Style Request: [Mammalia]

versarai
Hello there,

I am working in Zotero for a manuscript for the journal Mammalia (https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/mamm/mamm-overview.xml?tab_body=overview). But unfotunately, I could not find the reference style for the very journal in zotero. So could anyone please help me with that?

    I'll log your request if you edit the example citations to exactly the ones given in the guidelines you followed. Pleaseread again. ;)

    Hello there,

    Thank you for responding. But the example references that I have mentioned here seem to follow the guidelines given of the journal. If I am mistaken, kindly please let me know.
  • damnation
    I'd they don't have the name Campbell or Mares in them then they're wrong.
  • versarai
    Sorry. I did not get it. Can the reference style be created for zotero?
  • damnation
    You followed this guide, right? https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles

    We do ask for two very specific examples that you are meant to give us. The one by Campbell and Pedersen and the Mares chapter. We need those. Reread the link and it is explained there.
  • versarai
    Oh yess... my bad!
    I did follow the guide.

    So, here are the citations as per the journal "Mammalia":

    In-text citation:
    (Campbell and Pedersen 2007)
    (Mares 2001)

    Bibliography:
    Campbell, J. L. and O. K. Pedersen. 2007. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comp. Political Stud. 40(3):307–332. https://doi.org/10.1177/0010414006286542.

    Mares, I. 2001. Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers? In: (P. A. Hall and D. Soskice, eds.) Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage. Oxford University Press, New York. pp. 184–213.

    I hope this is OK.

    Hello there,

    Thank you so much for the reference style.
    But I have a little problem here while citing in word. I have attached the screenshot of the problem with a mail.

    P.S. It would be great if 'et al.' was not italicized.
  • damnation
    I don't know who you emailed, but if you emailed the support of Zotero that I won't be able to see. A lot of the people here on the forum are volunteers. I am just doing these citation styles in my free time as a very weird hobby and to help science/scientists. You'll need to post here.
  • versarai
    Oh ok. But I am not able to attach a screenshot here. Is there any way I can convey it to you?

  • damnation
    You'll need to upload it to Dropbox/OneDrive/any other image upload service and give us the link here. Or you describe what you see and copy paste the text.
  • versarai
    Kindly find the document here in the link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mhr6xxvmysms5a3/AABBqFx6pon7IVf0ruqODoxsa?dl=0

    Also, please unitalicize 'et al.'.

    Hope this helps
  • damnation
    You'll need to describe what you problem is.

    In the document, you can see that the part of bibliographies align out of the page margin and do not show, with irregular spaces in between. Also there is et al. in the first reference.

    You'll need to set up the indentation markers properly though. They are all over the place.
  • versarai
    It happened automatically when I clicked Add/Edit Bibliography. Previously I never had such problem.
    Even when I correct the indentation markers, on refreshing everything is undone again.
  • versarai
    Also, when searched and previewed in Zotero Style Repository for 'Mammalia', the bibliography examples seem wrongly aligned. Can you have a look at that as well.

    The repository is the old style, so that does nothing here.
    I gave you a new style an hour ago. Did you actually try that?

    Also, please note we are just volunteers here doing this in our free time, I don't work for Zotero.
