Style Request: Journal of Archaeological Research

Hi, I need a citation style for the "Journal of Archaeological Research" if anyone would be able to create one.

The website provides the guidelines below. The website for the journal is here: http://www.springer.com/social+sciences/archaeology+&+anthropology/journal/10814

You can open up a journal article, and see how they did their references cited. Note that journal volume # is formatted bold. See here, scroll to references cited: http://www.springerlink.com/content/0874243856664259/fulltext.html

Following the following guidelines:

List references alphabetically at the end of the paper in a section entitled References Cited and refer to
them in the text by name and year in parentheses. Where there are three or more authors, only the first
author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include (in this order): last
names and initials of all authors, year published, title of article, name of publication, volume number,
and inclusive pages. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to that used in the
journal — illustrated by the following examples:

Journal Article
Andrews, A. P. (1993). Late Postclassic lowland Maya archaeology. Journal of World Prehistory 7:
35−−69.

Book
Sinopoli, C. M. (1991). Approaches to Archaeological Ceramics, Plenum Press, New York.

Contribution to a Book
O'Connell, J. F., Hawkes, K., and Jones, N. B. (1991). Distribution of refuse−producing activities at
Hadza residential base camps: Implications for analyses of archaeological site structure. In Kroll, E.
M., and Price, T. D. (eds.), The Interpretation of Archaeological Spatial Patterning, Plenum Press,
New York, pp. 61−−76.

After References Cited, include a separate section entitled Bibliography of Recent Literature.
Bibliography entries should not be cited in the text (and therefore not appear in the References Cited).
List entries alphabetically, and follow the same style as the examples above.


Thanks!
  • A. CSL Style Closest: Probably the American Anthropological Association here: http://www.zotero.org/styles/american-anthropological-association

    or the Journal of Social Archaeology http://www.zotero.org/styles/journal-of-social-archaeology which conforms better, with having the year after the author, in parentheses (see example below of how to change from this style)

    This is the proper format for J.A.R. format requested, note use of bold for journal volume #, the addition of a period to (eds) --> (eds.), and the use of pp. before page numbers:

    Smith, M. E. (2004). The archaeology of ancient state economies. Annual Review of Anthropology 33: 73–102.

    Smith, M. E., and Berdan, F. F. (2003). Spatial structure of the Mesoamerican world system. In Smith, M. E., and Berdan, F. F. (eds.), The Postclassic Mesoamerican World, University of Utah Press, Salt Lake City, pp. 21–31.

    B. Where there are three or more authors, only the first
    author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include (in this order): last
    names and initials of all authors, year published, title of article, name of publication, volume number,
    and inclusive pages. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to that used in the
    journal — illustrated by the following examples:

    Journal Article
    Andrews, A. P. (1993). Late Postclassic lowland Maya archaeology. Journal of World Prehistory 7:
    35−−69.

    Book
    Sinopoli, C. M. (1991). Approaches to Archaeological Ceramics, Plenum Press, New York.

    Hopefully this is more clear.
  • ok - will take some time.
  • That's ok, I appreciate it. Take your time.
  • the style is now up - it was quite distinct from the styles you mentioned, so there could still be problems, but I tried to get at least the basics right.
  • Thanks very much Adam. I appreciate it!
