Webpage style for multiple trasnportation and environmental engineering journals

Gurdas_Sandhu

I've noticed small errors in the citation style for item type 'Webpage' for multiple journals, described below.

1. 'Environmental Science and Technology': the period after webpage name seems to be missing. In below example, shouldn't there be a period after the words "Standards"?
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Heavy-Duty Highway Compression-Ignition Engines And Urban Buses -- Exhaust Emission Standards http://www.epa.gov/otaq/standards/heavy-duty/hdci-exhaust.htm (accessed Nov 21, 2013).

2. 'Journal of Air and Waste Management Association': Period after author name (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) is missing:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Heavy-Duty Highway Compression-Ignition Engines And Urban Buses -- Exhaust Emission Standards. http://www.epa.gov/otaq/standards/heavy-duty/hdci-exhaust.htm (accessed November 21, 2013).

3. 'Transportation Research Record': There is a comma and space at the end, which should not be:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Heavy-Duty Highway Compression-Ignition Engines And Urban Buses -- Exhaust Emission Standards. http://www.epa.gov/otaq/standards/heavy-duty/hdci-exhaust.htm. Accessed Nov. 21, 2013, .

4. 'Transportation Research Part D': What is that "n.d" after the Author name?
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, n.d. Heavy-Duty Highway Compression-Ignition Engines And Urban Buses -- Exhaust Emission Standards [WWW Document]. URL http://www.epa.gov/otaq/standards/heavy-duty/hdci-exhaust.htm (accessed 11.21.13).

I'll take a look. I'll be faster if you can track down either the suggested citation for a webpage or an example of one cited in an article for each of those four.
(n.d. stands for "no date").

Adam, thanks. I can certainly add examples from the journal style guide or a published paper. I'll be back :)

Adam, I ended up looking at the CSL styles and would like to take a shot at fixing these issues myself (and then update the online versions). How does the system ensure what I update has not broken other things? I'll post the information you requested in any case.

You should validate your final product:

but for checking that you haven't changed/broken the citation format for other item types there is no alternative to checking the output, probably easiest in the test pane

2 and 3 are now fixed. I couldn't find any documentation on 1 and 4, so leaving them as is.
