citation style using a single page
Hello,
I'm creating a citation style for Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. In this style, cited papers should include only the first page:
--
[1] P.J. Weaver, A.M.-F. Laures, J.-C. Wolff. Investigation of the advanced functionalities of a hybrid quadrupole orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Rapid. Commun. Mass Spectrom. 2007, 21, 2451.
--
I did not find any example CSL-file using a singe page; they all use the form "2451-2458". Can the page text variable be tweaked to show only the first page?
By the way, if one creates a CLS-file based on another, existing style, is it appropriate to change the author/contributor fields? Should the author of the style upon which it is based, stay the author of the new style, even when thouroughly altered?
thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.

2. The common practice is to move the old author(s) into a contributor field to acknowledge their work, but it's useful if the person who actually adapted the style is the main author - the logic there being that you'd be the best person to fix potential problems in a style that you adapted.
There are no hard and fast rules on when to change an author to a contributor, but that seems how most people proceed.
I guess that zotero's style repository uses exclusively csl 0.8. Does this mean I cannot upload my 1.0 style?
But maybe some of the csl folks can chime in about how they see things developing as more people contribute csl 1.0 styles.

The issue is a bit trickier for styles that also have a CSL 0.8.1 version in the repository. For the GOST style, we have both GOST-R-7.0.5-2008-csl-1.0.csl (for CSL 1.0) and GOST-R-7.0.5-2008.csl (for CSL 0.8.1). It would be preferable to have a single, stable ID for such styles, but I don't see a better solution.
You were creating a citation style for Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. Have you succeeded or is it available somewhere?
With best regards,

I have also run into a road block with the Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry citation style. I can't seem to make the "page-first" variable work, and therefore cannot create an accurate style. Is anyone able to offer help or develop a citation style for this journal?
Thanks,
Hannah

(the form="short" set on the variable doesn't do anything, you can leave that out).
edit: and if you have a problem getting a style to work, post what you have to a public gist at gist.github.com (no registration necessary) and link to it.
