Style Review Request: Environmental Science and Technology

ryanbell4
Hi, ACS publishes a number of journals, but they don't all have the same citation style (ie right now ES&T is grouped with other ACS styles). The only difference may be the inclusion of the article title, and maybe the DOI. This may be a problem with a number of other ACS publications too.

    Here's the link for ES&T: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/es802891j

    It would appear I posted the wrong link previously... Here is the ES&T Style Guide: http://pubs.acs.org/userimages/ContentEditor/1218550824941/esthag_authguide.pdf

    I just installed the ES&T style in MS Word (2010-05-18 12:55:55), but it appear to cite in text incorrectly using superscripts rather than an italicized numeral inside parentheses:

    (1)

    Any way to fix this?
  • adamsmith
    I'll have a look - any other problems with the style?
  • jvanhamme
    Thanks Adam, it looks good otherwise.
  • shushi2000
    Yes, I have same issue here. The citation needs to be :

    (1)

    instead of:

    1
  • adamsmith
    I'll have a look.

    It seems that the style has been changed recently, please see below link:

    could you elaborate - I'm not quite sure how this is supposed to look - especially because not all journals want the manuscripts formatted like the final pdf - so do citations go in parentheses or superscript numbers? (note also that the style is currently broken on the repository).
  • adamsmith
    I double checked this - the style now uses and requires superscripts in line with ACS so no changes needed.

    I'm reformatting a manuscript for Environmental Science & Technology. As mentioned above, they do require superscript numbers in the text (http://pubs.acs.org.proxy1.cl.msu.edu/page/esthag/submission/authors.html), but the style currently formats as italicized numbers in parentheses. My newly installed copy of the style is dated 21 June 2011. Thanks for your help.
  • adamsmith
    thanks - something went wrong there. For the time being, please just use the "American Chemical Society with titles" citation style from the repository - it's identical and ES&T should point to it (instead it points to the ACS Cite Style 2 right above).
  • engerk
    That works - thanks very much!
  • adamsmith
    ES&T now links to the correct ACS style.

    Adam or other Zotero trouble-shooter: Thank you so much for your good work. This program is blowing my mind.

    Using Firefox 3.6 and Word 2011 on a Mac OSX10.5, the ES&T in-text citation style is updating as footnotes instead of as numbered (1). Not too difficult to manually change, but is there a way this can be fixed?

    Thanks,

    Alexi
  • adamsmith
    by "footnote" you mean a number in superscript?
    That's supposed to be the case - see engerk's post above.
  • alexiernstoff
    Yes, I mean superscript. Unfortunately, I don't believe engerk is correct--

    Currently, the ACS website says that ES&T publishes using the (#) style: http://pubs.acs.org/page/4authors/submission/index.html --> http://pubs.acs.org/userimages/ContentEditor/1246030496632/chapter14.pdf --> in the table it shows ES&T is published using citation style "2" which is (#)

    I also can't find any 2012 publications in ES&T that use the superscript.

    If they keep changing it that's very irritating, but it looks like the (#) is the style they use currently...
  • adamsmith
    OK, use the
    American Chemical Society (ACS) - with titles, brackets
    style from the repository then. I'll double-check and fix that when I get a chance.
  • alexiernstoff
    Thanks! Sorry ACS is so annoying with having different styles for their many publications...
  • adamsmith
    OK, this is switched (back?) now.
  • arf176
    Hello,

    I just installed ACS with titles and brackets and it is still uses () and not []. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.
