Style Error: [Journal of Visualized Experiments]

Hello to everyone,

It seems that there is a style error for the Journal of Visualized Experiments.

In their instructions, they ask:
"Last name, first and middle initials (if available). (List ALL authors: If there are more than six authors, list the first author and then state “et al.”)".

With the current formatting, the 2 first authors are listed and not the first one. Instructions are available here: https://www.jove.com/author, under "Manuscript Template".

Can someone change the formatting?

Many thanks in advance,

Sophie

  • Hi,
    Editor told me that there is a style error for the Journal of Visualized Experiements.
    Indeed, Journal titles should not be abbreviate.

    Can someone update the formatting?
    many thanks

    For information, instructions for REFERENCES are the followings :
    • The corresponding reference numbers should appear as superscripts after the appropriate statement(s) in the text (before punctuation but after closed parenthesis). The references should be numbered in order of appearance.
    • Multiple references should be separated by commas, or a dash for inclusive numbers: example2,5 refers to references 2 and 5, while example2-5 refers to references 2 through 5.
    • Personal communications, unpublished data, and conference abstracts can be cited parenthetically in the text with author last name, initials, and year.
    • Footnotes should not be used. Grant details and personal acknowledgments should not be cited as a numbered reference (but included in the Acknowledgments section).

    Citation Formatting: (in order)
    • Last name, first and middle initials (if available). List ALL authors. If there are six or more authors, list the first author and then “et al.”.
    • Include article, book, or chapter titles. Titles of books should be italicized, whereas article and chapter titles should not.
    • Article titles should start with capital letters and end with periods, and should appear exactly as they were published in the original work with no abbreviations or truncations.
    • Write journal names in italics. The city or country where a journal is located can be included in parenthesis with the journal name. For books or other works, a publisher name, city, and country can be included.
    • Write volume numbers in bold, followed by a space, issue number (in parentheses), a comma, and then a range of page numbers (start page – last page). A single page number or digital object identifier [doi] can be substituted for a range of page numbers.
    • Provide the year published (in parentheses), followed by a period.
    • “Accepted” or “In Press” can be listed after the title or journal name and before the year. Manuscripts that are in preparation or under review should not be listed.

    I've submitted a fix: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/3421/files

    JoVE is linking to a .csl file that actually seems to not be available anymore. Could you ask them to link straight to https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:journal-of-visualized-experiments?

    That way it'll always be updated.
  • Thank you so much for the update. I will ask the editor for the link.
  • @arjacquier
    The style is now updated. Either update manually in Zotero or it will update automatically in the next 24h.
