Style request : apalike

romain.breuneval
Hi all !

I have been trying to find an equivalent to the "apalike" style for Zotero, without any success.

Here is what I would like (source : http://sites.stat.psu.edu/~surajit/present/bib.htm):

For citation :

[Abut, 1990]

For bibliography :

[Abut, 1990] H. Abut, editor. Vector Quantization. IEEE Press, 1990.

Another example :

[Fanty et al., 1993] Fanty, M., Schmid, P., and Cole., R. (1993). City name recognition over the telephone. In Proc. International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, volume I, pages 549-552, Minneapolis, U.S.A.


I tried to modify the "IEEE Trigraph" and the "springer" style without success for now.

Basically, I would like a style with a label [name, year] (family name of the first author, and al. and year of the issue in yyyy or yy).

Would anybody have an idea or a close equivalent ?

Thanks in advance.

Romain

    Hi, this is not so hard. I try it on style Podzemná voda (slovak) https://www.zotero.org/styles/podzemna-voda.
    In first I add et-al-min="2" into macro author-citation:

    <macro name="author-citation">
    <choose>
    <if variable="author editor translator" match="any">
    <names variable="author">
    <name form="short" et-al-min="2"/>
    <substitute>
    <names variable="editor"/>
    <names variable="translator"/>
    </substitute>
    </names>
    </if>
    <else>
    <text term="anonymous" form="short" text-case="uppercase"/>
    </else>
    </choose>
    </macro>

    In a second step I change prefix and suffix in tag <layout> in element <citation>:

    <layout prefix="[" suffix="]" delimiter="; ">



    In next step I change element <bibliography> : after <layout> I add same code as is in elemnt <citation>:

    <group delimiter=", " prefix="[" suffix="] " >
    <group delimiter=" ">
    <text macro="author-citation" suffix=","/>
    <text macro="year-date"/>
    </group>
    <group delimiter=" ">
    <label variable="locator" form="short"/>
    <text variable="locator"/>
    </group>
    </group>


    I think thats all. You can use similar changes in your favourite style.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your help.

    Indeed, it worked quite well. However I still have one issue : in the bibliography, after the [author_yy], it starts with the name of the second author instead of the first one.

    Ex :

    [Friedman_97] D Geiger, M Goldszmidt. Bayesian Network Classifiers. Mach Learn. 1997 Nov;29(2-3):131–63.

    Instead of :
    [Friedman_97] N.Friedman, D Geiger, M Goldszmidt. Bayesian Network Classifiers. Mach Learn. 1997 Nov;29(2-3):131–63.

    I use different macro for "[Friedman_97]" and for "N.Friedman, D Geiger, M Goldszmidt." in two separate group.

    Would you have an idea ?

    Can you publish your code?
  • romain.breuneval
    Hello,

    The code is too long for one post so I give you only the citation, bilbiography part and the main macro about "author" :

    <macro name="author-short-in-citation">
    <names variable="author">
    <name form="short" et-al-min="1" and="text"/>
    <substitute>
    <names variable="editor"/>
    <names variable="translator"/>
    </substitute>
    </names>
    </macro>
    <macro name="author-in-citation">
    <names variable="author">
    <name delimiter=", " sort-separator=" " delimiter-precedes-last="always" initialize-with=""/>
    <substitute>
    <names variable="editor"/>
    <names variable="translator"/>
    </substitute>
    </names>
    </macro>
    <macro name="author">
    <names variable="author">
    <name delimiter=", " initialize-with="" delimiter-precedes-last="always" sort-separator=" "/>
    <label form="long" prefix=", "/>
    <substitute>
    <names variable="editor"/>
    </substitute>
    </names>
    </macro>

    <citation et-al-min="1" et-al-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true">
    <sort>
    <key macro="author-short-in-citation"/>
    <key variable="issued" sort="descending"/>
    </sort>
    <layout delimiter=" ; ">
    <group delimiter="_">
    <text prefix="[" macro="author-short-in-citation"/>
    <text suffix="]" macro="year-in-citation"/>
    </group>
    </layout>
    </citation>
    <bibliography hanging-indent="true" entry-spacing="1" line-spacing="1">
    <sort>
    <key macro="author-in-citation"/>
    <key macro="issued-sort" sort="ascending"/>
    </sort>
    <layout>
    <group delimiter="_">
    <text prefix="[" macro="author-short-in-citation"/>
    <text suffix="] " macro="year-in-citation"/>
    </group>
    <group delimiter=". " suffix=". ">
    <text macro="author"/>
    <text macro="title"/>
    </group>
    <group delimiter=" " suffix=" ">
    <text macro="editor"/>
    <text macro="container-title"/>
    <text macro="publisher"/>
    <group delimiter=" ">
    <text suffix=" " macro="date"/>
    <text macro="journal-location"/>
    <text macro="pages"/>
    </group>
    </group>
    </layout>
    </bibliography>
    </style>

    better to post code to a dedicated site for that purpose. gist.github.com is particularly suitable & you don't need to register if you don't want to.

    It seems that problem is in macro author-short-in citation. Change et-al-min from 1 to 2 and try it.
  • romain.breuneval
    Hello,

    Thanks, both of you, for your advices.

    I tried to put "et-al-min" to 2 and it did solve my problem about bibliography (the name of the first author is present).

    However I now have citation like [Abut et al._90]. I would like to delete the "et al.". Maybe I should try to create another macro ?

    The full code is available here :

    If you can delete "et al." form citation and also from bibliography than add new definition of term "et-al":
    <term name="et-al"></term>

    Here is example of your style with this new definition:

    Text: some text [Burkhart_03] other text [Dines_09] ; [Endo_14]

    Bibliography:
    [Burkhart_03] SS Burkhart, CD Morgan, WB Kibler. “The disabled throwing shoulder: spectrum of pathology Part I: pathoanatomy and biomechanics.” Arthroscopy. 2003 Apr. 19 (4). p. 404–20.
    [Dines_09] JS Dines, JB Frank, M Akerman, LA Yocum. “Glenohumeral internal rotation deficits in baseball players with ulnar collateral ligament insufficiency.” Am. J. Sports Med. 2009 Mar. 37 (3). p. 566–70.
    [Endo_14] Y Endo, M Sakamoto. “Correlation of shoulder and elbow injuries with muscle tightness, core stability, and balance by longitudinal measurements in junior high school baseball players.” J. Phys. Ther. Sci. 2014 May. 26 (5). p. 689–93.

    Hello,

    I tried your modification.
    I added under "<group" the following line :

    <term name="et-al"></term>

    The CSL Editor told me "Citeproc initialisation exception: Undefined node name "term"."

    Then I saw on the CSL Specification that "term" is a child element of "terms" so I tried :

    <terms>
    <term name="et-al"></term>
    </terms>

    The CSL Editor tells me "Citeproc initialisation exception: Undefined node name "terms"."

    Maybe the three line of codes are not in the right position ?
  • adamsmith
    You need to add that <term name... line with the other term names at the top of the style around line 32/33.
    (terms is a child of locale and those are already defined at the top).
  • LiborA
    Adam is faster than me :-)
  • romain.breuneval
    And it worked perfectly :) !

    Thank you both !
  • robertour
    I generated apalike.csl for a recent conference (http://xva.life/). It is probably not perfect but worked well in my case.
