Help Requested with Finance and Economic Journal Styles

I'm a complete newbie, and I have tried to create styles for a number of journals: Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, and Review of Financial Studies.

Unfortunately the validation process forced me to remove the option to have papers with 4 or more authors cited with "et al" at the end.

Also, I am using Mendeley and noticed that it includes a "Working Paper" option. In my csl code, I assumed that working papers were "Reports". When selecting "Reports" in Mendeley, I could not get the words "Working paper" or the authors' institution to appear, even though everything displays correctly in the The Zotero Reference Test pane.

For example, the bibliographical citation: Brennan, Michael J, Tarun Chordia, Avanidhar Subrahmanyam, and Qing Tong, 2009, Sell-side illiquidity and the cross-section of expected stock returns.

should be

Brennan, Michael J, Tarun Chordia, Avanidhar Subrahmanyam, and Qing Tong, 2009, Sell-side illiquidity and the cross-section of expected stock returns, Working paper, UCLA and Emory.

I have posted my Gists at gisthub:

Feel free to edit my files and resubmit to gisthub, as I'm kind of out of time for doing this.
  • I'll take a look. As for the et-al issue - from your validation it looks like you tried to use <option name="...
    that was for csl 0.8.1 in csl 1.0 those options all get included as attributes to the cs:citation element, e.g.

    <citation et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" disambiguate-add-names="true" disambiguate-add-givenname="true" collapse="year" givenname-disambiguation-rule="primary-name>

    Working paper in Mendeley gets mapped to article-journal, which I believe is a mistake on their part, I'd recommend getting in touch with them on that issue.
  • All of these are up now - checked and updated. They rely a bit more on affixes than would be ideal, so if someone wants to clean them up that'd be great, but in general they work nicely. Thanks again.
