New citation style

lzakin
I need to write a newsletter and papers need to be cited as follow. Could someone please help me to create this style or is that not possible to do?
Thank you in advance.

    Adding newlines and bullet points would be possible. Zotero doesn't have a way to enter author affiliations though. You could hack that into some other field, I suppose. For corresponding author you would also have to tweak the metadata (to either get rid of the other authors or give corresponding author a special role, e.g. reviewed author). I'm not sure if you want to manually type in major findings in the word processor, or if your want to keep those in Zotero (latter would be possible via Extra field)

    Edit: in conclusion, it would require tweaking metadata quite a bit

    Thank you for the quick input. The major finding is something I will type manually anyways so I don't really need to have it formatted automatically.
    I also realized I need to have the address for the corresponding author.
    Could I at least go half way and have the title, web link, journal and address done automatically?
    Thank you

    I'm not sure this is going to be worth it. There's no address field in Zotero, no affiliation field, as Aurimas points out the corresponding author isn't really a field, getting the bullet points right will be tricky (I'm less sure than he is that's going to be possible or maybe we just have different views of how much post-processing constitutes "possible"), so, overall, I don't think you'll actually save any time over doing this by hand, to be honest.

    I was debating the same thing. Thank you.

    A plugin could be built to cast a draft note set in that form, with partial content; you could then paste the note into the newsletter document. It would take some work to set up - whether it is worth the time would depend on the volume of entries you'll need to format (over time).

    Why must you challenge me adamsmith!? https://gist.github.com/aurimasv/e16d9c2322bcdeb57809 though granted that this doesn't work by inserting bibliography into Word, just by right-click export bibliography.
  • fbennett
    ... or maybe what aurimas says. :-)
  • aurimas
    Frank, is inability to insert newlines in Word a feature of citeproc-js, Zotero, or a limitation of Word?
  • fbennett
    When you use delimiter="
" for the newline, the processor inserts a literal newline in the output. That works in plain text, but it's ignored by HTML and RTF rendering engines.

    There is a "display" attribute in CSL that works (imperfectly) with the rendering engines. The style would look something like this:

    https://gist.github.com/fbennett/c7c48158f8e0e60518e7

    That gives you pretty nice output in an exported HTML bibliography viewed in the browser. In RTF it's currently broken, because display="indent" is not supplying a \par for some reason. On the spec, it should do, and it looks like fixing the behavior will not cause a problem in the two repository styles that use it. I'll try to get that fixed this weekend.

    The glitch should now be fixed. You can try the amended citeproc-js CSL engine with the style code linked above by installing the processor patch plugin. The only effect of the plugin is to swap in the latest version of the processor. The plugin can and should be removed when the next Zotero release comes out.
