Any other common citation formats wanted? I'm going to be having a go at the Science format, as it looks interesting and a bit different. PNAS would be nice but I can't find a good description of it...
Any others - with URLs to the formatting rules please!
I'm a believer in standardizing the mess that is citation formatting, so seeing the CSE styles supported would be great, particularly the name-year system. I haven't seen the new guide, but a lucid enough description of both the numbered and the name-year, along with a guide to the reference list, appears here:
http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c11_o.html
The Council of Science Editors book is:
Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7th ed., 2006).
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 However, the names of all authors must be given in the list of references.Personal communications and other unpublished works must be included in the reference list, giving full contact details (name and address of communicator).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.
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).
Articles in journals
Standard Journal article: Woelbern T, Eckhorn R, Frien A, Bauer R. Perceptual grouping correlates with short synchronization in monkey prestriate cortex. NeuroReport 2002; 13: 1881–1886.
More than six authors: Perani D, Paulesu E, Galles NS, Dupoux E, Dehaene S, Bettinardi V et al. The bilingual brain: proficiency and age of acquisition of the second language. Brain 1998; 121: 1841–1852.
Supplements: Dean RT, Wilcox I. Possible atherogenic effects of hypoxia during sleep apnea. Sleep 1993; 16 (Suppl 8): S15–S21.
Book: Carew TJ, Kelly DB. Perspectives in neural systems and behaviour. Chichester: Wiley; 1990.
Chapter in a book: Keynes RJ and Stern DC. The development of neural segmentation in vertebrate embryos. In: Parnavelas JG, Stern CD, Stirling RV (eds). The making of the nervous system. Oxford: Oxford University Press; 1988. pp. 116–130.
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 Romanian standard known as: SR ISO 690-2:2001
Journal of Bacteriology done - although I had trouble understanding some of the formats so it only works well for journal articles and book chapters. If you can try it out and tell me whats missing I can make some changes.
I find ISO 690 rather hard to read and understand - and only parts of it are in the web.
If anyone has more details...
I strongly vote for ISO 690:1978 and ISO 690-2 - which is an extension covering electronic sources. These are in fact major standards used at European universities and the only and mandatory citation styles in many EU member states.
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.
My post in this discussion on October 12 has this link to the style, http://aag.org/Publications/Annals/annalsweb3.html. It's based on Chicago Manual of Style ( CMS ).
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.
codec: the AAG style guide is here [pdf]. I can help out with it as well, at least to look over it, so ideally you'd load it in the Zotero SVN (which I think I have write access to; will have to find out!).
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):

Thank you !

2. Possibility to easily create your own styles in a GUI.

This would make Zotero just about perfect.

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.

bdarcus, have you had a chance to work on it or know of anyone else who might have?
