Help with Biomass and Bioenergy style, request for style, similar styles, CSL coding aspects

p.goglio

Hello everybody,
following the editor in chief comments I decided to use completely zotero for my style editing. I checked on the style repository and I did not find it. Thus I would like to ask whether some of you have already worked with this review and might help me.
Biomass and bioenergy is an Elsevier review with the following characteristics:

References:
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript.

Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.

List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
[1] Van der Geer J, Hanraads JAJ, Lupton RA. The art of writing a scientific article. J Sci Commun 2000;163:51-9.
Reference to a book:
[2] Strunk Jr W, White EB. The elements of style. 3rd ed. New York: Macmillan; 1979.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
[3] Mettam GR, Adams LB. How to prepare an electronic version of your article. In: Jones BS, Smith RZ, editors. Introduction to the electronic age, New York: E-Publishing Inc; 1999, p. 281-304

Maybe if you cannot develop a new style, if you have worked with it you could help me by mentioning a similar journal. Another option would be to tell me how to cite pages in the following form:
51-9
Any contribution would be very welcome. Thanks a lot for the help.

Try "progress in materials science" (also used by Journal of Proteomics; we should make a more generic name for this somewhat infrequently used Elsevier style)

p.goglio

I would like to thank noksagt for the help, I checked but actually in progress in material science the pages for article are written:
51-59 not 51-9 as suggested from the review guidelines.

noksagt

The style should be updated, as the rules for prog mater sci are the same. (page-range-format did not exist in CSL when that style was first written)

adamsmith

add
page-range-format="minimal"
to the line starting with <style...

edit: actually - don't worry about it. This should be fixed for the progress style as well, I'll do it.

adamsmith

OK - there is now a Biomass and Bioenergy style that should show up shortly.
@noksagt: I changed the parent style to "Elsevier Vancouver" - it's odd that they use a Vancouver style for a lot of engineering, but it's really quite close and seemed like a good generic label. Added the Biomass, J of Prot, and Prog in Mat Sc as dependent styles.

I would like to thank you very much for the help and collaboration...

p.goglio

Dear Adamsmith , first I would like to thank you for the help. I realise by checking an item which should be modified...
In the references, each reference is indented and this should not happen...
Now it appears this way:
[15] Charles R, Jolliet O, Gaillard G, Pellet D. Environmental analysis of intensity level in wheat crop production using life cycle assessment. Agric Ecosys Environ 2006;113:216–25.
While it should appear:
I wanted to modify it from the style repository but I was not able to have the CSL. What is the procedure?

Another aspect: no issue number appear...

"I wanted to modify it from the style repository but I was not able to have the CSL. "
the style you'd want to modify is called Elsevier Vancouver - B&B is just a link to it.

I don't understand what exactly you mean by indented - please either describe it or post a link to a screenshot (which you could post to imageshack or so).

Issue number - are we sure that's required? It's not in the sample journal citation you provide above.

p.goglio

Dear Adamsmith,
thanks for the help. Form your suggestion I modify the vancouver style another time with the follwoing script:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" page-range-format="minimal" class="in-text" version="1.0" demote-non-dropping-particle="sort-only">

I am not sure whether it is perfect or not, I am not so accustomed to zotero. It seems to work. The only thing it misses it is the following:
it transform EC with ec or lca with LCA.
Basically I wanted to download the script from the style repository but I did not know how to do it. This was the original question.
Thanks for the help...

adamsmith

oh, I didn't see the style has all the sentence-case transformations. Those should be removed.

p.goglio

What do you mean by sentence case transformations? How can they be removed?

adamsmith

remove the instances of text-case="sentence" where they are applied to the title variable. They need to be kept where they're applied to "in"

adamsmith

ok, done on the repository.
