New Style for The Lichenologist

asplundj

I've created a style for The Lichenologist

The style can be found at https://www.zotero.org/styles and the instructions for authors at http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=LIC&type=ifc

Known bugs which can not be fixed due to csl limitations:
1) et al. and a,b,c (year-suffix) should be in italic.

2) bibliography should be sorted like this: "single authors, by date; two authors, alphabetically, then by date; three or more authors by date only"

Could someone help me to fix this style

(1) make et al. and year-suffices in italic for this style? Also year suffices should be separated by , and not ;

2) bibliography should be sorted like this: "single authors, by date; two authors, alphabetically, then by date; three or more authors by date only"

1) Add <et-al font-style="italic"/> after <name form="short" and="symbol" delimiter=", " initialize-with=". "/>

And http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/27768/italic-yearsuffix/ ;-)

2) That seems tricky but have a look there: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/25029/journal-of-molecular-endocrinology-sorting/#Item_4

I have now made changes to the style. Can someone please upload it?

There's still some things that are not correct:

(1) year suffices should be separated by , and not ; while citations should be separated by ;
Example:
(Brown 1999a, b, 2001; Smith & Jones 1999) NOT (Brown 1999a; b; 2001; Smith & Jones 1999)

2) bibliography should be sorted like this: "single authors, by date; two authors, alphabetically, then by date; three or more authors by date only"

for 1) use:
<citation collapse="year-suffix" et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" cite-group-delimiter=", " year-suffix-delimiter=", ">

for 2) Use the sort setting as e.g. used in the AGU style:
<sort>
<key macro="author" names-min="1" names-use-first="1"/>
<key macro="author-count" names-min="3" names-use-first="3"/>
<key macro="author" names-min="3" names-use-first="1"/>
<key macro="year-date"/>
<key variable="title"/>
</sort>

Let me know if you want to do this or if I should put it into your style before uploading.

Feel free to put it in my style before uploading, thanks
