Please create "Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien"

mona_maek

Hi all,

I'am looking for a special citation style used by the "Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien" (see http://www.nhm-wien.ac.at:80/jart/prj3/nhm/data/uploads/archiv_annalen/Instructions_2011.pdf) and I can't find it or a similiar one in the Style Repository. I have no experience with creating a citation style and for the beginning it seems to difficult for me to do it myself. So if anyone has the time and is so kind to add this style to the Repository ... i would be sooooooo thankful.

Thanks a lot,
Mona

Oh, sorry ... didn't see it. So: 1.) I think cml "Oryx" comes closest to the Annalen citation style
2.) Differences in citing:
- no comma between author an year
- author's name in small caps

Differences for all:
- between the second parentheses of the year and the title of the paper has to be a colon.
- instead of ed. or eds. I need Hrsg. in parentheses, followed by a colon
- no doi and such things should be listed
- ALL authors should be mentioned in the reference section – no et al. allowed

Differences for Journal Articles:
- after the full stop of the titel has to be a LONG hyphen with space in-between.
- the Volume has to be bold and not italic.
- optional issue numbers follow after a forward slash – no parentheses.
- instead of the comma between Volume or Issue and the pages has to be a colon.
- no city should be mentioned, no comma in between

Differences for Books:
- after the full stop of the title has to be a LONG hyphen with space in-between.
- “In” should not be mentioned
- instead of "p." I need "S." FOLLOWING the number of pages
- a comma should follow after "S." instead of the full stop
- if existing the edition should be placed after the pages – a comma has to follow
- publisher should be mentioned AFTER place of publication in parentheses – no comma in between
- if there is a institution, it should be mentioned after hyphen, followed by a colon and the pages (no S.) - no edition, publisher or city is needed.

Differences for Book sections
- after the full stop of the titel has to be a LONG hyphen with space in-between.
- after "In" has to follow a colon
- editors should be mentioned now (not after book title and not in parentheses)
- authors of the book should have the same formatting like the author of the paper
- between (Hrsg.) and the book title should be a colon
- the book title must not be italic, but needs a full stop
- after the full stop of the book title has to be a LONG hyphen with space in-between.
- if existing, institution should be mentioned, followed by a colon and the pages
- if no institution exists, the pages should be written with "S." and not with "pp." before pages
- a comma has to follow
- publisher should be mentioned AFTER place of publication in parentheses – no comma in between

Differences for Theses
- after the full stop of the titel has to be a LONG hyphen with space in-between.
- numbers of pages should be listed after this hyphen, and with this formatting: 512 S.,
- after this comma the type of theses should be inserted before the university is mentioned

… you see it is very much and very difficult *stupidAnnalen*… so I can't do it on my own :( AT THE MOMENT. By the way ... can someone recommend me a cml tutorial - i would prefer one for dummies :). I hope you can help me.

Thank you very much.
Best wishes
Mona

I'll probably take a good amount of time before getting to this.
If you want to start yourself, see here:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
here: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/primer.html
and here: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html
you don't need to know anything about xml to get started some educated trial & error in the reference test pane will get you quite far. If you have any questions/problems just ask here.

It would be great if you could do that. Meanwhile I'll do this tutorials and try to create some easier styles. DANKESCHÖN (means Thank you ;))

Before he started speaking citation style, adamsmith used to speak German and likely remembers some.

[Sorry for blowing your cover, Mr. Smith.]

OK, this should be mainly done and is up.
Note that I kept this with English abbreviations by default. You can switch your style to German by switching your Zotero or FF language
