Upgrade StorageStyle requested : Geopolitics
Hi,
I want to create the Style Geopolitics. I do not know very well the XML programation langage. Is anybody have ever work on that style and could help me ?
Here's a description of the style (quoted from the instruction to autor journal)
" Notes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively through the article with a numeral corresponding to the list of notes placed at the end. In this list, numbers should be followed by a full point, not a bracket. Harvard-style and bibliographical references are unacceptable. In notes, abbreviate Aug. to Feb.; Spell out March to July.
Books: Author's name as it appears on the book's title page, title underlined, with capitals for principle words, place of publication: publisher and date in parentheses, page reference:
1. J. Abun Nasr, A History of the Maghrib in the Islamic Period (Cambridge: CUP 1987) pp.214-17.
Articles: Author's name, title of article within single inverted commas with principle words capitalized, title of journal underlined, volume/issue number, year, place of publication if in a book, page reference:
2. A. Hodges, 'The Western Sahara File', Third World Quarterly 6/1 (Jan. 1984) p.78.
3. E.G.H. Joffe, 'The International Court of Justice and the Western Sahara Dispute', in R. Lawless and L. Monahan (eds.), War and Refugees: the Western Sahara Conflict (London: Pinter 1987) pp. 24-5.
Subsequent references: A reference to a single source in the previous note may be replaced by 'Ibid'; in later notes by author's surname, note number and page number(s); several titles by one author may be replaced with shortened forms:
4. Ibid, p. 26.
9. Joffe (note 3) p.16.
Or if other works by Joffe are cited:
10. Joffe, 'International Court of Justice' (note 3) p. 21."

Here'is a list of change
Books reference : The title must be underline and not in italic.
The first name should be abreviate.
Review / Journal reference : The Journal title must be underline and not in italic. The month should appear whith the year
That's the basic differences I see
Books : underlining the title
Review/Journal : underlining the title.
The first name, in both case, should appear only as a Initial.
I think that there's only the initial first name problem that's still a pending issue

specifically, you want to include
initialize-with=". "in the lines starting with<name>...If you can give me a hand;
I think that the British Journal of Political Science is closer to the Geopolitics one (there's no DOI mention as in the MHAR)
Note, however, I had to add the initialize-with attribute in about 20 places, which suggests to me these styles could use some rationalization?
There is the initial problem.
The DOI should not appear.
There's also a problem when using the same bibliographic reference which will be pretty difficult I guess. Geopolitics ask there author in case of multiple references to the same book/review to put only the name and then the number of the first footnote and which this bibliographic reference first appears. In case of Subsequent references the mention Ibid should appear.
Let me know if you can manage all that constraints...Otherwise I will do it manually at the end
