered as in the one already in the archive.
Detailed description from their website:
Behavioral Ecology follows the name-year citation style from Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7th ed.) for style.
...Citations should be typed alphabetically on a separate sheet, double-spaced and unnumbered. They should be referred to in the text by the name(s) of the first author(s) and subsequent authors as necessary, followed by the year of publication in parentheses: (Able, Baker, and Cabbott 2000) or Able, Baker, and Durmot (2000). The order for references within parentheses in the text should be chronological and then alphabetical. For works by the exact same author(s) in the same year, append a lowercase a, b, c, etc. to the year of publication. If the works differ slightly in names, provide enough surnames to distinguish the one group from the other. The reference list should conform to the following styles:
Journal article
Author AB, Author CD, Author EF. 2001a. Title of article. J Hered. 60:128-132.
Paper in a conference proceedings
Author AB, editor. 2001b. Article title. Name of conference; YYYY MMM DD-DD; location. City, State or Country of publication: Publisher's name. p. 137-180.
Book
Author GH, Author IJ. 1999a. Title of book. City, State or Country of publication: Publisher's name.
Chapter in a book
Author GH, Author IJ. 1999b. Title of a chapter: a subtitle. In: Able MN, Baker OP, editors. Title of book. 2nd ed. City, State or Country of publication: Publisher's name. p. 200-235.
Thesis or dissertation
Author MN. 2002. Title [dissertation]. Location of university: Name of university; 68 p.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!
note point 2) - I'll need a detailed list of differences to an existing style.
A link to the style guide would be good and, if at all possible, a link to a sample article.
I found your earlier reply to JohWil and downloaded the style you had created - Counsil for Science Editors author-date, from http://gist.github.com/261043
My apologies I did not notice it before, I couldn't find anything close to a match in the citation style repository.
The citation style almost does the job!
Bibliography seems to be exactly what I need, at least so far spotted no differences.
However, still differences in within-text citation:
- It should have "and" in between the second-last and last author (but only in the within-text citations, not in the bibliography)
- author initials and/or first names should be suppressed for within-text citations, so that only last name is presented.
example: it is now
(B. P. Oldroyd J. H. Fewell 2007; Jones, Nanork, B. P. Oldroyd 2007)
it should be
(Oldroyd and Fewell 2007; Jones, Nanork and Oldroyd 2007)
Here's a link to a publication
http://www.bandedmongoose.org/noindex/downloads/Gilchrist%20Eviction%20abortion%20&%20infanticide%20BE%202006%20(10).pdf
http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation
( If only they could get the find/replace in Zotero to work, that would make a brilliant program even better...! )
When adding more references I noticed more differences in the format of the bibliography. My bad, was using articles that had less information and did not notice these in the first place
- Could the month be suppressed automatically, in case it exists in the date field?
- For journal articles, should only present volume, not issue
- Should use journal abbreviation, in case it exists
- should not put a dot after journal name
example: is now
Sundstrom L, Keller L, Chapuisat M. 2003. Inbreeding and sex-biased gene flow in the ant Formica exsecta. Evolution. 57(7):1552-1561.
Johnstone RA, Cant MA. 1999. Reproductive skew and indiscriminate infanticide. Animal Behaviour. 57(1):243 - 249.
should be:
Johnstone RA,Johnstone RA, Cant MA. 1999. Reproductive skew and indiscriminate
infanticide. Anim Behav 57:243–49.
Sundstrom L, Keller L, Chapuisat M. 2003. Inbreeding and sex-biased gene flow in the ant Formica exsecta. Evolution 57:1552-1561.
and for within-text references:
-sorting references when multiple sources: should be first date, then author alphabetical
example: is now (Chapuisat 2007, Sundstrom Chapuisat 2003)
should be (Sundstrom and Chapuisat 2003, Chapuisat 2007)
About the month - do I understand correctly that you would only ever want the year of the citation?
Month - - yes, only the year of the citation, never month or day.
While the example on the BE page doesn't have it, CSE clearly does call for the issue as currently in the style, see among other sources here:
http://library.bowdoin.edu/1st/docs/CSE.pdf
edit - ah sorry - this is one of those continuous pagination rules - no issue number when volumes have continuous pagination. This is a real problem, because there really is no technical solution to this - I'd tend to like to err on the side of providing too much information, because taking it out is alway easier. Thoughts?
So yes, take out the issue number I say!

Bibliography is now as it should be.
For within-text references, still one wish:
-sorting when there is multiple sources: it should be first by date, and then by author, and irrespective of the type of reference. It sorts now everything according to name, not date, and research articles first and then book chapters.
Example: is now
(Charlesworth and Charlesworth 1987; Crnokrak and Roff 1999; Frankham 1995; Hedrick and Kalinowski 2000; Keller and Waller 2002; Lynch and Walsh 1998*; Wright 1977*) *book cpt
Should be
(Wright 1977; Charlesworth and Charlesworth 1987; Frankham 1995; Lynch and Walsh 1998; Crnokrak and Roff 1999; Hedrick and Kalinowski 2000; Keller and Waller 2002)
edit - note, btw. that the above list doesn't sort by item type - it just sorts alphabetically by first author.
