Upgrade StorageSpringer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) Style Request
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has created the style for Springer LNCS,
the style format can be found at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0
and is approximately like:

I would really be grateful to anyone who creates this style.
Thank you

Have a look at the IEEE style and let us know what's different.
I faced the same problem, and tried to solve it by creating the LNCS style.
However it isn't complete yet, but it solved my problem:
http://www.box.net/shared/gmu80k4fvx
If someone has the time to further enhance it, we can post it in the repository, because Springer is one of the best publishers in Germany, and many people would need this style.
What I would need is a list of all differences between your style and the desired outcome.
so the basic stuff are there. and as for the list of differences, maybe LNCS_Request can provide it. ;)
Added to the repository - please post any problems here.
I added the style Springer LNCS (dev) from the styles page, when I try to switch to it from an already working OpenOffice.org document having Zotero IEEE Style, it says "An error occurred communicating with Zotero. Please ensure Firefox is open and try again." while Firefox is already running!
In addition I can change the style to other styles like Chicago Manual of Style.
I am using OpenOffice.org 3.1.1, Zotero 1.0.10 and Firefox 3.5.7 on Windows XP.
Otherwise:

And here is another strange thing, I started a new document and cited some references using the Springer LNCS (dev) style. Everything was OK till I inserted a bibliography section, then I received the same error message. I changed the style to another one, then I could insert a bibliography section smoothly. This gave me idea, I went back to my old document and removed the bibliography section, and then I could change the style to Springer LNCS (dev) quietly, and when I tried to reinsert the bibliography section, again received the same error message!
Dan - once it's there - anything helpful?

that should be group delimiter I guess?
- use Journal Abbr instead of full Journal Title
- use In: <conference name> rather than the proceedings title
I'm not clear that conference name is preferable to proceedings title. I would guess if the proceedings are published and the title is different from the conference, that's what should be used.
If there are no published proceedings, you should use presentation instead.

You're probably right that if proceedings title exists, that takes precedence. But if it doesn't exist, the current style doesn't seem to fall back to conference name, and not with the "In:" prefix that LNCS wants.
Numbers 2 and 6 in the bibliography seem like they just use conference names. Number 2 also lists proceedings editors, and I've no idea how to enter that in Zotero either.
If there is a published volume of conference papers, its title should go into the proceedings title, even if it's the same as the conference title. These are essentially like edited book volumes and many styles just treat them like book sections/chapters without defining a separate style for papers in conference proceedings - and that only works if the title is in the proceedings field.
If there is no published volume, I'm not sure what Springer wants, (all examples we have are published) but then the the item should be "Presentation".
So I'm not inclined to change this.
You're right about editors, I was confused.
For a conference paper, LNCS seems to be missing a space between page numbers and publisher.

Oh, and if I have both a conference name and a proceedings title, APA 6th uses both, as below.

- I have a Book Section; I'm getting no space between the pages and the publisher (300-325John Wiley)
- When I have multiple citations ( [19,29,31] ) there's no space between them. The LNCS volume I have in front of me formats those as [19, 29, 31].
Is it possible to fix these 2 things?
Thanks!
Also, the multiple citations problem is in the "LNCS Sorted" version - you're right, it isn't in the "plain not-sorted" one.
1) There is an extra white-space in front of the first author. This leeds to a ragged left margin.
2) The colon after the list of authors is missing.
Is there a chance for a quick fix? Otherwise I have to hack it myself! :-)
Style issues keep piling up... sigh.
