Hi,
please provide a sample quotation of how exactly you want it to look - i.e. does it need an "accessed" date, in what format should the date be, what should it say before etc.
Ideally, the citation would be from a major journal, maybe even one issued by IEEE.
I'll be happy to implement it then and post the style.

Try this
http://gist.github.com/155875
use the raw link at the top right with right click -> save as to download and then drag to Zotero.
I won't post this to the style repository yet, as I would like a standard format for the URL.
It would be great if one of the many people requesting IEEE with URL would go through the minimal trouble and provide some authoritative examples of how exactly this is supposed to look, rather than just say "Include the URL".

I don't understand the question on citation order. IEEE, it is my understanding, always orders by number of citation and I could not reproduce anything else. Could you give an example in which you get the this? [9,5,6,8,10]
In any case that's what it should do - I seem to remember there have been some issues with this in the past - e.g. this stops to work if you sort the bibliography alphabetically...

As for the URL for articles - the default setting for Zotero is to not include URLs for articles if pages numbers are provided. Does that not work?
(The option to include/exclude them can be toggled in the preferences under the export tab).
The alternative would be quite a bit more work, so I'd like to avoid that if possible.

I still don't follow on citation order. How do you get [9, 5, 6, 8] in IEEE (i.e. the style in Zotero, regardless of what the guidlines say)? It's not supposed to ever do that...

Ah yes. If the "keep sources sorted" box is _not_ checked, you can get [16, 2] (the citations stay in the order you add them - that's at least what my plugin (Ooo) does, there is a small chance that that behavior is not unified - which would be good to fix, so please report back). But in any case - it's definitely that box.
The reason that's possible is so that you can write stuff like [16, cf. 2 for a broader overview].
Unfortunately you can't change that after the fact, so you'll have to redo those citations.

It is just with me or nobody else observed as error on the position of , and " in title of ieee style?

For example, in my documents, the IEEE style generate the follow bibliography:

[57] A. de Araujo, M. Sonoda, O. Piro, e E. Castellano, “Development of new Cd2+ and Pb2+ Lennard-Jones parameters for liquid simulations,” JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B, vol. 111, Mar. 2007, pp. 2219-2224.

Look at the end of paper title: ...for liquid simulations,”. The position between " and , is exchanged! The problem is that I'm new with zotero and I don't know how to fix this. Could someone help me with this???

Thanks!

Alexandre

Hi Adam

This example you showed is about an dialog. The case here is a scientific citation where the quotation marks are there just to emphasize the paper title and the comma is a delimiter between title and journal name.

But if it is no possible to change by now, it's ok. I'll try to use another style which the title is not quoted and the citations are between brackets like IEEE (any suggestion?)

Cheers

Alexandre

Alexandre: If you are writing American English, commas are always, without exception, inside the quotation marks.
If you don't believe me, check the IEEE style manual on page 33
[B1] Boggs, S. A., and Fujimoto, N., “Techniques and instrumentation for measurement of transients in gas-insulated switchgear,” IEEE Transactions on Electrical Installation, vol. ET-19, no. 2, pp. 87–92, Apr. 1984.

http://standards.ieee.org/guides/style/2009_Style_Manual.pdf

so the style is correct.

Not sure if there is a style like the one you want. It's pretty easy to take the quotation marks out of IEEE if you want to quickly edit your .csl

Hi Guys.

It was not a problem to believe or not, but it was just not logical to me. Whatever... now it is clear to me that this is the right way in English and in IEEE style.

Thanks by the help!

Alexandre

There should be an error in the way Zotero builds the IEEE style reference. I'm sure you will better understand me looking at this example. A. This is an example of correct citation taken from one IEEE journal:

A. Correct reference taken from the IEEE journal:

[1] L. B. Sjogren, H.-X. L. Liu, F. Wang, T. Liu, X.-H. Qin, W. Wu, E. Chung, C. W. Domier, and N. C. Luhmann, Jr, “A monolithic diode array millimeter-wave beam transmittance controller,” IEEE Trans. Microw. Theory Tech., vol. 41, no. 10, pp. 1782–1790, Oct. 1993.

 

B. This is the reference generated by Zotero 2.0b6.3 (last version of IEEE style)

[1] L. Sjogren, H. Liu, Feng Wang, T. Liu, Xiao-Hui Qin, Wenhsing Wu, E. Chung, C. Domier, e N. Luhmann, “A monolithic diode array millimeter-wave beam transmittance controller,” Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on, vol. 41, 1993, pagg. 1782-1790.

 

As you can see there are some important differences.

1. Zotero uses italian abbreviations, at least in my case: "e" instead of "and" and "pagg" instead of "pp".


2. The name of the journal is inverted. It should be "IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques" (or, if possible the abbreviated version "IEEE Trans. Microw. Theory Tech.") and not "Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on". This error is generated for all IEEE journals.

I've noticed this errors while submitting a manuscript to IEEE. The reviewers pointed out this errors.

I hope could be fixed soon. Thank you.

1). Guessing from your name, I'm guessing your copy of Zotero is in Italian, right? Zotero uses the locale of Firefox to localize the bibliographies it generates. To set the bibliography locale to English, follow these instructions: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3731/a-problem-about-creating-bibliography-in-nonenglish-environment/?Focus=16040#Comment_16040

2). This isn't an issue with the way Zotero generates bibliographies. You should just correct the journal names for your Zotero items.

Hi,

I am new to Zotero.
I am using IEEE explorer all the time and the journal name issue brought up by Iboccia is really annoying to me. I have to manually modify the journal and conference name. I know it is not a bug of Zotero, but it would be great if Zotero can change it automatically.
Thanks.

If IEEE Xplore users are more or less in agreement that it is desirable, I can adjust the translator to fix the titles. Does this only affect "IEEE Transactions on,"? Is the phrase always precisely that?

Try this version-- go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/IEEE Xplore.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working. If this works for you, please post here.

Test it with a wide variety of journals on the site to make sure it doesn't introduce any new issues.

As you've likely guessed, this was a very basic hack-- it just swaps around the first comma in the title. I've put together another version that's more nuanced-- it only does the swap when the second chunk ends with "of", "IEEE", or "IET", and it splits at the last comma.

Go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/IEEE Xplore.js again and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). Then reload and try again.

Are there any other organizations like IEEE‌ or IET that I should add to the logic before committing this?
