[style error] Oikos

jbleu

Hi,

I am using Zotero 2.1.6 (with CSL 1.0).

I would like to correct some mistakes in the style Oikos, in particular the bibliography is not sorted as requested by the journal.
(guidelines: http://www.wiley.com.gate1.inist.fr/bw/submit.asp?ref=0030-1299&site=1)

"
The reference list should be arranged alphabetically on authors' names and chronologically per author.
If the author's name is also mentioned with co-authors, the following order should be used: publications of the single author, arranged chronologically - publications of the same author with one co-author, arranged chronologically - publications of the author with more than one co-author, arranged chronologically.
"

I need to count the number of author and to constraint the count to 3.

I can make a new macro that counts the number of authors

<macro name="authorcount">
<names variable="author">
<name form="count"/>
</names>
</macro>

and then sort the bibliography :

<sort>
<key macro="author" names-min="1" names-use-first="1"/>
<key macro="authorcount"/>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>

However I do not know how to constrain the author-count to max of 3.

Do you have any suggestion ?

Thank you

Use <key macro="authorcount" names-min="3" names-use-first="3"/>.

thanks it worked !

I have an other question.
How can I have an abbreviated form of the publisher ?

for example: Cambridge University Press should be Cambridge Univ. Press
in fact all the "University" should be abbreviated to "Univ."

Since there is no field "abbreviated publisher" in zotero I don't know how to do it...

that's not possible at this point. It also seems to be a very limited feature, so adding it to Zotero would likely be overkill.
Just search and replace in the bibliography before you sent the article to the journal.

jbleu

yes, that's what I thought. I was just checking I didn't miss something.

if you want to update the style for everyone, I have pasted the code here :

Thanks

thank you - it's bookmarked, will get to this soon-ish

adamsmith

ok, it's up - thanks again.
(btw - when you edit styles, remove the (dev) after the style name - the Zotero repository adds that automatically)

I noticed that the style did not validate.
I have updated it so now it validates, it is uploaded here:

thanks to update it in the zotero style repository.

adamsmith

it's up on the csl 1.0 repository here:
