Upgrade StorageStyle Request: Geomorphology
I have successful moved my endnotes file over to Zotero and am trying to get everyone in my lab to use Zotero as it is great for sharing and storing pdf's as well as writing documents.
One challenge we are having is finding a style that matches what we usually do.
We have published in Geomorphology and it has a style that I like, so I am hoping you can help me get that added to the set of styles.
I also choose Geomorphology as the current editor is great at checking details and I have a long list of ‘accepted’ references posted at the bottom of this post.
I spent some time trying to figure out how to modify an existing similar style, but can't for the life of me figure that out.
So here are the details.
The style is fairly similar to the American Geophysical Union general format except for a few small changes.
In reviewing I notice two things incorrect with the AGU style which should likely be fixed first. (AGU style guide from http://www.agu.org/pubs/AuthorRefSheet.pdf) I will try to also post this on a second bulletin board if I find one dealing with the AGU cstyle.
A: The DOI field needs to be added. In both cases it is lower case “doi:XXXXX’ and comes at the end of the bibliography entry.
B: For ‘theses’ type I am getting
'Zimmermann, A. (2009), Experimental investigations of step-pool channel formation and stability, , 359.'
With the American Geophysical Union general format. I should be getting
‘Zimmermann, A. (2009), Experimental investigations of step-pool channel formation and stability, Ph.D. thesis, 359 pp., University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., 28 June.’
So,
a) where it is suppose to say Ph.D. thesis it is not inserting anything, but has a space (, ,). I do have ‘PhD in the Type field’ for this entry
b) University of British Columbia is not showing up. I do have it entered in the ‘University’ field
c) ‘Vancouver BC’ is not showing up, but that is because there is no location field in Zotero1.5b2
To convert this to a Geomorphology style the following things need to be changed
In the Citation
1: round brackets () should be used instead of square []
In the bibliography
2: there is no special formats (italics or bolds), unlike the AGU journals for anything.
3: For author initials, both initials can be given, if known (AGU only wants first). The first and second initial should be separated by a period.
4: For edited books, or book chapters “in:” should precede the list of editors then the title, e.g.’in: Prothero, D.R., Berggren, W.A. (Eds.), Eocene-Oligocene Climatic and Biotic Evolution. Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton, NJ, pp. 245-271.’
This differs from the AGU which does the title first then the list of editors preceded by ‘edited by’
5: For edited books the page number comes at the end, rather than before the publisher.
These are the five changes I can see currently being needed to make a Geomorphology style.
If you think this would be possible, we would be very appreciative.

and are reproduced below, additional examples that ‘passed’ the editors review are further down.
References
1. All references cited in the text are to be listed at the end of the paper. Do not type author's and editor's names in capitals.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication, followed - if necessary - by a short reference to appropriate pages. Examples: "Because Peterson (1994) has shown that...". "This is in agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1996, pp. 12-16)"
3. If reference is made in the text to publications written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used, followed by "et al.". This indication, however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list names of authors and all co-authors must be given in full.
4. References in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names, and chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-authors, the following order should be used: Publications of the single author, arranged according to publication year - publications of the same author with one co-author, arranged according to publication year - publications of the author with more than one co-author, arranged according to publication year.
The following system should be used for arranging references:
a. Journal papers: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of paper. Journal name (given in full or abbreviated using the International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations), volume number (issue number): first and last page numbers of the paper.
Example:
Elbaz-Poulichet, F., Guan, D.M., Martin, J.M., 1991. Trace metal behaviour in a highly stratified Mediterranean estuary: the Krka (Yugoslavia). Mar. Chem. 32, 211-224.
b. Monographs: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of the monograph. Publisher, location of publisher.
Example:
Zhdanov, M.S., Keller, G.V., 1994. The Geoelectrical Methods in Geophysical Exploration. Elsevier, Amsterdam.
c. Edited volume papers: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of paper. Names and initials of the volume editors, title of the edited volume. Publisher, location of publisher, first and last page numbers of the paper.
Example:
Thomas, E., 1992. Middle Eocene-late Oligocene bathyal benthic foraminifera (Weddell Sea): faunal changes and implications for ocean circulation. In: Prothero, D.R., Berggren, W.A. (Eds.), Eocene-Oligocene Climatic and Biotic Evolution. Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton, NJ, pp. 245-271.
d. Conference proceedings papers: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of paper. Name of the conference. Publisher, location of publisher, first and last page numbers of the paper.
Example:
Smith, M.W., 1988. The significance of climatic change for the permafrost environment. Final Proc. Int. Conf. Permafrost. Tapir, Trondheim, Norway, pp. 18-23.
e. Unpublished theses, reports, etc.: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of item. All other relevant information needed to identify the item (e.g., technical report, Ph.D. thesis, institute, etc.).
Example:
Moustakas, N., 1990. Relationships of morphological and physicochemical properties of Vertisols under Greek climate conditions. Ph.D. Thesis, Agricultural Univ. Athens, Greece.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.

P.S. I also just added a style for Geomorphology to the repository with the 5 corrections you laid out.
I have realized I missed one additional difference between Geomorphology and AGU.
With Geomorphology the in text citation is not in italics. -name nor date.
Could this be changed?
Cheers.
Andre
Thanks so much.
