[style updated] Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

arnau

Hello,

I have updated the in-text citation style of the: "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry"

before --> (1)
now --> ¹

git://gist.github.com/1902965.git

adamsmith

is that any different from the ACS-1 style ("American Chemical Society - ACS with titles" on the repository)?

arnau

Yes, it already exist in the repository as a different id from ACS. Before the journal has the different style but now it has this one.

So it may be the same, since it is based in the ACS
http://pubs.acs.org/page/jafcau/submission/reference-guidelines.html

arnau

So, maybe the style Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" should be linked to the ACS with titles.. (because if not it is not updated)

adamsmith

If they're otherwise the same I'd like to do that, yes. What's up with the volumes, though? If that's indeed a difference between the two styles we'd want to keep them separate.

arnau

There is no differences in the volume (it was my mistake)

In the code I only have found the difference

<bibliography second-field-align="MARGIN//FLUSH" entry-spacing="0">

I can not percieve the difference between Margin and Flush, but I think that the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry style is the same as the ACS but not updated.
I could not found any other difference, but maybe it would be a nice idea to contact with the authors or contributors to know their point of view before deleting this style (although it need to be updated). For me is the same style (and ACS has more options such as the type="webpage", which is not in the other style), and is normal since in the style webpage of the journal says we have to use ACS style...

adamsmith

We'd probably want "flush" (as in ACS) - the difference is minor - for the untrained eye both bibliographies will look the same:

I'll replace the current JAFC style with a link to ACS as soon as I get a chance.

edit: nah - no need to contact the authors - I (Sebastian) am probably the last person to have changed the style anyway.

adamsmith

I did that a while ago. Style should now be correct.

ETET

The current JAFC citation style does not include all the requests of the journal.

I got this from reviewers:
Titles of papers should not have initial capitals;
Latin binomials should be italicized (e.g. Latin name (italicized) Moench. (not italicized))
CASSI abbreviations should be used for journal names

adamsmith

1. Switch to the style: American Chemical Society (with titles, sentence case) which is otherwise identical, we'll fix this for the JAFC style

2. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography Obviously Zotero can't recognize Latin names by itself, so you need to mark that up in Zotero.

3. We can only abbreviate following ISO rules. I think they are pretty similar, but in spite of multiple attempts, we've been unable to convince ACS to remove copyright from the CASSI list of abbreviations, so we can't use that in CSL Zotero. I don't think there's an alternative to fixing that manually.

Rant: Which is rather insane since ACS is a non-profit scientific society, and you would think it would be in the interest of its members to have easy access to the CASSI data. But http://cassi.cas.org/guidelines.jsp clearly states (along with some other legal mumbo jumbo) "You are prohibited from modifying, adapting, altering, decompiling, or creating derivative works of the material contained in or on CASSI."

adamsmith

I've moved JAFC over to the sentence case version of ACS, so point 1) above will now be correct automatically.
