Update style preview data
rmzelle opened this issue · 7 comments
With the new citation previews (#31), space in the popups is at a premium. @adam3smith, how about dropping the newspaper article and patent examples from https://github.com/zotero/styles-repo/blob/master/include/data/previews.json? Aren't journal-article, book, and chapter the most important item types anyway? Would be less busy too.
(also, but less importantly, I realized that the journal article is paywalled; maybe we could select an open access one?)
Agree with all three suggesions, yes. @dstillman let me know if you're OK with that and I'll make a PR with the respective changed item set.
Additionally, I think it'd make sense to show a single citation instead of 5 (or 3) individual ones (i.e. (1-3) instead of (1)\n (2)\n(3)): that way, users can also see delimiters and sort order.
I think it'd make sense to show a single citation instead of ... individual ones
Agreed. Would also save space.
@dstillman let me know if you're OK with that
Sure.

Done.
@adam3smith, instead of the Kötter & Ciriacy paper (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00167144), how about:
Gordon JL, Byrne KP, Wolfe KH (2011) Mechanisms of Chromosome Number Evolution in Yeast. PLoS Genet 7(7): e1002190. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1002190
(http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1002190)
Considerations:
- number of authors (3 seems good)
- journal title that can be abbreviated (check)
- short simple title (check)
- open access (check)
If you can find a better/more famous/funnier article, that's of course fine too ("Cannibalism in Tyrannosaurus rex", http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0013419 ?)
P.S. Scratch the T. rex paper. It's in PLoS ONE, and that journal title doesn't abbreviate, so it's a poor choice.
Or would it make more sense to use the Campbell & Pedersen paper and Mares chapter? I'd hate to forfeit the current life sciences items in exchange for some economics mumbo-jumbo 😜, but it would align nicely with https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles and http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/.
@adam3smith, if you let me know your opinion, I'd be happy to prep the PR.
was going to do it this weekend, but also don't have strong opinion. I
think in addition to book, chapter, and journal article, a webpage would be
good. I like the article you suggested, don't see why we need to use the
same items as in the CSL editor. We should make sure that they are neither
in chronological nor alphabetical order, so that the sort order can be
inferred from the sample.
