Style Request: Journal of Linguistics

mark
Journal of Linguistics uses the Unified Stylesheet for Linguistic journals, with two amendments:
The style is that of the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics Journals (at http://celxj.org/downloads/USS-NoComments.pdf) with two main exceptions: (i) all page numbers are preceded by a comma – i.e. there is a comma rather than a full-stop after journal/proceedings volume number and page numbers, and (ii) dissertation entries specify the university after a comma but do not list ‘place of publication’.
Here's the required info for making this style:

Campbell, John L. & Ove K. Pedersen. 2007. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies 40(3), 307–332. doi:10.1177/0010414006286542.

McInnis, Maurie Dee & Louis P. Nelson. 2011. Shaping the body politic: Art and political formation in early america. Charlottesville, VA: University of Virginia Press.

ISSN 0022-2267, EISSN 1469-7742

JoL style guide




Using the Visual CSL Editor, it seems the first change is easy to make: (1) in locators-article, change the prefix of page-variable from . to , and then (2) in group > locators > if article-journal, change the suffix of the issue variable from ). to . (I hope that's correct!)

The second should also be straightforward but since the example references in the Visual CSL Editor don't include a thesis, and my knowledge of CSL has become rusty, I don't know exactly where to make it.

Here's what a dissertation currently looks like in the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics Journals:

Yu, Alan C. 2003. The morphology and phonology of infixation. University of California, Berkeley PhD dissertation.

Here's what it should look like in the Journal of Linguistics:

Yu, Alan C. L. 2003. The morphology and phonology of infixation. Ph.D. dissertation, University of California at Berkeley.

Can a CSL wizard help me achieve these changes?

Thank you very much!

    Alternatively, how do I generate (or where can I find) the JSON-ified version of a dissertation reference so that I can play around in the visual editor myself?

    Hallo mark, for thesis edition you need know the correct CSL variables for editing. You can see correct mapping Zotero variables to CSL variables on http://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap.xml#map-thesis
    Variable "type of thesis" is mapped to "genre" variable
    University place is mapped to "publisher-place" (or "event-place")
    So you have to change subsection "thesis" in macro "issue" and also have to change macro "publisher" or involve "publisher" and "publisher-place" variables into part "thesis" in macro "issue" like this:
    <else-if type="thesis">
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <text variable="genre"/>
    <group delimiter=" at ">
    <text variable="publisher"/>
    <text variable="publisher-place"/>
    </group>
    </group>
    </else-if>

    (I'll try to take a look at this at some point, but no guarantees for when.)

    If you just export a thesis in CSL JSON from Zotero that should do it.

    Cool, thanks!

    Probably way too late for you, but for other users: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:journal-of-linguistics
