Looking for slightly modified Harvard style
I have trawled through much of the style repository and have yet to find the one I'm looking for. Strangely enough it is apparently called "Harvard style" although there seem to be many variants of this. Basically I want to citation to look like this:
(Wyke and Landman, 1997: 223)
i.e. a combination of comma after the author name, and colon after the year for the page number.
The bibliographic output is fairly standard and there are styles that do this already:
Jones, E. (1988). A book about something. Publisher, Place of publication.
I need a citation style that generates the right citation in the text....
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Ian

Many thanks for your quick reply. I can't find any that fit my need.
The style "Harvard - adapted for Leeds Met" is the closest. It generates this:
(Gray & Leyland, 2009, p.222)
I need something that generates this:
(Gray and Leyland, 2009: 222)
NOTE: The '&' is replaced with 'and', and the ', p.' is replaced with ':'
Many thanks
I don't have time to make a whole bunch of piecemeal changes later - basically you get one stab at telling me what you want ;-)
To be honest, I can't find a suitable style that's even close to what I need.
The in-text citation should be: (Gray and Leyland, 2009: 222)
But the bibliography is different to anything I can find:
The report I'm writing (for the National Health Service in Scotland) has these requirements, and gives examples:
Here are examples:
4.8.1 Books
Jones, E. (1988). A book about something. Publisher, Place of publication.
Mueller, P., Frankly, P. and Graham, U. (1999). This is a book title in italics. Publisher, Place of publication.
4.8.2 Chapters
Smith, J. and Sharkey, N. (1999). ‘This is a chapter in an edited volume’ in Parker, JK. (ed). This is the title of Parker’s edited volume. Publisher, Place of publication.
4.8.3 Periodicals
Miller, A., Stokes, P., Franks, O. and Garland, T. (1989). This is a journal article title. This is the full journal name in italics, 7(2): 14-21.
Not sure what to do! - Appreciate your help!

Don't worry about the in-text citation at all, those are quick to fix however they look.
Maybe have a look at
Social Studies of Science
or
American Psychological Association 5th ed.

-Insert period after year of publication.

download the style by right-clicking and "save as" on the "Raw" link on the top right.
Install the style by dragging the file "nhs-scotland.csl" to any open Firefox window and OK when prompted. Let me know how it goes.
I have had a look. Just a few things are not quite right yet.
For journals, it needs a full stop (period) after the journal name, instead of a comma.
The in-text citation at the moment is:
(Gray & Leyland, 2009, 23)
This should be:
(Gray and Leyland, 2009: 23)
i.e. '&' should be 'and', and there should be a colon instead of a comma after the year of publication.
Would be amazing if you could make these slight modifications. This could then be uploaded as the official National Health Service Scotland style!
Many thanks
many thanks.
Is it possible to get the "et al" which appears when there are multiple authors, to be in italics? This isn't really a big deal because I can just do find and replace...but just wondered??
Many thanks for all your help. Very kind.
I am searching for a modified Harvard style used to the International Endodontic Journal. The citation format is as follows (from Endonote):
http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyledetail.asp?SORT=2&PAGE=1&METH=0&DISC=none&JOUR=endod&BSRT=none&FF1=none&FF2=none&FF3=none&CITE=none&DKEY=642010505035AA
and the IEJ lists the following as it's requirements as below:
Hopefully someone out there can help.

In the text: single or double authors should be acknowledged together with the year of publication, e.g. (Pitt Ford & Roberts 1990). If more than two authors the first author followed by et al. is sufficient, e.g. (Tobias et al. 1991).
Reference list: All references should be brought together at the end of the paper in alphabetical order and should be in the following form.
(i) Names and initials of up to six authors. When there are seven or more, list the first three and add et al.
(ii)Year of publication in parentheses
(iii) Full title of paper followed by a full stop (.)
(iv) Title of journal in full (in italics)
(v) Volume number (bold) followed by a comma (,)
(vi) First and last pages
Examples of correct forms of reference follow:

please start a separate thread with that.
Obviously point 2) on that page is the crucial part.
This looks pretty close to APA maybe?
