Adding a new harvard reference style to the repository?

amitparekh

I created a discussion here https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/issues/71 but thought I would ask here too, is it possible to add this to the zotero style repository? https://gist.github.com/1419313

adamsmith

thanks - sorry for not getting to that earlier - please see the style requirements here:
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Style-Requirements
as far as I can see you'll only have to fix the id.

amitparekh

Oh ok thanks, I didn't even notice that, just changed it to meet the style requirements

adamsmith

ok, it's uploaded.

Hi I was asked to change the style slightly by fellow students who noticed a mistake, and I had to change the et-al-subsequent-min value from 6 to 4. Will this change be updated in the repository automatically or will it have to be uploaded again?

adamsmith

no, it won't update automatically. If that's the only change you can just let me know - it's faster for me to change that myself than to download and upload the style.
For larger changes, though, yes, post here and we'll upload your newest version.

amitparekh

That was the only change, I already changed it on github, but in future I'll post changes here, thanks

adamsmith

ok it's up - I deleted the et-al-subsequent parts since they are now the same as the et-al-first.

amitparekh

I have one other minor change, is it possible to change the and="symbol" to text in line 39 of this style?

adamsmith

done.

amitparekh

Hi, is it possible to update this style once more so that in the bibliography the forename is shortened to just the first letter and a full stop? e.g. "Smith, J."

adamsmith

sure, but will take a while - I'll let you know when it's up.

amitparekh

ok thanks :)

adamsmith

done.

amitparekh

that's great, thanks for that
