Style request (or how could I make it?)

jmmontenegro
Hello all,

I'm writing a manuscript and it will be sent to European Journal of Organic Chemistry. I've seen that the style of this journal is not present and even a general style of the publisher (Wiley) is not uploaded too.

Would it be possible to obtain this style?

One thing more: The citations in this journal includes the possibility to put more than one reference in the same citation (As 1a, 1b, etc.). Is this option considered when a citation style is made?

Thanks a lot.

    that can't be done currently and it won't happen any time soon.

    Beyond that, see here for style requests:
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles

    Probably start with other chemistry styles (ACS, Angewandte Chemie). Wiley doesn't matter greatly, as I'm not aware of any efforts by them to unify their styles.

    Thanks a lot for the quick answer.

    About the grouped references, why can't it be done? Is an issue of the CSL files? I'm just curious about that...

    About the styles, I've checked and yes, the citation style is the same that Angewandte. However the above way of citation ([1]a)... b)...) is requested :-s

    Yes, it's a limitation of CSL. Supporting them is non-trivial, and CSL development has been on the back burner for a while, so don't expect anything soon.

    Hi everybody
    I have some issues with the ACS style. The journal I am writting to (Industrial and Engineering Chemistry research) wants the tittle in the citation, so I modified the existing with zotero test pane as following:

    <else-if type="article-journal">
    <group delimiter=". ">
    <text variable="title"/>
    <text variable="container-title" font-style="italic" form="short"/>
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <text macro="issued" font-weight="bold"/>
    <text variable="volume" font-style="italic"/>
    <text variable="page"/>
    </group>
    </group>

    It is recognized by the reference test pane and validated by csl-validator.js but not by validator.nu. When I save it from the reference test pane with the csl exention, it is not recognized by zotero as a style... I think I may have a format problem (my .csl is much bigger than the original) but I don't really understand what went wrong.
    Please help me with that, I am getting crazy ! I'd like to understand why it doesn't work but a working file would be great too ;-)

    you can't save from the test pane. you need to copy&paste to a text editor (TextEdit, Notepad, gedit etc.). When using TextEdit, make sure to save as plain text.

    I tried with notepad and wordpad, my style is still not recognized...
