Style for J Neuroscience

c.ruff

Hello,

Ok so I am a newbie to code and such, but have been recently fiddling with several citation styles that I use quite regularly in the field of Neuroscience. I've almost perfected a style for J. Neuroscience that I will copy and paste below. The ONLY issue I've got is with multiple in-text citation references. J Neuroscience states that they need to be chronological order ie (Brown and Black, 1979, 1981; White et al., 1980; Smith, 1982, 1984) and that the bibliography should be in alphabetical order. Theoretically, I should be able to do the multiple author thing by sorting by date (ascending) before sorting by author, under the <Citation> prompt, but this doesn't seem to be working. If I delete the sort by author in bibliography prompt, it will sort the multiple references chronologically, but then the bibliography is chronological and not alphabetical... Can anyone help? If we can get around this, then there can be a reference style for J. Neuroscience... I will attach the code I've written so far below:

thanks! but better to post this at
gist.github.com (just paste and create public gist) -
it's easier to download, the indents are preserved and encoding is going to be correct.
I can have a look at the sorting, but in general you seem to have the right idea, so maybe that's a bug (a new csl processor is about to come out which has been thoroughly tested for those types of things).

Ok done!

git clone git://gist.github.com/613884.git gist-613884

Thanks for your help!

There already is a style for The Journal of Neuroscience in the repository. Are those the same? Is one of the two styles better or more comprehensive?

c.ruff

I looked today and couldn't find it! Will recheck... Wow, that could have just saved me 5 hours!

c.ruff

Just checked it out and it seems similar to the one I made (wish I'd have found that earlier) - perhaps it should be listed under "J" or "N," as it is commonly referred to as J. Neuroscience... However, it seems to have the same problem when listing in-text references chronologically when I open it in the preview window...

Really wish I'd found that 5 hours ago!

Thanks for the quick responses.

All the Best,
Crystal

I don't know enough about the field - on the title page of the journal it says
The Journal of Neuroscience
so it seems reasonable to list it under that name, no?
We can't list all common abbreviations of journals - if you do a search for "journal of neuroscience" on the styles page it comes up.

edit: and about those 5hs - it's a useful skill to have. Don't see it as wasted time.

c.ruff

Fair enough, should have looked more thoroughly. Will make sure to check better next time before I attempt to write code! ;)

Thanks again for your help!
