IOPscience journals
rmzelle opened this issue · 9 comments
IOPscience offers a nice spreadsheet for its journals, available at http://iopscience.iop.org/page/content (look for "download a spreadsheet"). However, except for two of its journals, IOPscience offers authors the choice between an author-date and a numeric citation style variant. See http://authors.iop.org/atom/help.nsf/0/BB0C7FB81A28560B8025701F005AA63E?OpenDocument#_Toc6 . We already have CSL styles for both variants:

@adam3smith, @cparnot, does either one of you have an opinion on whether we should add dependents for all IOPscience journals, and if so, which variant we should pick? We currently seem to have only a single dependent for the Journal of Physics A (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/dependent/journal-of-physics-a.csl), pointing to the numeric variant.
If you generate the list for the IOP journals, I'll be happy to run the script. For the citation format, I suggest we make style for just the numeric alternative. To make it easy to change, we just need a column 'Citation' in the tab-delimited list, that we can then set in the template. I'll be happy to set that up as well from the list.
If I knew which of the 2 journals does not leave a choice, I'd generate the list.

OK, I am on it.
Apparently "The Astronomical Journal (AJ) and The Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) (the main journal (Part 1), the Letters (Part 2), and the Supplement Series)" follow a different style:
http://aas.org/authors/manuscript-preparation-aj-apj-author-instructions#references
We had a dependent for one of these 4: citation-style-language/styles@9e9431c#diff-62
Good catch! Now fixed in commit citation-style-language/styles@b8f0d0f
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but your citation style for the astrophysical journal is wrong. It uses numbers, rather than following this document: http://aas.org/authors/manuscript-preparation-aj-apj-author-instructions#references (essentially author-date). Is there a way around this?
Is the "Institute of Physics (Harvard)" style close?
Sort of. I ended up starting with the Chicago style manual, and editing it down to the astrophysical journal. There is still an issue with Journal names, which the ApJ requires be randomly abbreviated, but I may just have to go and manually edit the journal name in the metadata of the articles I'm working with.
Here is a link to my edited style: http://csl.mendeley.com/styles/22937361/ApJ-RH
