Upgrade StorageStyle Request: [The Plant Cell]
Hi everyone.
I would like the pros to develop a new style for The Plant Cell. The existing style for Development can be used as a good start, with a few modifications.
Citing goes pretty much like the current Development style:
- Single citations are shown this way: (Doe et al., 2008)
- "et al" is added whenever there are more than two (three or more) authors:
(Doe, 2007)
(Doe and Person, 1997)
(Doe et al., 2008)
- Multiple citations are separated by a semicolon and ordered alphabetically according to first authors' initials: (Doe et al., 2008; Person et al., 2007)
- Multiple citations from the same first authors are separated by a comma, and ordered chronologically: (Doe et al., 2005, 2008).
- Of course, citations with one, two or more than two (three or more) authors are considered separately: (Doe, 2007; Doe and Person, 1997; Doe et al., 2008).
Example:
(Doe, 2007; Doe and Person, 1997, 2010; Doe et al., 2005, 2008; Person et al., 2007).
Bibliography format is slightly different:
- There are no spaces between name initials: "Doe, J.W." instead of "Doe, J. W.".
- Journal names are not italiziced.
- There is no comma after journal name, and there is a bold colon after volume number: "Genes Dev 18:" instead of "Genes Dev, 18,"
- When there are more than 11 authors (12 or more), only the first one is shown, followed by ", et al.": "Doe, J.W., et al.". Mind the comma after the first author.
Disambiguation is a major issue, I am afraid.
Whenever there are two or more references beginning with the same first author, a small letter suffix must be placed immediately after the year, both in the cite and in the bibliography entry.
- References are ordered alpabetibally according to authors' names:
Doe, J.W., Nakamura, I., Person, A., and Other, P. (2007a).
Doe, J.W., Person, A., and Other, P. (2007b).
- Cites are ordered alphabetically following year suffix: (Doe et al., 2007a, 2007b).
- Suffixes are given according to bibliography, NOT to the first time the cite is placed.
I hope you guys have enogh stuff to develop this. Let's keep Zotero up there!
Thank you very much.

Let me know how it works.
The "Plant Cell" style does not seem to work correctly for the case of identical first authors in the same year.
For example, if i want to reference two articles with first author last name Taylor from 2012:
Taylor, A.L., Lustman, P.J., Finney, R., Svrakic, N., and Svrakic, D.M. (2012). Adolescent cannabis use: changing minds. Mo Med 109: 443.
Taylor, P.E., Almeida, G.J.M., Hodgins, J.K., and Kanade, T. (2012). Multi-label classification for the analysis of human motion quality. Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc 2012: 2214–2218.
Instead of the correct...
(Taylor et al., 2012b)(Taylor et al., 2012a)
the in text citations switch to the incorrect...
(Taylor, Almeida, et al., 2012)(Taylor, Lustman, et al., 2012)
Additionally, no suffix is added to the date in the bibliography. Indeed, as pczoido suggested, the in text citations should be differentiated by the "a" or "b" suffix, and this suffix is determined by the alphabetical order of references in the bibliography. In addition to the case of first authors with same last names but unique first initials, this problem also occurs in the case of first authors with both the same first and last names.
I am just starting to use the Plant Cell style, and in general the style seems to work well for me other than this problem.
Thanks for your help
If so this is a quick fix.

for example, looking at one article in that issue:
http://www.plantcell.org/content/17/1/25.full
in text:
"...related to Arabidopsis than is Brassica (e.g., Koch et al., 2001a)."
"...sequences are more similar to those of Lepidium than to those of Brassica (Mai, 1995; Koch et al., 2001a)."
in references:

In another example from another article in that issue:
http://www.plantcell.org/content/17/1/37.full
In text:
"...and Antirrhinum/P. hybrida (Qiao et al., 2004b), in which an extra copy of an S locus..."
"...protein degradation in compatible pollinations (Qiao et al., 2004a)."
In references:

I hope this is helpful

Just wanted to pass this on. Other than that, the style works well.
