Citation Styles

Hi

Does anybody knows what citation style is this?

In-text:

Single Author: Khailov, 1971
Two Authors: Heitkamp and Cerniglia, 1987 (the word '“and” is used instead of &)
Three or More: Unimke et al., 2018 (“et al.” is not italicized and is followed by comma)

(Khailov, 1971; Heitkamp and Cerniglia, 1987; Unimke et al., 2018)
-separated by ; and arranged in chronological order (ascending)


Bibliography:

the microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in freshwater
and estuarine ecosystems. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 6 (7), 535e546. https://doi.

This is the format used in the Journal Environmental Pollution. However, when I used this citation style in zotero, the intext citations are not chronologically arrange. Please Help!!Thanks
  • We have that style on our repository: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:environmental-pollution

    (If there is mistakes with it let us know and we'll fix it. Please be specific then)

    Thanks for your answer.

    I already checked that repository. However, the in-text citation, using the Environmental Pollution, is NOT chronologically arranged in ASCENDING manner. It is arranged in descending manner. Based on the paper recently published on this Journal, the in-text citations are chronologically arranged from earliest to latest (e.g. Sambrook and Russell, 2001; Hogue, 2001; Musk, 2006; Hisakata et al., 2016).

    -as of now, in text citation in zotero is in Descending order ( 2016, 2006, 2001) whereas in published papers, they are in ascending order (2001, 2006, 2016).

    Please refer to this paper:

    Tolerance of Fucus vesiculosus exposed to diesel water-accommodated fraction (WAF) and degradation of hydrocarbons by the associated bacteria

    https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113072

    I hope for your actions. Thanks :)

    So, this style is automatically generated via our system. the environmental-pollution style is basically just a crosslink to the elsevier-harvard.csl style.

    Elsevier actually is not super strict with the style and states this in their guidelines:
    "Reference formatting:There are no strict requirements on reference formatting at submission. References can be in anystyle or format as long as the style is consistent."

    Elsevier has a few standard citation styles on our repository. They do the typesetting themselves afterwards.

  • OK ok. Thanks for this info :)
