Style Request: [International Journal of Cross Cultural Management]
I guess the editors modelled it on Harvard and APA.
Differences with APA:
in text citations are ordered chronologically.
reference list:
books:
- authors first name doesn't have "." after the abbreviated first letters. So it is Blunt, P and Blabla, A
- multiple authors uses "and" instead od "&"
- date: no "." after the date so it is: Blunt, P and Blabla, A (1999) title
- title is not italicised and is seperated from location by a comma ","
- title words are capitalised eg "Managing Organizations in Africa"
Journal articles:
title of the article is seperated from journal name by a comma ","
journal name is not italicised
volume number is not italicised
journal page numbers are kept short, dropping the hundreds: so 579-99
Chapters in books:
-author's first name is abrreviated without a "." eg: Schwartz, S (1999)
- multiple authors have "and" instead of "&"
- title of chapter is seperated from next part by a comma ","
- chapter title "in" book instead of apa style "In" book
- only first author of the edited book is mentioned
- "et al" instead of apa "et al."
- title words are capitalised eg "Managing Organizations in Africa"
Conference and other papers
- date: no "." after the date so it is: Blunt, P and Blabla, A (1999) title

- title of paper is seperated from conference by a comma "," eg Achievement motive of Brazilian, Israeli and USA Managers, paper presented at 7th bi-annual
- "paper" is not capitalised like in APA.
conference name ends with "(month)", eg title of paper, paper presented at conference (June)
- month is seperated from location by a comma, eg (June), Jerusalem
- internet sources: first organisation followed by (date), then a comma "," followed by the title

there is a colon in front of the pages for journals
I'm sure there is more.
The style actually used in the journal appears a lot more logical and consistent, so I'm following that.
The journal, for whatever weird reason, also uses single instead of regular quotes 'like this' and that's not currently possible (it is using prefix and suffix, but that's an ugly hack that I don't want to put in.

use the Raw link on the top right to download and install by dragging into an open Firefox window.
I've followed the published articles and not the examples on the webpage, which just seem too carelessly done (and I figure what they publish is what they really want).
The one thing I haven't done yet is go over the web-source thing, a bit labor intensive because it's highly unusual.
Otherwise - let me know if this is along the lines of what you want.
Maybe you can check with the editor about what they want - it's kind of hard to tell if published material and examples are so far apart.
Thanks for the work. It seems to be ok. I have forwrded it to the editors for fedback. Will let you know as soon as they get back to me.
Many thanks again.
