Management Style Request: Academy of Management Review

Following the advice here: http://www.zotero.org/support/requesting_styles

In this post I will provide links to the desired style guide and the source style guide on which I believe it is based. If other folks care enough to help out, they can jump in and help to identify/analyze the differences between the journal's style and the source style.

From what I understand, someone else might eventually come along and create the style document from our efforts.

    AMR differences from the APA style:

    In-text citations:
    A colon is used rather than a comma when separating the page number from the year of publication.

    Books in bibliography:
    No parentheses around year of publication. Period follows year of publication.
    Title is bold and italic, APA only italic.

    Periodicals in biblio:
    No parentheses around year of publication. Period follows year of publication.
    A colon separates the page numbers from the volume or volume(issue) information. Rather than the comma used in APA.
    The periodical title is bold and italic not just italic like APA.

    Chapter in Book:
    The book title is bold and italic not just italic like APA.

    Proceedings:
    No parentheses around year of publication. Period follows year of publication.

    Online:
    The title of the online periodical/website is bold as well as italic.
    "retrieved from" does not precede the URL.
    Date first accessed is included.

    Other types:
    AMR has a few types which I didn't find in the APA site linked above. Someone more versed in the APA style can correct me if I'm wrong...

    Business cases (probably the most important addition?)
    Bartlett, C. A. 1986b. Kentucky Fried Chicken (Japan) Limited.
    Case No. 9-387-043. Boston: Harvard Business School
    Case Services.

    Unpublished papers:
    Duncan, R. G. 1971. Multiple decision-making structures in
    adapting to environmental uncertainty. Working paper
    No. 54-71, Northwestern University Graduate School of
    Management, Evanston, IL.

    Unpublished dissertations:
    Smith, M. H. 1980. A multidimensional approach to individ-
    ual differences in empathy. Unpublished doctoral dis-
    sertation, University of Texas, Austin.

    Presented papers
    Wall, J. P. 1983. Work and nonwork correlates of the career
    plateau. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the
    Academy of Management, Dallas.
  • OK, give this a try:
    http://gist.github.com/207913
    download using the Raw link on the top right and install by dragging to an open FF window.

    For the cases, just treat them like a book, with Case No. 9-387-043 as book series.

    Presented papers are "presentations"
    Unpublished dissertations are "thesis"
  • Wow. That was quick. Thank you adamsmith.

    I have given it a quick run through and the only flaw I've found so far is the use of colons in the citation to separate author and year.

    e.g. good: (Author, 1986: p.23-34)

    e.g. bad: (Author: 1986: p.23-34)

    Thanks again!

  • adamsmith. Thanks for doing that. My only nitpick would be that it's now called "THE Academy..." while it is usually just called "Academy of Management Review". If you download the linked style guide, you'll see that they write themselves: "(c) Academy of Management Review". This would just make finding the style so much easier.

    Other than that, I'd vote for getting this one into the repository as a dev style (for now).
  • OK, I'll change that before upload, thanks.

    Hi folks. Thanks for the great work adamsmith.

    Whenever someone decides to update the style, I have another request:

    There seems to be an extra space added in between the year of publication and the page number.

    current

    (Thompson, 1967:**11)

    proposed

    (Thompson, 1967:*11)

    where * = a space

    (sorry, the forum software seems to remove the second space on display...)


    thanks all!
  • ok, thanks for the report, I'll have a look asap, usually very easy to fix.
  • OK committed the fix.
