Style Request: Antarctic Science (Cambridge Journals)
Hi, it would be of great help if someone could work up a style for "Antarctic Science". It is loosely based on the Harvard style but with some more difficult differences to implement (for me anyway). I am hoping that this style is already in the repository but in my looks through I could not see it.
Here taken from the "instruction to authors":
In the text:
‘According to Bloggs (l976)....’
‘It is a long way to walk to the South Pole (Blisters l984).’
With two authors, cite as Smith & Jones (1898) or (Smith & Jones 1898); where there are more than two authors, cite as Black et al. (1957) [with 'et al.' in italics]
Where an author, or the same group of authors, has published more than one paper in the same year, these should be distinguished by the letters 'a, b, c', etc
in the Reference section:
All journal titles must be written in full, quoting also the series (where appropriate), the volume number, and the first and last pages of the article, or where relevant the doi. The references should be set out in alphabetical order and in date order for a series of papers by the same author(s). In the case of various combinations of a group of authors, alphabetical order should again take precedence over date order; groups of two authors come before groups of three, etc.
Examples:
BARRETT, P.J., PAYNE, A.R. & WARD, B.L. 1983. Modern sedimentation in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. In OLIVER, R.L., JAMES, P.R. & JAGO, J.B., eds. Antarctic earth science. Canberra: Australian Academy of Science & Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 550–554.
CANTRILL, D.J. 2000. A new macroflora from the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica: evidence of an Early to Middle Jurassic age for the Powell Island Conglomerate. Antarctic Science, 12, 185–195.
[Note: name of journal in full should be in italics, volume number should be bold]

Thanks in advance

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Upgrade Storage
@cheps: It will speed things up a lot if you can code the the sample data from their guidance notes to authors, and provide them to me as a Zotero RDF export file. Sending you a message on zotero.org so you can send that along by email when it's ready.

Following you're instructions... am I right that it saves my ENTIRE data base as a Zotero RDF file?? I could not find a way to select only the Antarctic Science reference...

I also need this Antarctic Science style and I really appreciate the effort fbennett.
The provided samples are rather obscure and so far most aren't found in searches or online libraries. So, I'm entering most by hand and sometimes it's not obvious what field some of the meta-data goes into... like translated title, or the one entry has two publishers and two cities!
Anyway, I'm going to keep at it. Should be done tomorrow.

That's my export.
Some of the sample items I struggled with. Not sure where things were supposed to go in Zotero. For example:
- English translation of (Russian?) title
- Unpublished status of thesis (used "extra" field)
- Map Number
- Extra fields from a conference proceeding were hard to decide on!
Well I hope this is what you were looking for. I have tried my best. Let me know if you need anything more. Thank you in advance for your kind help with this one.

I shifted around some of the field content. Here is the RDF of the data used for testing:
https://gist.github.com/973218
In the data, you may notice that I used a funny syntax in the Extra field, for some CSL fields that are not available through Zotero for particular types. This syntax does not work in 2.1.6, but will become available from the next upgrade of Zotero.
See how it goes. The guidance notes to authors do not provide a whole lot of detail to go on, but I've tried to adhere to the examples as closely as possible.
Have looked through carefully. I have tested software before so I gave it a good shot, but may have missed things. I exported my sample data (not yours) using your style from zotero and compared to the ans_ifc.pdf requirements/instructions. I also used your style in my own paper with 50 or so references, all journal articles and books, generated from Mendeley.
Citations
1. Citation order appears to be in order of selection or of citation. It should be in date order.
Bibliography
2. For a journal, issue number follows a volume number. However, issue number is not required.
3. For a journal, page numbers are replaced by DOI number if it is available.
4. For a book, number of pages don't seem to be showing up.
5. For a book chapter, the surnames of the editors are in title case but they should be in small caps.
6. For a report, the number of pages is not consistently applied. So for the test data, for the report authored by Ashford, there is no number of pages required (and I suspect because the report number replaces the number of pages when available, as for DOI with journals) and this is correctly implemented. The next report, authored by CCAMLR, does require the number of pages but this is not implemented.
7. For an in press journal, the words "In press" are missing after the list of authors (in place of year). Also, for an in press journal article, they strangely call for all authors to be listed the same, the last author is not supposed to be separated by an ampersand.
8. For conference proceedings (SCHÖNER et al. - or this looks more like a chapter of conference proceedings), the number of pages should be written "5 pp" not "5.". Here the editors should also be written in small caps and not title case. This must have been a tough example to code. There's a whole lot of extra information " Online Proceedings of the
10th ISAES. USGS Open-File Report 2007–1047, Short Research Paper 102" that doesn't fit in easily. From the formatting, I gather you treated this as part of the conference proceedings title. However, some of that extra data could maybe be split into more correct fields and displayed closer to the requirements.
In the USGS example, I put the string with the filing numbers ("USGS Open-File Report 2007–1047, Short Research Paper 102") into a CSL number field, spliced into "Extra" with the hack syntax (this syntax won't work for you in Zotero 2.1.6, but hopefully will be in the next release). This seemed a reasonable compromise, since judging from the document itself these seem to be document numbers of some sort.
For testing, I put "In press" (and "Unpublished" for the thesis example) in a CSL "status" field, again through the hack syntax. It's the right CSL variable for it, there just isn't yet a matching field in the Zotero item panel.
The other issues should be easy to fix up. More soon.
Good luck with the fixes, none of them look major.
Thank you for your great work :) and the generous gift of your time.
Just checking in and sending good luck wishes for the fixes.
All the best and thank you.
I'm finally getting to this today. Sorry for the prolonged delay. One question:Is that descriptive or prescriptive? Should the style be adjusted to behave this way?
To use the plugin, all you need to do is install it (same process as Zotero, just click on the link in Firefox), join the "CSL Test Submission" group, open a citation or bib entry with "Show Editor" in the word processor popup, fix the cite, and click the "submit test" button. When you sync, I can pick up the test through the group.
