Style Request: Journal of Literary Theory (de Gruyter)

tucidide19
Hi,
I've been browsing the citation styles on the database but I couldn't find anything similar to this:

Citation:
(Meier 1990, 55)
(ibid., 43)

Bibliography:
Althaus, Albert, Monograph, Cambridge, MA 1993.
–, Publication by the Same Author, Göttingen 2008.
Cresspahl, Christiane, Article in a Journal, Journal Title 3:1 (1867), 3–4.
Förster, Franz, Article in an Anthology, in: Diana Diekmann/Ernst Erdmeier (ed.), Anthology, Berlin/New York 1981, 45–54.
Gärtner, Gerd, Article Published Online, Name of Online Journal 5 (2008), www.complete-url.com/all-details (25.8.2009).

Can you think of any style that could be easily modified into this format? (Especially the bibliography looks very different from the author-date styles I've seen.)
Thank you very much!
Marco

    You're right, there is no author date style that's even somewhat similar: For obvious reasons, author-date styles tend to have the date right after the author in the bibliography.
    I'd look at other styles and see if one of them looks good - Adding a different citation section is fast (although I don't think we currently have an author-date style that uses ibid, either).
    Nothing comes to mind immediately, though. Look for a style with lots of commas as delimiters, those are usually the most work to change - don't worry about things like the --- for subsequent authors in the bib - that's (not even) one line of code.

    I've just realized that Vienna Legal might be close to the style I'm looking for--but 1) it displays only the last names in the bibliography and 2) it doesn't seem to have in-text citations. Or at least they are very different from the (author date, page) format.
    Now I have to figure out how to modify the citation sector, but it looks quite complicated, any hint about that? Thanks again!

    you can also request a style, but that takes some time:
