Style Submission

victorxstc · October 16, 2009

I wanna submit a style to repository, however, don't wanna interfere in the Trac system... (Now I have an account in Trac)

Does anybody know how to submit a style to the repository?

thanks :)

You'll have to use SVN - if you're on Windows, search for Tortoise SVN - both on the forum and in general you'll find detailed instructions.
If you don't plan to submit many styles in the future, you can also just upload the style anywhere (e.g. gist.github.com ) and one of the people with SVN will put it up for you

Thank you very much :)
I am trying to learn Slik-SVN and Totoise-SVN applications :)

I loaded a citation style under the name "AJR Zotero citation style" in the link suggested above (gist.github.com)--is that sufficient? (the current style for the journal AJR is inaccurate). Thanks

yes, but you'd have to give us the link to the gist.github page
also, note that the style that AJR was based on has changed recently and that hasn't been picked up yet by the repository - the new Vancouver style can be installed here:

not sure if this link helps but it is the only thing i found on the page that looked relevant
Public Clone URL: git://gist.github.com/222711.git

the link works
( you would want to give http://gist.github.com/222711 )
but what did you change/what is this based on?
If this is just a correct Vancouver/NLM style, it's a better idea to link to the original style, so we don't have to maintain different styles.

the vancouver/NLM style is generally correct, but for the bibliography AJR requires that
1) the month and issue are not included
2) for articles with up to 6 authors all are listed; for 7 or more authors, et al. is used after first 3
3) journal and book titles in italics
(http://www.arrs.org/uploadedFiles/ARRS/Publications/authorGuidelines.pdf)

i just made a few changes to the code so that the style essentially meets these requirements (couldn't figure out how to get book titles in italics, but journal titles are). i'm not a programmer so it was just trial/error until things looked right.
hope it helps.
