Style Request: Taylor & Francis Harvard Style

Hello everyone,

I am submitting a paper to Urban Water, a Taylor & Francis journal. I cannot find any styles in the repository that match the requirements of this publication. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could create a style to match their requirements. The closest style I can find is "Harvard Reference Format 1 (Author-Date)"

The journal guidelines are here: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1573-062x&linktype=44

and the specific guidelines for references are here: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/style/reference/tf_X.pdf

To the best of my ability, I have listed the specific changes that need to be made below.

Changes for In Text Citations:

1.Multiple sources in in-text citations should be separated with a comma rather than a semi-colon.

2.The first name of the author (nor the first initial) should never appear in in-text citations. It currently uses the author's first name or first initial, but the use seems to be sporadic.

Changes for References:

1.The "available at + URL" and the "Accessed + date" needs to be removed from all entries.

2."et al." requires italics.

3.A thesis entry should state "Thesis(type)" after the title, and the location needs to be removed:

Agutter, A.J., 1995. The linguistic significance of current British slang. Thesis (PhD). Edinburgh University.

rather than

Agutter, A.J., 1995. The linguistic significance of current British slang. PhD. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University.

4.Books should have a period after the title rather than a comma:
Goel, P.K., 2006. Water Pollution - Causes, Effects & Control. New Delhi: New Age International.

5.For journal articles, "pp" before the page numbers needs to be removed:

Greenfield, J., 1990. The Sevso Treasure: the legal case. Apollo, 132 (3), 14–16.

rather than

Greenfield, J., 1990. The Sevso Treasure: the legal case. Apollo, 132 (3), pp. 14–16.

6. The editor's name followed by ",ed" needs to be added to book chapter entries before the book title:

Bantz, C.R., 1995. Social dimensions of software development. In: J.A. Anderson, ed. Annual review of software management and development. Newbury Park, CA: Sage, 502–510.

rather than

Bantz, C.R., 1995. Social dimensions of software development. In: Annual review of software management and development. Newbury Park, CA: Sage, 502–510.

Thank you so much in advance for any help!!!
  • sorry for not replying earlier - this is on my list, but the list is a bit long right now, so it'll likely take a couple of weeks.
  • Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
  • A style is up now - find it on the repository and let me know how it works. Currently it covers - as a minimum - books, chapters, journals, newspapers, websites, and dissertations.
  • I can't tell you how much I appreciate your taking the time to do this, especially so quickly! Thank you!
  • Hello again adamsmith,

    Sorry to bother, but I notice that the new style does not seem to include the edits for the in-text citations Would you mind possibly updating it if you have a chance?

    Changes for In Text Citations:

    1. Author and date should NOT have a , i.e.(Smith 2000)
    2. Multiple sources in in-text citations should be separated with a comma rather than a semi-colon, i.e. (Smith 2000, Brown 1995)

    Thank you very much.
  • will do. Any other issues?
  • almost forgot about this one - done.
