I’ve been having a lot of difficulty with the various citation management software packages based on the CSL language, as none has a built-in style that aligns with how we’ve always formatted our citations, particularly the sort order. <\/p>\n
From my understanding, what we want for citations by the same first author:
\n– single author pubs in chronological order (oldest first)
\n– multi-author pubs in chronological order (oldest first)<\/p>\n
This morning I finally did the research to come up with a solution that appears to work!<\/p>\n
This should sort all papers by their first author. Then within that, it sorts between single-author and multi-author papers. Within each of those categories it searches by year<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the macro section, add the following macro:<\/p>\n
<macro name=”Author-count”><\/p>\n
<names variable=”author”><\/p>\n
<name form=”count” et-al-min=”3″ et-al-use-first=”2″\/><\/p>\n
<\/names><\/p>\n
<\/macro><\/p>\n
Then, in the <bibliography> section, specify your sort as:<\/p>\n
<sort><\/p>\n
<key macro=”author-short” names-min=”2″ names-use-first=”1″\/><\/p>\n
<key macro=”Author-count”\/><\/p>\n
<key macro=”year”\/><\/p>\n
<\/sort><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) add a new macro<\/p>\n
– named author-count<\/p>\n
– add an element for names<\/p>\n
– add an element to names for variable ‘name’<\/p>\n
– under “form” select “count”<\/p>\n
– under “et-al-min” select “3”<\/p>\n
– under “et-al-use-first” select “2”<\/p>\n
2) under sort, first use a macro for “author-short”<\/p>\n
– specify “names-min” as “2”<\/p>\n
– specify “et-al-use-first as “1”<\/p>\n
3) under sort, then add a macro for “author-count”<\/p>\n
– leave all options blank (default)<\/p>\n
4) under sort, add a 3rd macro for “year”<\/p>\n
– leave all options blank (default)
