Style request: Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) Style needed

I tried to set up a citation style and then edit it for the ApJ style but I can't get it right. I searched the forums and couldn't find a ApJ thread with enough information to get me back on track. If someone could create the style those of us in the astronomy field would be ever so thankful!!!

It is most similar to Chicago Author Date Zotero Style

The reference for the styles are here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/pages/apj/instruct.htm

Main differences include commas instead of periods as separators, first pages, city of publisher, need for pre-print or submitted styles, and standard and electronic conference proceedings.

Thanks,
Alice

  • I'll second this!

    Actually, I'll take a look at trying to create it when I get time -- but I don't know when that will be.

  • Since ApJ has changed hands, the reference is now here:

    http://aas.org/authors/manuscript-preparation-aj-apj-author-instructions#references

    and to be more generic, it's the AAS style, which I believe covers ApJ and AJ.

    Hi --

    'lesonyrra' is me ... I'm not certain why I have two accounts. It wasn't intentional. Probably a memory error.

    Anyhoo, my class essentially ends this weekend, so I should have some time to look at this issue soon. I hope so. I'd really like to learn how to use Zotero well -- there will be future astronomy classes, and I pretty much gave up on Mendeley when they were bought by Elsevier (which is just an anagram, after all, for 'evil seer').
