Style Request: New Zealand Dental Journal

karan krypton
Hi there,

I'm hoping this is the right place to post this. I'm looking for a particular citation style for the New Zealand Dental Journal. The closest format i've found to it is the "Cell host and microbe" style.

Unfortunately the journal doesn't have a website where I can refer you to. To best describe how its laid out i've scanned a page from an editorial that outlines the criteria. You can find that PDF here -

And here is another picture of the same page -

I would create the style myself but read somewhere that it would be better to request the format. Hope this was all the information needed.

Kind regards,
Karan

    that's a complete misunderstanding. On the contrary, if you're even feeling somewhat up to the task we strongly encourage you do create the style yourself (and then make it available to the community).
    Here are two resources which may help you:

    http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/csl_syntax_summary

    Otherwise, you'll need to follow the steps here, esp. Number 2)

    Wow I've had a look at those links and I think i'd like to continue and try and request it.

    I've made a list of what I think are the main differences and i've outline them here-

    The way to reference books, articles and reports is here-

    I'm not sure what the procedure is for webpages or anything else though as these haven't been put into a guideline.

    I hope that is everything I needed to mention. Please let me know what other information is required!

    Thank you very much for your time.

    I'm necromancing a little here, but I thought it might be useful for people thinking of submitting to NZDJ to know that NZDJ is now using Journal of Dental Research style, which is in the Zotero style repository.

    @mattw, I added a dependent style for the New Zealand Dental Journal to the CSL style repository. Thanks!
