New journal style request: BioScience

lkwander

I would like to request creation (or help finding a close style) for the journal BioScience. I tried using the different style search tools (including the one where you put the example reference in) without any matching results. It's a fairly straightforward author-date format - the details can be found here http://www.aibs.org/bioscience/resources/Infoforcontribs2013.pdf

Thanks,

Lauren

the search by example will always give you a closest match - what was it?

lkwander

actually, it gave me no matches. The example (journal article) I used was:

Pool R., Bryant PJ, Simpson P. 1989. In search of the plastic potato. Research News 245: 1187–1189.

you're misunderstanding the tool. You need to format the reference it gives you (on the left) in the format in which you need it. You can't just paste in any reference.
(That's what the "Using the details below" part means)

Hi,
I've, say, pit the citation in the style of 'Cell'. Now want to change it to 'Nature' style. How to do that ? Edit citation or clicking on the citation are not helping.

Thanks in advance,
Ipsita

Thanks - now that I get the tool I've got some matches I can probably make work.
