Upgrade StorageStyle Request: The Auk
I would like to request a CSL style for The Auk. This is one of the big ornithology journals, so hopefully this would be useful for others as well. The most similar style I could find is Journal of Mammalogy.
Differences I found for the Auk:
In-line citations, in a list of multiple authors with multiple dates, the dates are separated by commas while each authors' works are separated by semicolons (Author1 1999a, 1999b; Author2 1992; Author3 2001, 2004). Where there are two works by the same author in the same year, they are lettered by order of appearance in the text. If each author only has one entry within a citation, then they are separated by commas (Author1 1999, Author2 1992, Author3, 2001).
In the bibliography:
Books
Page number not cited.
Book chapters
After the chapter title, “Pp.” is replaced by “Pages”. Italic “In” is replaced by italic “in”. “eds” is “Eds”.
Journal articles
Same as far as I can tell.
Websites
Author, A., and B. Author. 1999. Name of webpage. Title of site or publisher or other relevant info. [Online.] Available at www.url.com.
It takes 10 authors to get to “and others” (J. Mammalogy does it after six).
Online style documentation is located here: http://www.aou.org/auk/docs/Auk_Instructions_for_authors_July_2012.pdf and a recently published paper is here: http://fwf.ag.utk.edu/conclave2012/AOU_Checklist_Update_2011.pdf
Thanks so much!

Any problems let us know.
So, currently it looks like: (Test 1999a, 1999b, 1999c;Prueba 2012) but it should be (Test 1999a, b, c; Prueba 2012). The lack of space after the semicolon also happens with the same author having different years (Test 1998, 1999;Prueba 2012) instead of the correct (Test 1998, 1999; Prueba 2012).
The Auk/Condor journals updated their instructions for authors on June 5, 2014 and I believe they have changed the format of the literatured cited. For example, the year in journal articles is in brackets. Could you please update the format? There is a quick link to the instructions for authors here http://www.aou.org/auk/
Thank you in advance!
Any help with this? Or is there another journal with the same style that I can used instead? Thank you!
I try to look at it the next days. However, you can help by identifying the differences. Are there any other differences except the parenthesis around the year?
Moreover, as far as I have understand, the two journals "Auk" and "Condor" are using the same style. We should check that in CSL as well.
There are a few more differences that I've noticed, mostly for books or sections in books:
It keeps italicizing the "in" when citing a section of a book, such as: "in Penguins: Natural History and Conservation (P. Garcia Borboroglu and P. D. Boersma, Eds.)." - the in is italicized.
Also for sections in books, it's putting the pages in the middle of the citation instead of at the end.
Other than those things and the parentheses around the year, I don't see anything right away.
I've pretty sure the Condor style is out of date as well, but is the same as the Auk. Thanks!
It looks like the journal is published once a year, every time with a different set of associate editors:

You can add editors for journal titles or you can choose to ignore this entirely.
In Zotero one have to enter the three different titles and that makes more sense when I choose a bookSection as itemType:
But if you look at how they cite it, it looks like it's treated like a journal? Lack of publisher/location and pp.? This looks kind of like how we'd want to treat an article in a special issue of a journal. Unfortunately, we can't currently do that either.
I suggest to handle this in the citation style with a condition of the form
<if match="all" variable="collection-title collection-number page">If the statement is true, then cite with the collection-title, else cite with publisher info. Maybe, the condition should be relaxed (just collection-title might be enough to test). My guess is, that in this discipline some series are much more known than the publishers, and then we should cite them with their series name.
