That style in the Zotero repository is outdated.

edit: I mispoke and said organization science. I'm trying to use the style for Organization Studies

thanks!

Organization Studies (I miswrote org science in the initial post) should be the latest APA format, but with full first names instead of initials....like this:

Tourais, Patrícia and Videira, Nuno (2016). Why, How and What do Organizations Achieve with the Implementation of Environmental Management Systems: Lessons from a Comprehensive Review on the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme. Sustainability 8(3): 283. DOI: 10.3390/su8030283.

@damnation you can just take apa.csl.

I actually don’t think CSL can do what this journal is asking for, can it? It can either initialize all names or none of them, not initialize only non-first names. Is that right? @adamsmith

If that’s the case, just make this a dependent style on APA.

This is a pretty ridiculous requirement—I don’t know why they feel it’s necessary to deviate from the widely used style guide in such a minor and trivial way.

currently when I use the organization studies template I get this:

Tourais, P., & Videira, N. (2016). Why, How and What do Organizations Achieve with the Implementation of Environmental Management Systems: Lessons from a Comprehensive Review on the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme. Sustainability, 8, 283.

Their new format should be this:

Tourais, Patrícia and Videira, Nuno (2016). Why, How and What do Organizations Achieve with the Implementation of Environmental Management Systems: Lessons from a Comprehensive Review on the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme. Sustainability 8(3): 283. DOI: 10.3390/su8030283.

The differences that need to be updated are:

complete first names need to be used
include the DOI if it exists
present the volume(issue): page number(s) in the APA7 format.

basically their new format is APA 7, with full first names.

I hope that helps. thanks again.

ok, thanks. I'm going off the journal's guidelines. The second paragraph here:

https://journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/cmscontent/OSS/OS Style and Reference Guide_October 2021-1632991647.pdf

"The OS Reference Style is based on the APA Reference Style with some adjustments and one important modification: In the Reference list authors’ names should include the full first name of the author and initials for any further given names. "

thanks for all the help and proactive work on this! I appreciate it.

The style has now been merged and you can use it from the repository or update it.

Hello all, Thank you for the help with this journal. I think there is an update needed to the way books are referenced.

Right now, the style for Organization Science does not include the location of the book publisher. A citation I'm trying to include currently looks like this.

Daly, Herman. (1991). Steady-state economics. Island Press.


It should look like this, with the location followed by a colon.
Daly, Herman. (1991). Steady-state economics. San Francisco: Island Press.

The journal's example is on page 9 here: https://journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/cmscontent/OSS/OS Style and Reference Guide_October 2021-1632991647.pdf

Please let me know how to update the style.

hi @damnation , thanks for your help.

Everything seems to be aligned with the journal's reference format now. You guys are fantastic.

done! thanks again!
