Style request: Ethnomusicology

This is the style used in the journal "Ethnomusicology," which is the most important journal in that field. In some ways similar to Chicago but slight distinctions.

Examples:

-In-text citation: (Campbell & Pedersen 2007:314)
--one of the key distinctions from Chicago style is the colon and lack of space between year and page number

    Can you upload a new example article? their guidelines don't give me much to work with.

    emailed you one from the last issue

    Hi,
    made a first draft, let us know if it needs any more changes: https://github.com/damnation333/styles/blob/f20f6d0f6996f5f5252bc0c291b49375bc82a4f7/ethnomusicology.csl

    Hi, thanks so much for your help. I wouldn't even know where to start with this csl editing. I noticed a few things; I'll just paste examples in below from my test bibliography:

    (book)
    Billig, Michael. 1995. Banal Nationalism: London: Sage.
    -book title should be followed by a period rather than a colon

    Anderson, Benedict. 2006. Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. New edition: Verso Books.
    -"edition" should be followed by period rather than comma

    (book chapter)
    Daughtry, J. Martin. 2005. “Russia’s New Anthem and the Negotiation of National Identity.” In Ethnomusicology: A Contemporary Reader, edited by Jennifer C. Post, 1 edition: New York: Routledge.
    Duara, Prasenjit. 1996. “Historicizing National Identity, or Who Imagines What and When.” In Becoming National: A Reader, edited by Geoff Eley and Ronald Grigor Suny, 150–77: Oxford: Oxford University Press.
    -similarly, in these cases "edition" or page numbers should be followed by a period rather than colon

    (report)
    GNTA (Georgian National Tourism Administration). 2013. “Georgian Tourism in Figures: Structure & Industry Data:” Tbilisi: Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia.
    -there is a colon rather than a period at the end of the title of the report. I actually tested a few other reports and this didn't happen so I'm not sure what's going on. The citation in my zotero standalone library looks correct.

    (multiple items by single author)
    Turino, Thomas. 2000. Nationalists, Cosmopolitans, and Popular Music in Zimbabwe: Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
    ���. 2008. Music as Social Life: The Politics of Participation. Pap/Com edition: Chicago: University Of Chicago Press.
    -the second book came up with these symbols rather than the dashes that should have been there. Not sure if this a compatibility issue? (I'm using LibreOffice)
  • adamsmith
    the second book came up with these symbols rather than the dashes that should have been there.
    Have you tried a different font? It'd be odd, but it's possible yours doesn't have em dashes.
  • jacobeiserman
    It's the same in Liberation Serif or Times New Roman. Or basically anything.
  • damnation
    Can you try in a fresh document?
  • adamsmith
    Pretty certain this is not a problem with the style, in any case, so I'd ignore this for now.
  • jacobeiserman
    It's the same in fresh documents. Maybe I'll try to reinstall libreoffice or zotero if you don't think it's a style issue. Are the other issues easier to fix?
  • adamsmith

    Let's fix the other issues, have you install the style from the repository, then see if this persists and troubleshoot it separately. Yes, the other issues should be easier.
  • damnation
    You mean the colon after the "data"? That is indeed weird, don't think it has something to do with the CSL.
    Try this and let us know: https://github.com/damnation333/styles/blob/c576e9faa72b9ca8ee95e56639ef938ff1ead11f/ethnomusicology.csl
  • jacobeiserman
    Looks like that caught everything, including that weird misplaced colon. Thanks so much for your help! Still getting that weird ��� error but I can work around that pretty easily.
  • adamsmith
    We'll have the style appearing on zotero.org/styles shortly -- once it's up, please install from there, see if that fixes the ??? issue.
  • jacobeiserman
    Yup, no more error. Mega thanks for this!
  • adamsmith
    cool, I pretty much expected that -- somehow character encoding got messed up when you installed it previously.
