What other citation formats would you like Zotero to generate?
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.

The Council of Science Editors book is:
Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7th ed., 2006).
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/309/authorinstructions?navopenmenu=4
The basic format is like this:
Li and Gregory (2006) -The date of publication in parentheses after the authors' names.References must be listed together at the end of each paper and must not be given as footnotes. For other than review papers authors should aim to give no more than 20-30 recent, relevant references. They must be listed alphabetically starting with the surname of the first author, ( year ) followed by the title of the referenced paper and the full name of the periodical, as follows:
Li, G. and Gregory, J. (2006) Flocculation and sedimentation of high-turbidity waters. Water Research 25(9), 1137-1143.
More details:
---------------
It is particularly requested that (i) authors' initials, (ii) the title of the paper, and (iii) the volume, part number and first and last page numbers are given for each reference.
References to books, reports and theses must be cited in the narrative. They must include the author(s), date of publication, title of book, editor(s) name(s) if applicable, page numbers, name of publisher, and place of publication. The abbreviation et al. may be used in the text. However, the names of all authors must be given in the list of references.Personal communications and other unpublished works must be included in the reference list, giving full contact details (name and address of communicator).
Personal communications must be cited in the text as, for example, Champney (2006).
AND FINALLY
The list at the end of document should be ordered alphabetically.
Many thanks for your time and effort!
I've uploaded it to the trac harvard entry.

ZOTERO is great!. Just waiting for more citation formats!!
References
Include not more than 25 references. Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first cited in the text, using Arabic numerals in square brackets, e.g. [17]. Include the names of all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first six names and add et al. References should also include full title and source information. Abbreviate journal names as in the Index Medicus (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lsiou.html).

Do not include personal communications and unpublished work in the reference list; cite them in parentheses in the text, with the permission of their author(s). Include unpublished work accepted for publication but not yet released in the reference list with the words ‘in press’ in parentheses beside the name of the journal concerned. Verify all references against the original documents.
ISO 690 Documentation. Bibliographic references. Content, form and structure
CAN Classification: U03
ICS Classification: 01.140.20
Romanian standard known as: SR ISO 690:1996
ISO 690-2 Information and documentation -- Bibliographic references -- as it is used widely in Romania as a standard and because is a well known and adopted standard.
CAN Classification: U03
ICS Classification: 01.140.20

Thank you !

1. Ecology (and family), Journal of Ecology (and family), Ecology Letters, Oikos, Oecologia.
2. Possibility to easily create your own styles in a GUI.

This would make Zotero just about perfect.
I find ISO 690 rather hard to read and understand - and only parts of it are in the web.
If anyone has more details...
and most of all; an end-user interface for style creation; it would transfer that matter from the zotero dev to the zotero community which is bigger.

I agree that guidelines at collectionscanada are a bit hard to read but examples at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/iso/tc46sc9/standard/690-2ex.htm are pretty easy to understand.
Any Library and Information Sc. department at EU University (including ours) could be at your service when it comes to testing and development of this export style. I'll be happy to assist you, don't hesitate to contact me directly. Sorry for not posting links and guides, but our pre-compiled versions are at this moment not in English, will look into it deeper if needed. Let me know.
One last note - ISO comes in two "flavors" - as a numeric reference and a reference according to the first element and date. Both are created equal and should be covered in ISO690 aware application as two separate styles.
bdarcus, have you had a chance to work on it or know of anyone else who might have?
The next post was from bdarcus who is the author of CSL and happens to be a geographer. He said he would create the style. If he's already done it I'm sure it would be much better than what I could do. I'd like to find out if he has done it before putting too much more work into it myself.

journal, document, ...?
Very important for Germany is the national standard: "DIN 1505 T.2" Many universities and other public institutions require this citation style (or something very similar to it).
Further information, you find in the document (in german):
http://www.bui.fh-hamburg.de/pers/klaus.lorenzen/ASP/litverz.pdf
her the link to DIN 1505 bibtex style:

Thank you
Gerald
An updated Bibtex style of DIN 1505 T.2 (comments in english) is available here:

I think the German format is too hard - I don't read German very well and the bibtex format doesn't really help.
