Style Request: Asian Studies Review
Hi there,
I was trying to do the style myself, but I have admit that I don't get it done with the CSL and Zotero documentation. For a computer dummie like me this is just not comprehensible.
But if somebody would help me further from where I am, I may be able to do it myself for the next style. ;)
Here is the ASR style guide: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=casr20&page=instructions
I took the Political Studies style as the basis and managed to do a few changes. This is what still needs to be done:
IN TEXT CITATIONS
Replace the “:” in front of the page number with "," and add “pp. p.”
For newspaper articles the citations should include the full date such as "(McLennan, 20 October 2009, p. 19)"
BIBLIOGRAPHY
BOOK CHAPTERS
After author and chapter title replace "." with ","; replace "In" with "in"; replace "book title" with "editor[s]"; add "(ed[s].)"; followed by "chapter title"; "pages" with "p., pp."; location and publisher such as in
Sun, Wanning (2005) Anhui baomu in Shanghai: Gender, class and a sense of place, in Jing Wang (ed.), Locating China: Space, place and popular culture, pp. 171–89 (London: Routledge).
JOURNAL ARTICLES
Add page number after issue such as in
Whittaker, Andrea (2008) Pleasure and pain: Medical travel in Asia. Global Public Health 3(3), pp. 271–90.
NEWSPAPERS
Date should have this form
McLennan, David (2009) Australians 'ignorant' of crucial Asian economies. Canberra Times, 20 October, p. 19.
WEBSITES
Should have the "author" "title" followed by the "website title" in italics followed by "Available at" "URL" "accessed ..." such as in
Mackie, Vera (2000) The metropolitan gaze: Travellers, bodies and spaces. Intersections 4. Available at http://wwwsshe.murdoch.edu.au/intersections/issue4/vera.html, accessed 31 May 2008.
I guess the more obscure items in the style guide can be left alone.

for simple edits, should make it easier.
to post what you have use pastebin.com or gist.github.com
I can take a look but not anytime very soon.
I tried on visual editor for two hours but had to give up. I got one thing done but a few others messed up.
I am clearly not a computer genius, but not a complete failure either. I can handle every day issues fine and am using software such as STATA. Nonetheless, this user interface to me is almost completely incomprehensible and I am not capable of figuring this out in a reasonable amount of time.
Thus, I unfortunately will not be able to contribute to this style. I have uploaded what I have here though: https://gist.github.com/3233160
I will have access to a copy editor, so there is no absolute need for me to have this style. Nonetheless, if sb would get it done within about two weeks, I'd still be very happy to test use it.
Sorry for not being able to do this on my own.
Thanks a bunch! Will try it and let you know how it works.
1) The month and date in newspapers should be "day month" instead of "month day" as it is now.
McLennan, David (2009) Australians 'ignorant' of crucial Asian economies. Canberra Times, 20 October, p. 19.
2) Titles should not be capitalized. The first word after the colon should be capitalized though.
Butler, Judith (2009) Frames of war: When is life grievable? (London: Verso).
3) Websites need an "accessed ..." at the end.
Mackie, Vera (2000) The metropolitan gaze: Travellers, bodies and spaces. Intersections 4. Available at http://wwwsshe.murdoch.edu.au/intersections/issue4/vera.html, accessed 31 May 2008.
4) Strangely whenever there is more than one title from the same author in the bibliography, the name is in senseless code after the first time. I tried rebooting the computer, changing to another style and back, copying the paper into a new word file, and using a style in an empty word file. All to no avail.

6) The website is not necessary for newspaper articles.
1-5 are fixed.
I'm going to disagree with 6 - newspaper articles will only get a URL when they have no page number and have a URL - i.e. when they clearly appear to be from an online version of the newspaper. Looking at published articles in the journal, URLs do seem common for online sources even when they're not websites, so that's what the style does (not just for newspapers).
