BMC is now covered by Springer list

Okay, I checked BMC: all active BMC journals are covered with the new list except two which I will add to the extra together with Insectes Sociaux in #32. Some have different parents but it seems that the information from this Springer list is more accurate resp. up-to-date.

Should we delete the bmc folder or just mentioned that it is not necessary anymore?

Some BMC journals ceased publications:

  • aquatic-biosystems.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://aquaticbiosystems.biomedcentral.com/
  • biology-of-mood-and-anxiety-disorders.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://biolmoodanxietydisord.biomedcentral.com/
  • bmc-medical-physics.csl --> "ceased to be published by BioMed Central in 2015" http://bmcmedphys.biomedcentral.com/
  • cough.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://coughjournal.biomedcentral.com/
  • genome-integrity.csl --> "ceased to be published by BioMed Central as of June 2014" http://genomeintegrity.biomedcentral.com/
  • herpesviridae.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://herpesviridae.biomedcentral.com/
  • journal-of-clinical-bioinformatics.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://jclinbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/
  • journal-of-systems-chemistry.csl --> "was discontinued in 2015 and no longer receives submissions" http://jsystchem.springeropen.com/
  • longevity-and-healthspan.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://longevityandhealthspan.biomedcentral.com/
  • microbial-informatics-and-experimentation.csl --> "no longer receives submissions" http://microbialinformaticsj.biomedcentral.com/
  • the-hugo-journal.csl --> "ceased to be published with SpringerOpen" http://thehugojournal.springeropen.com/

Other journals changed the publisher:

  • international-archives-of-medicine.csl --> Wikipedia: "It was established in 2008 and published by BioMed Central until the end of 2014. Starting in 2015, the journal is being published by iMed.pub" http://www.intarchmed.com/
  • journal-of-brachial-plexus-and-peripheral-nerve-injury.csl --> http://www.thieme.com/books-main/orthopaedic-surgery/product/2201-journal-of-brachial-plexus-and-peripheral-nerve-injury
  • journal-of-molecular-signaling.csl --> "The Editors are delighted to announce the re-launch of Journal of Molecular Signaling in partnership with a new publisher. After eight successful years with Biomed Central, from January 2015 the journal will be published with Ubiquity Press." http://www.jmolecularsignaling.com/

Unclear:

  • bmc-proceedings.csl --> ? http://bmcproc.biomedcentral.com/

What should happen to these CSL files?

definitely delete all discontinued styles. I'd suggest also deleting "wrong" ones and creating tickets for them.

I'm also in favor of deleting the bmc folder. @rmzelle ?

adam3smith avatar Mar 29 '16 04:03 adam3smith

Yes to all suggestions. (not sure it's necessary to create tickets for all journals that moved away from BMC, though)

rmzelle avatar Mar 30 '16 02:03 rmzelle

Okay, I will do these steps then (this is mostly a reminder for myself):

  • [x] Delete all 15 journals from BMC which ceased publication or changed to another publisher in https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/tree/master/dependent
  • [ ] ~~List the 11 journals which ceased publications in renamed-styles.json (Right? NO!)~~
  • [x] Delete the bmc folder in https://github.com/citation-style-language/journals/

Moreover, these journals changed the publisher and we may want to deal with that further:

  • [x] international-archives-of-medicine.csl --> Wikipedia: "It was established in 2008 and published by BioMed Central until the end of 2014. Starting in 2015, the journal is being published by iMed.pub" http://www.intarchmed.com/ --> okay, that should be connected to vancouver now
  • [x] journal-of-brachial-plexus-and-peripheral-nerve-injury.csl --> http://www.thieme.com/books-main/orthopaedic-surgery/product/2201-journal-of-brachial-plexus-and-peripheral-nerve-injury --> "References must be listed in AMA style, using Index Medicus journal title abbreviations. References must be cited sequentially (NOT alphabetically) in the text using superscript numbers. By way of exception to AMA style, do not italicize book titles or journal title abbreviations and do not put a period at the end of a reference. List all author names, up to and including six names. For more than six authors, list the first three followed by et al.", i.e. modified AMA similar (but not the same) to https://www.zotero.org/styles/clinical-gastroenterology-and-hepatology?source=1
  • [ ] journal-of-molecular-signaling.csl --> "The Editors are delighted to announce the re-launch of Journal of Molecular Signaling in partnership with a new publisher. After eight successful years with Biomed Central, from January 2015 the journal will be published with Ubiquity Press." http://www.jmolecularsignaling.com/
  • [x] bmc-proceedings.csl --> http://bmcproc.biomedcentral.com/ --> no current statement about the style and therefore deleted as well

List the 11 journals which ceased publications in renamed-styles.json (Right?)

no, we agreed on the Elsevier thread that that's not necessary for dependent styles.

adam3smith avatar Mar 30 '16 14:03 adam3smith

We could bring it up on xbiblio-devel, but yeah, I think it's only really necessary to include styles identifiers in renamed-styles.json for journals that either changed title (it happens) or for which we changed the title/ID in our metadata.

rmzelle avatar Mar 30 '16 14:03 rmzelle

The last one "Journal of molecular signaling" uses IMO a strange reference style:

Journal Articles:

  1. Fletcher D, Wagstaff CRD. Organisational psychology in elite sport: its emergence, application and future. Psychol Sport Exerc. 2009;10(4):427-34. doi:10.1016/j.psychsport.2009.03.009
  2. Sanger F, Nicklen S, Coulson AR (1977) DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 74: 5463-5467.

Thus, the position of the year depends on whether the journal article has a doi or not??

Do you have seen anything similar before?

zuphilip avatar Mar 31 '16 18:03 zuphilip

I'm pretty sure they don't mean that. I looked at a couple of examples, and they have the first style in the PDFs (so I'd go with that) and the 2nd one in the html version (of the same article). I don't understand why, but I'd just go with 1., which has the additional advantage of being pretty standard Vancouver.

adam3smith avatar Mar 31 '16 18:03 adam3smith

Hm... The most current article from them http://www.jmolecularsignaling.com/articles/10.5334/1750-2187-11-1/galley/268/download/ is even using some slight variants (bold italics, commas, spaces) to the guidelines.

Actually, I don't want to spend more time on this at the moment and maybe they will update and clarify their rules in the future. Thus, I will left the Journal of molecular signaling without a CSL style for the moment.

I've just contacted the editors for Journal of Molecular Signaling as their author guidelines and also citation style in various publications still seems messy. Let's see if/what they answer. If not I'll put something together that seems like the common denominator between most of their publications?

POBrien333 avatar Jan 23 '17 17:01 POBrien333

HI gang, Just looking at this request here and it looks like health-research-policy-and-systems just follows the "old" biomed-central style and not one of the Springer styles: https://health-policy-systems.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines/preparing-your-manuscript and for an article: https://health-policy-systems.biomedcentral.com/articles

Shall I just make a dependent for that?


Independent style for Journal of Molecular Signaling was created on 26/07/2017: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/2841
