A Zotero style for ACS references with titles
Zotero, the must-have reference manager for scientists, supports various bibliography styles. This is benefited from the CSL (citation style language), which is an open XML standard for citations and bibliographies. Since Zotero is implemented as a Firefox addon, it naturally supports search and grab references from the internet, which is very convenient and better than some other stand-alone reference managers.
Zotero has a CSL editor. It can be invoked by entering “chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul” as the url in Firefox. Here has a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a new csl style. There is also a GUI program which can edit and create a CSL file, it is CSLedit.
During my work, I used the style for American Chemical Society journals found in the Zotero style repository, but the article’s title does not show up in the bibliography. Thanks to the flexibility of CSL, I can simply edit and save a new csl file which shows the titles. It can be downloaded here in case you are curious what it is and how it is different from the default one.
