mistake in the analytical chemistry style
Hello,
there is a mistake in the analytical chemistry style since it does include the article title while it shouldn't (see http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/ancham/ancham_authguide.pdf). I tried to edit the existing style but was unsuccessful, could someone edit it to remove the title?
thanks,
Sylvain

The JACS guidelines says:
1. "Beginning in 2018, all ACS journals have simplified their formatting requirements in favor of a streamlined and standardized review-ready format for an initial manuscript submission. This change allows authors to focus on the scientific content needed for efficient review rather than on formatting concerns. It will also help ensure that reviewers are able to focus on the scientific merit of a submission during the peer review process. Review-Ready Submission will also reduce the effort needed to revise formatting should a manuscript be transferred as a submission to a different ACS journal. Authors will be asked to attend to any journal-specific formatting requirements during manuscript revision." (p. 1)
2. "References can be provided in any style, but they must be complete, including titles." (p. 1)
3. "Authors should consult The ACS Style Guide, 3rd ed.; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 2006, for the appropriate style to use in citations of journal papers, books, and other publications. In literature references, article titles should be included and journal abbreviations should be those used in the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI)." (p. 16).
In the ACS Style guide it's obviously without the title then.
The ACS style has 12 dependents on our repository. Considering above mentioned point 1., should we include the title?
You could check with an editor of Analytical Chemistry, and I can check with Jon, but I assume you can just submit your manuscript with the current ACS style that includes titles.
Our ACS actually outputs it without titles:
(1) Campbell, J. L.; Pedersen, O. K. Comp. Polit. Stud. 2007, 40 (3), 307–332.
A change we then should make.
Compare to the preview of https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:american-chemical-society and see https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/36e2123af163be0a41e45490f5c4a04a0278bd25/american-chemical-society.csl#L145.
Perfect. Nothing to change here then. Thank you!
Let us know if the editors from Analytical Chemistry tell you otherwise.
Edit: I'm curious, though, did you ask about the ACS policy which is quite explicity about this? http://axial.acs.org/2018/02/01/review-ready-submission/
