Style Request: [Journal of the International AIDS Society]

Hi,

I am a librarian at Boston University, and several of the faculty members that I have trained to use Zotero publish in the Journal of the International AIDS Society, but there is no style in Zotero for this journal. Here is the information:

Similar to: AMA

Differences from similar style:
1. After the authors are listed at the beginning of a citation a colon separates the authors from the article title.
2. The article title is listed in bold
3. A period does not follow the journal title.
5. The year is followed by a comma instead of a semicolon.
6. The volume number is listed in bold

Here is a link to a page that contains information on the style with examples:

http://www.jiasociety.org/info/instructions/

The style information is listed under the heading "Journal of the International AIDS Society reference style".

Thanks for your help!

hey - just wanted to give you a heads up that I've seen this - might be a while until I get to it (and feel free to remind me if I forget).

Megan -
I've made the style, but your list of differences was far from comprehensive - I fixed all the things that I saw quickly, but there is a good chance there are still problems, so please test this first:
Go here:
http://gist.github.com/317732
download using the "Raw" link on the top right.
Drag the downloaded file "journal-of-the-international-aids-society.csl" to an open Firefox window - and click yes if prompted to install.

Please let me know how it goes - I'll fix the style or upload it to the repository if all works fine.

Adam,

It seems to have installed fine. Thanks for your work!

the journal now actually links to the style for bmc-bionformatics from it's style guide (yay!). I've added a dependent style to the new csl 1.0 repository at https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles and will eventually move to citationstyles.org
