    Any help?

    Please re-read the link: We need the exact two sample citations given there formatted for the style you're requesting, not just any journal article and chapter (we use that info to identify closely matching styles that already exist).
  • D. Aubert
    Thank you for the precision, I did my best for formatting these two citations:

    Campbell, J. L. & Pedersen, O. K. 2007. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies 40: 307--332. doi:10.1177/0010414006286542

    great. This won't happen super quick, unfortunately.

    may work OK as a stand-in for the time being, but it'll still require a good amount of manual touch-up.
  • D. Aubert
    OK, I'll wait the time needed, I understand your time is precious.
  • HugodeBoer
    It would be really great to have the Zotero style for Taxon. It's quite unlike other styles and requires a lot of manual editing. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    The request was posted nearly one year ago.

    Could someone help please?

    Dear @D. aubert and @HugodeBoer

    I've created the style and it's currently under review. You can download it here for now until it's been reviewed and put onto the repository.

    Dear @damnation,

    Thank you for creating the Taxon style for Zotero! I've downloaded and installed your version from github and it works well. There is an issue with in text citation of sources with more than two authors. In Taxon these should be abbreviated as "(Damnation & al., 2017)", but in this version these are currently inconsistently abbreviated, e.g. from my document "... (Harris, Poulsen, Frimodt-Møller, Preston, & Cronk, 2000), Alpinia (Rangsiruji, Newman, & Cronk, 2000; Kress, Liu, Newman, & Li, 2005), Amomum (Xia & al., 2004)..." Is this something that could be fixed? Thanks a lot for your help :)

    Hi @"Hugo de Boer"
    Can you try the style that is on the repository first? https://www.zotero.org/styles/taxon

    We had fixed a few issues with the style some days ago.
  • Hugo de Boer
    Hi @damnation. Super. I hadn't noticed the style there, but I replaced your Github script with that one now. The problem persists, and it is interesting to note that a number of citations are cited in text in different styles in different places. For example, my database has only a single Xia & al., 2004, but this is cited as (Xia & al., 2004) in some places and as (Xia, Kress, & Prince, 2004) in other places. It is hard to imagine that this has anything to do with your csl?
  • damnation
    Can you test that out in a fresh document just to make sure? This is some weird behaviour.
  • Hugo de Boer
    I've restarted Zotero and MS Word, and refreshed the citations, and everything works fine now!
