Style update for dataset in American Meteorological Society style

poettli · 2025-03-03T10:06:56+00:00

Item "dataset" is not correctly rendered in the American Meteorological Society style (updated 27 June 2019).

Current format:
Knutti, R., 2014: IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot: The rcp85 experiment. https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8.

Expected format:
Knutti, R., 2014: IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot: The rcp85 experiment. DKRZ World Data Center for Climate, accessed 14 October 2014, https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8.

Link to the guidelines: https://www.ametsoc.org/ams/publications/author-information/formatting-and-manuscript-components/references/ (updated 28 July 2022)

From the guidelines:

Dataset authors/producers, data release year: Dataset title, version. Data archive/distributor, access date (DD Month YYYY), data locator/identifier (doi or URL).

Thanks for the report and for getting all the right information together.
I completely overhauled the style to make it more robust. Please test it out and let me know if you find any other issues:

Edit: The format is correct if I remove the DOI and edit the URL field to be "https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8" instead of "http://cera-www.dkrz.de/WDCC/ui/Compact.jsp?acronym=ETHr8" which was grabbed from DOI.org (Datacite) I guess (I used the magic wand to retrieve the item). I then get:

Knutti, R., 2014: IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot: The rcp85 experiment. DKRZ World Data Center for Climate, accessed 3 March 2025, https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8.

Thanks for testing. I had the order in a conditional wrong.

I get a slightly different format, but I guess it is possible to modify the item to get the expected output. I will try to illustrate what I mean. I get the information from the Zotero magic wand using the DOI (10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8). Here is the snapshot of the item:

Note both the DOI and URL fields are populated (10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8 and http://cera-www.dkrz.de/WDCC/ui/Compact.jsp?acronym=ETHr8 respectively). The style picks the URL field up and gives:

Knutti, R., 2014: IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot: The rcp85 experiment. DKRZ World Data Center for Climate, accessed 3 March 2025, http://cera-www.dkrz.de/WDCC/ui/Compact.jsp?acronym=ETHr8.

While the DOI is expected.

But as I said above, if I modify the URL to become https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8, it displays the expected output with the DOI. The item is now:

Which gives:

Knutti, R., 2014: IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot: The rcp85 experiment. DKRZ World Data Center for Climate, accessed 3 March 2025, https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHR8.

Or even better, from the translator on the webpage (https://www.wdc-climate.de/ui/entry?acronym=ETHr8), I get (the incorrect year aside):

Which gives:

Knutti, R., 2013: IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot: The rcp85 experiment. World Data Center for Climate (WDCC) at DKRZ, accessed 4 March 2025, https://doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/ETHr8.

So for me it looks fine. Thanks a lot.
