Style repository education research

Pbar · August 24, 2017

Hi,

I have used Zotero with journals in Biology and Ecology, but the style repository hardly have some research education journals. Is there someone that can help with this? I specifically need at the moment the style for CBE Life Sciences Education. Any help would be appreciated.

@Pbar Haw you can read in the reference for authors:

Starting in 2017, LSE will make use of reference and citation formats stipulated by the most recent version of the American Psychological Society (“APA format”). ... Most reference management software (e.g., EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, etc.) have a setting for APA format.

So you can use https://www.zotero.org/styles/?q=apa-old-doi-prefix style

The Pull request for new dependent style was created. Before the style will be available in the repositeroy, everybody can download it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libora/styles/2c3e94ff1e6865d08df46e5e2c568d4853e64712/dependent/cbe-life-science-education.csl

@LiborA why did you use the outdated DOI prefix version rather than the current APA version?

LiborA · August 26, 2017

See examples in instruction for authors on http://www.lifescied.org/site/misc/ifora.xhtml. There is still "old" form used.

But yes, you are right. I will ask the editors of the journal, which form prefer.

Here is the link for the current APA rules regarding DOI that you can pass on to the editors:

Yes, I know this blog post and I have already sent it to editors of LSE.

LiborA · August 29, 2017

I've just got the message from Eric (LSE Editorial Office) - short version (without https://doi.org/) is correct.
