NeuroImage style

Dear Zotero users and developers.
I would like to ask a new style, NeuroImage.
here is the link for their guideline.
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622925/authorinstructions
these are their instructions:
Reference style
Name and year style in the text
Text: All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication. Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.
Examples: "as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ..."
List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication. Note that any (consistent) reference style and format may be used: the Publisher will ensure that the correct style for this journal will be introduced for the proof stages, the final print version and the PDF files for electronic distribution.

Journal abbreviations source
Journal names should be abbreviated according to
Index Medicus journal abbreviations: External link http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lji.html;
List of serial title word abbreviations: External link http://www.issn.org/2-22661-LTWA-online.php;
CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service): External link http://www.cas.org/sent.html.

I started the work for my own use but I did not validate it, downloadable in the link below.

thanks, yuval.
  • I don't have time to work on the style, but I'm happy to help if you have specific questions or to help you validate the style and fix any remaining issues.
    Does your current style look right for the important item types?
  • How does the style differ from elsevier-harvard.csl?
  • neuroimageYH1.csl worked well for me for all the items I had, articles mainly and a book or two.
    if no method for creating abbreviations is available it may be usefull to others as is.

    noksagt, it is not the same as Harvard...csl, in neuroimage there is a full list of authors in the bib. list, no italics, no volume such as the 6 in: 33 (6) 44-63 and many other differences.
    thanks

    Note that I said elsevier-harvard.csl. The instructions that you link to and pasted do not say what to do with the bibliography, but that the "publisher will ensure that the correct style for this journal". The instructions for in-text citations are exactly the same as the other Elsevier author-date styles.

    The Elsevier Harvard style includes the full list of authors in the bib. Book titles are italicized, but I see nothing in the style guidelines that say whether or not that should be the case & the publisher can surely fix that easily. The Elsevier Harvard style does not have issue numbers.

    As far as I can tell, you should be able to use elsevier-harvard.csl for this journal, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
  • you are right, noksagt.
    elsevier-harvard is mostly correct for Neuroimage.

    I noticed the articles from this year (2010) have article issues so I entered the line below
    <text variable="issue" prefix=" (" suffix=")"/>
    I also cancelled the italics for book titles.
    here is a link for this version

  • Can some one suggest which one is the most appropriate citation for Neuroimage. "elsevier-harvard " is close but doesn't have journal abbreviations as recommended by Neuroimage.
  • It should if you are storing said journal abbreviations in the records contained in your zotero database (there is not presently a mechanism to assign a particular journal abbreviation style to a CSL style & you therefore must use the "journal abbr" field).
  • But note the Abbreviations gadget, which should work in the near future with versions of Zotero.
