Upgrade StorageHelp needed to create a style for "journal of experimental zoology part A"
Hi,
I nearly managed to create a style for the journal : Journal of experimental zoology part A.
I updated the ecoscience style.
The guidelines for this styme are available here:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.gate1.inist.fr/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%291932-5231/homepage/ForAuthors.html
I use Zotero 2.0.9
However I have difficulties with 3 things.
1) Reference in the text to papers published between 1901 and 1999 should be abbreviated :
(Tucker, '91) and not (Tucker, 1991).
Reference in the text to papers published before 1901 or after 1999 should not be abbreviated, for examples: (Tucker, 1784), (Tucker, 1889), (Tucker, 1900).
I managed to have abbreviated dates, but I do not know how to distinguish references before 1901 and after 1999.
All my references are abbreviated.
2) The collapse function is not working properly
"When references are made to more than one paper by the same author,
published in the same year, they are to be designated in the text as (Tucker, '91a,b)"
With my code I obtain: (Tucker, '1991a, b)
there is an extra space and the date is not abbreviated.
3) in the bibliography section, journal title must be abbreviated without periods, for example: J Cell Biol
I found in the forum that it is not possible for the moment to implement this.
http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/journal_abbreviations
Thus, I don't expect a solution for this problem.
If someone has some suggestion for the other two problems it would be great.
I can provide the code if necessary,
thank you for your help.

2) depends on your answer to 1 - but likely not possible
3) well - as that kb article says - you get whatever is in the journal abbr. field. In Zotero 2.1b you'd be additionally able to strip away periods.
<date-part name="year" form="short" prefix="'"/>
Will it be possible in Zotero 2.1 ?
