Upgrade StorageStyle Request: Medicine &Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE)
Hi Guys,
I'm new to Zotero and am thrilled so far with the simplicity and ease of use this tool provides. Unluckily I need a citation style that is not yet implemented. I've had a shot at adapting the "American Physiological Society (dev)" style to the guidelines given at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/msse/accounts/ifauth.htm , but am running into two probs. I actually only need to cite journals, so haven't looked at anything else yet.
1) MSSE turns the authors name parts around after the first author:
Someone, R.H., E.F. Somebody and B.S. Anyway
2) All Journal Abbreviations have periods included:
Med. Sci. Sports Exerc.
I don't yet know enough about xml and the structure of csl files to know if any of this is even possible, but any suggestions would be much appreciated. For 2 I realize that I can change the fields themselves, but an automated function / Abbr. list would be kinda cool.
Thanks for any help,
Chris

2. Not possible in 2.0 at all. In 2.1 you can strip (but not add) periods to abbreviations. IN the long run, abbreviation lists are planned, but that's still some distance to go.
As for two: I scrape most of my references from pubmed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/). A quick flick trough the forums tells me that there are two xml fields for abbreviations on offer there, one with "." (ISOabbreviation) and one without (medlineTA). (see http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3139/pubmed-issues-with-journal-abbreviations). Whenever I pull a ref, the abbr is without ".", ergo my translator must be reading the medlineTA field. Is this default and is there any simple way to change the field that is being read? (the patches from the forum post are nolonger there and for Z1, so I'm assuming they wouldn't work anyway)
