Style Request: Insect Conservation and Diversity

This follows up on a December post by a different user (so perhaps the style is already being worked on?) and adds the requested information. The other post: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/110336/looking-for-harvard-date-citation-style/p1.

Thanks!
  • This is a pretty close match: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:ecological-entomology only different I noted is the location of the page numbers for chapters -- we can likely fix this globally.
    Note that the journal has free format submissions, so they don't particular care about details of the reference style.

    I've just created this custom style. But the guidelines are not in line with actual published papers. I've adapted the style for journal articles, but due to lack of examples of books and chapters I didn't change the style much for other item types.
    If you get some corrections, let us know and I'm happy to get a fix up.

  • Hi! @damnation,
    Thank you so much for the custom style! Here I am in 2025, looking to publish in Wiley's Insect Conservation and Diversity journal, but I still can't find their version of Harvard in Zotero. They have updated some things which I'll add below. I was wondering if you could get a fix up? Thank you very much!!

    Updates:
    In the running text, citations should be made as per the following examples. For up to two authors, give the surnames separated by ‘&’. For more than two authors, give the surname of the first author followed by ‘et al.’

    As part of the sentence: Fox (2013), or Stork & Hammond (2013), or Didham et al. (2013).

    When in parentheses: (Didham et al., 2013; Fox, 2013; Stork & Hammond, 2013).

    If the reference would require the same author abbreviation but different years: Leather et al. (2008, 2011) or (Leather et al., 2008, 2011).
