format for Marine Policy journal invalid

dmk · March 25, 2011

I just uploaded to SVN a zotero style for the journal Marine Policy. On the Zotero Citation Styles page, Marine Policy appears, but it is listed as invalid, probably because I have made some minor error (I have checked that the format generally works).

I know this is lazy, but I haven't set up all the stuff to validate csl files and find out where the error lies. Would someone who has be willing to give it a run and tell me what is out of place?

Thanks,
David

thanks for contributing - though you should really validate before submitting through SVN - with the online validator you don't need to set up anything and it takes 2mins.

In this case
<link>
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/30453/authorinstructions
</link>

needs to be

<link>href="http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/30453/authorinstructions" rel="documentation"</link>

you also need an updated field - you an put in any date - the repository will put the most recent date in (I think you can actually just put in an empty field, too, but you need to put in something.

@adamsmith: I guess you didn't validate that link element.

@dmk: you should use

<link href="http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/30453/authorinstructions" rel="documentation" />

ugh. sorry.

Thanks for this and again sorry for being lazy (or busy...). You mentioned the online validator, which I don't think was available when I last did this. Could someone just point me to where that is and in the future I will do this myself?

Cheers,
David
