In https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles I couldn't see how to upload a style variation.

In this case, I don't want to upgrade an existing style, once it could be right. What I made with the style was to adapt to the "manual" of the university I study. So, I would like to add a branch of the style. I could see two ABNT styles that already exist in github:

associacao-brasileira-de-normas-tecnicas.csl

associacao-brasileira-de-normas-tecnicas-ufpr.csl

I would like to add a third one:

associacao-brasileira-de-normas-tecnicas-cepead-ufmg.csl

Is it possible?

There it was! Thanks.

https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Submitting-Styles and https://gist.github.com/

Would it be necessary to make some user register before "Creating a Gist"?

No.

Thanks. It worked!

I just have posted two variations of ABNT style:

ABNT FACE-UFMG [Autoria abreviada. Exemplo: MENDES, J.]
https://gist.github.com/2925210

ABNT FACE-UFMG [Autoria completa. Exemplo: MENDES, José]
https://gist.github.com/2925206

The difference between them is related to short/complete authorship when generating bibliography (initialize-with=". ").

Besides, follows the most important changes (in relation to http://www.zotero.org/styles/abnt which was the based style):


- Items=> Journal Article, Thesis, Conference Paper, Bill and Book Section were adjusted in some details (e.g. field order; missing fields were added; specifically to Journal Article and Bill, ABNT demands "place" identification, and the field "extra" was added to supply the Zotero lack in not make available "place" to these items).
- Item=> Newspaper Article was customized (before it had same treatment as Journal Article).
- Items=> Dictionary Entry + Encyclopedia Article were added.
- Rules changed=>: et-al-use-first="1" / entry-spacing="1" / key macro="issued-year" / demote-non-dropping-particle="never"
- Authorship (Ed.) was changed to (Org.) since it is most common in Brazil
- Authorship Translator was added to reference items
- URLs + Accessed (when used) appears in all items when bibliography is created
- Highlighting in reference/bibliography items is "italic", instead of "bold"
- Month abbreviation list was adjusted.
- Possible other minor "bells and whistles"...

Attached to style name ABNT there is the name FACE-UFMG that is related to a Brazilian University. ABNT rules are flexible in some ways. So, the style was shaped bearing in mind the choices made in "Guidelines for Standards of Academic Works from FACE/UFMG", a publication that is available to download at

www.face.ufmg.br/portal/files/biblioteca/Manual_normalizacao_FACE.pdf

The download link and other important issues where added as comments into the style. Besides, in the own name of the file (which would be great to be maintained as the link name) there is an example in which is very clear to the user the difference between the variations of ABNT FACE-UFMG style=>
[Autoria abreviada. Exemplo: MENDES, J.]
[Autoria completa. Exemplo: MENDES, José]

I hope the style be useful for ABNT users in general.

And thanks for Zotero community for give support to a plenty of threads to the development of this style!

(note that Rintze made some changes to the id, title etc. - so if you're submitting revisions of this in the future, please base it on the style that's now in the repository).

Previews can take a few hours to appear. Nothing to worry about.

Hi,

I already updated the styles in github, being the links bellow. The update refers to a "dot" that was missing when references from journal articles are geanerated with URL.

Please, let me know if this is the way to deal with styles updates.

Thanks,
Cadu
