Style Request: Journal of Wildlife Diseases

There are almost no veterinary journal styles in the repository, and computers blow up when I attempt to do anything resembling writing code, so I am hoping someone would be able to help create some of the bigger veterinary journals. Below are the instructions to authors from the journal's website.

Article in a journal:
SMITH, A. B., AND C. D. JONES. 1994. Hepatitis of viral origin in Leporidae:
Introduction and etiological hypotheses. Journal of Wildlife Diseases 25: 000-000.
_____, _____, AND, E. F. GARWIN. 1995. An outbreak of cowpox in captive cheetahs:
Virological and epidemiological studies. Journal of Hygiene 89: 000-000.
Chapter in a book or an edited book:

  • The closest styles that I found include Ecology, and the American Journal of Botany, although there are several differences.

    American Journal of Botany-
    a)The author's name order and initials are the same as Journal of Wildlife Disease (JWD)
    b)The year is also the same.
    c)In JWD only the first word and any proper nouns are capitalized, instead of all of the words like in AJB
    d)The title of the journal/book etc is not italicized in JWD, but all words of the title of the source are spelled out/not abbreviated
    e)volume/pages is mostly the same in both journals, however with a standalone book or thesis the total number of pages is listed as 454 pp., with pp. coming after the number of pages. Page numbers always come after the book publisher name (pages are always last).
    f) editors are listed as (eds.), not in brackets
  • do you also have a link to the author instructions and, ideally, to a sample article?
  • http://wildlifedisease.org/Documents/JWD/JWD_Changes_6_06.pdf

    The first article on this page has a PDF to a JWD article:
    http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/ecotox/avm.html

    Thanks!
  • Any news on the citation style for J of Wildlife Diseases?
  • no, but I can have a look over the next couple of weeks.
  • The style is up now - please report any problems here (the subsequent author substitute in the bibliography won't be exactly right).
  • I've just had the Journal of Wildlife Diseases (JWD) inform me that I'm not using the correct journal citations style (but I'm using current Zotero and JWD CSL). For in-text citations they ask "Place comma between authors names (or et al) and year throughout". Also Multiple in-text citations should be separated by a semicolon, not a comma. For the bibliography, the following styles should be used [I guess this text box may strip some formatting such as Italics - but it is all on the website - updated several months before the release date of current JWD CSL on Zotero]:

  • I can fix the in text citations quickly - the bibliography looks generally right to me - any particular problems?
  • hi Adam
    That's great. Here is the main substantive comment regarding the bibliography from the editor (I agree, that otherwise it seems right):

    "Do not capitalize each word; only proper nouns.
    Double space entire section."

    thanks for your help
  • The style is now fixed. The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp). Update your copy of the style by re-installing it from the repository. (See here if you need instructions for installing styles in standalone.)
    Any further problems please let us know.
  • on capitalization, see here:
    http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sentence_casing
    you need to fix that in your data.
  • JWD seems to have changed its style...The author names are no longer all caps, there are no periods between author first name initials, and the journal names are supposed to use BIOSIS journal abbreviations and italicized. Is there any way it could be updated in Zotero?

    Thank you.
