New style for British Ecological Society Journals
I have created a new style for the Journals of BES:
Journal of Ecology
Functional Ecology
Journal of Animal Ecology
Journal of Applied Ecology
Please give feedback. The style can be found at
http://www.zotero.org/styles
and author guidelines at

All the journals I listed share the same style. They are journals of the British Ecological Society
@asplundj: you can upload changes the same way you uploaded new files: 'svn commit' them. You can also create dependent styles for the journals you listed, so that amber & others can locate the style files more easily.

Also, don't delete a style just to update it—doing so prevents a proper diff, interrupts the file history, and takes up more space in the repository. Just update the file, use 'svn st' and 'svn diff' to review changes, and, if everything looks good, commit it.
Finally, the URI needs to be all lowercase. I fixed this once before ('Oecologia' -> 'oecologia'), and I've now done so again. Before making additional changes, you would need to do an 'svn update' in your working copy to get the latest version.
Thanks for your work on the styles.
I am sorry for the upper case thing. I will keep that in mind. I will probably make a lot of mistakes but I am a beginner and just want to spread the styles that I make for myself
"Citations from the World Wide Web are allowed only when alternative hard literature sources do not exist for the cited information. Authors are asked to ensure that:
fully authenticated addresses are included in the reference list, along with titles, years and authors of the sources being cited"
McArthur, W.M. (1993) History of landscape development. Reintegrating Fragmented Landscapes (eds R.J. Hobbs & D.A.Saunders), pp. 10-22. Springer Verlag, Berlin.
For the title, the first letter of each word was in capital case (text-case=title). However it is necessary only for books. The titles of articles should not be with capital letters.
I have uploaded a corrected version of the style here:

thanks for the upload.
I'm trying to create a manuscript for the Journal of Applied Ecology and when reading the style guidelines as linked above I noticed a discrepancy between the style guidelines of the link (to Functional Ecology) and the style guidelines of the Journal of Applied Ecology, specifically in reference to the way each journal requires citations of 3 authors.
Functional Ecology requires reference all authors the first time, and then use et al. in subsequent citations
Journal of Applied Ecology requires reference of 1, 2, and 3 authors to always use all author names.
I was wondering if it were possible to request an update to the style code of the Journal of Applied Ecology to reflect this distinction?
Thanks in advance.
I have one request: would it be possible to make the "et al." appear in italics when a reference with more than three authors is cited within the text? Right now "et al." appears in normal font, but the Journal specifically asks for italics.
I have one paper accepted there and the editor is making me change manually every "et al." in the text to italics.
Many thanks,
Etienne
If that doesn't work - what version of Zotero and the word plugin are you using?
I am using Zotero 2.1.10 and Word plugin 3.1.4.
I have also tried with OpenOffice plugin 3.5b2, and still get no italics.
Many thanks for your help,
Etienne
British Ecological Society Journals
from the repository and see if you still get the same problem (the styles are identical).
If that doesn't work, see how citations look in the test pane
chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul (copy and paste into the URL bar like a web address). Only the British Ecological Society Style will show up.
It's a bit confusing because there are individual styles for these journals:
Journal of Ecology
Functional Ecology
Journal of Animal Ecology
Journal of Applied Ecology
as well as a separate style for all of these journals, i.e. "British Ecological Society Journals".
If "British Ecological Society Journals" is the best/most up to date one, then what's the best strategy? When looking for the "Journal of Ecology" style, people will most likely go for "Journal of Ecology", and not "British Ecological Society Journals"...
Many thanks,
Etienne
Which one a user installs doesn't matter, internally they're all the same.
For some reason that didn't work in your case (likely something in your style directory got corrupted), but that's the way it usually (and quite reliably) works.
