Upgrade StorageStyle Request: [Leiden Journal of International Law]
Dear all,
I am posting this as I would very much appreciate a bit of your valuable time to help me out to create the style for the Leiden Journal of International Law (LJIL). I have read the Steps To Request New Bibliographic Styles, however I was not able to locate any style with a close resemblance to the style of the Leiden Journal. This is probably due to the fact that besides the bluebook there is no other style of any law journal available so far. Thus, I provide here as many information as possible to faciliate you the work and I would be very grateful if someone could create the style. Unfortunately, this forum does not allow me to post things in ITALICS, should this be necessary, I will indicate it AFTER the respective item which has to be in ITALICS and in ( ), example: Author, Title (ITALICS), page --> Author, then Title in ITALICS, page.
The citation style for the following items is as follows (at the bottom, I will give the link for the instruction for contributors which includes all this and more
from page 7 of the document on (link on the bottom)
1. Books
Author, Title(ITALICS) (year), page
Examples: L. Davies, Law of the Antarctic (ITALICS) (1976), 432
2. Articles

for other courts see the documents, however this is not that important for the citation style, simlarly for documents of international organisations etc., I will omit those specific categories, should you be motivated to include them, please go ahead :)
7. Internet (url)
Full url (you can omit http://)
Example: www.un.org/icty
Before the documents, here are the instructions for cross-references (page 6 of the document):
Cross-references
‐
The first reference to any source must be given in full (for format see ‘Rules for citation’ below).
‐
Authorities and textual sources cited elsewhere in the article may be referred to by using a condensed reference, adding ‘supra’ or ‘infra’. This also applies to case names.
‐
For a reference to the author, simply use the last name (no initials). Where two authors are cited give both names, but for three or more name only the first author, followed by ‘et al.’.
‐
Use ‘note’ or ‘notes’ when referring to other footnotes within the article.
‐
Do not use page numbers for references within an article, as they will change when the issue is typeset. Instead, refer to (sub)sections or text at notes.
‐
References such as ‘op. cit.’, ‘loc. cit.’, ‘idem’ (‘id.’) are not used; only ‘ibid.’ should be used, when referring to the source cited immediately above.
Examples:
See Falk, supra (ITALICS) note 17, at 86.
Cf. Section 5, infra (ITALICS). See note 10, infra (ITALICS).
See also text at notes 35-37, infra (ITALICS).
See notes 12-15 and accompanying text, supra (ITALICS). See, e.g., cases cited at note 24, supra (ITALICS).

I hope someone of you could help me out. Thank you very much and with best regards,

Here is a really "first" draft I did to learn the dataset used (.csl) : http://funkybudha.net/wp-content/uploads/leiden-journal-int-law.csl
You need to open it throught Firefox to integrate it into Zotero style sheets. But first you must upgrade to Zotero 2.1 (beta). Technically, I used the csl-schema-v1.0 to write down that style.
Morritz, I would like to have a link to a paper or two that are written into that style to check on certain details that do not seem to appear explicitely on the pdf you linked. Just found out you leaved other "instructions" here too... You can send them to me directly by email, that would be nice ;)
I would like an article paper (or 2), a legal case and a treaty in that style if you got something under the shoulder.
So, I believe you principally use the bibliography part, do you use Zotero to write down your paper = do you need an elaborate citation helper ?
I'll wait for your papers to continue on this.
So, 1- upgrade Z to 2.1 beta
2- download style
3- future upgrade of the style sheet will be placed at the link cited. Just redownload them into firefox, the new style will replace the older.
Example :
United Nations Documents – in general
Author, Title, UN Doc. Number (year), at page.
Examples: R. Rosenstock, First Report on the Law of the Non-Navigational Use of International
Watercourses, UN Doc. A/CN.4/441 (1993), at 10-11. UN Doc. S/RES/242 (1967)
UN Doc. A/RES/2625 (XXV)
New citation: UN Doc. A/RES/49/75K (1994)
None of which is meant to be discouraging; it would be really, really nice to have a correct and reliable channel for handling this category of data.
ps. I've not been able to "save" a UN document other then in a pictured pdf or html => no metadata. Did you happen to have a link that I can "save" in Zotero to see the complete actually used metadata of these types of doc ? (Morritz, fbennett, or any kind soul ;) )
(There is nothing magic about a document type per se; you just need to look for something that is a good match for your content item in terms of available fields.)
- R. Rosenstock, First Report on the Law of the Non-Navigational Use of International Watercourses, UN Doc. A/CN.4/441 (1993), at 10-11.
- UN Doc. S/RES/242 (1967)
- UN Doc. A/RES/2625 (XXV)
All right, report type it will be [made for] I presume. At least the format shall be present in the csl. Thanks for your inquiries :)As to the documents I omitted, they concern citation styles for specific courts or international organisations and they can be found on pages 8 - 10 of the official document with information for contributors to the journal (http://assets.cambridge.org/LJL/LJL_ifc.pdf ).
David, I also sent you articles/papers so that you can check on the things you wanted to look it.
As to UN Documents, generally one cites them with the UN Document Symbol/Number (such as S/RES/1313)... instead of the UN Sales number, see also the official un document search page: http://documents.un.org/simple.asp
Last but not least, I was wondering, is there any possiblilty to add wild-card characters (garde-place) with zotero until the document is finally formatted and the wild-card characters can be replaced by the original reference/reference to a footnote above such as Name Author, supra note 4, ...
I could not find such a function in the old zotero version...
Thanks a lot,
Moritz
first-reference-note-numberThe upgrade notes for CSL 1.0 describe this and other backreferencing features of the new version level:http://citationstyles.org/downloads/upgrade-notes.html#back-references-in-note-styles
If you're using Zotero 2.0 (which uses CSL 0.8.1), automatic backreferencing is not available.
