Citation style of Journal of Time Series Analysis

Question

I have been asked to use exactly the following citation style of the Journal of Time Series Analysis (JTSA) while writing a manuscript in LaTeX. I have tried several styles (e.g., cbe, apa, chicago, abbrvnat), but it seems that none of them are exactly what I want. Could anyone kindly tell me what package and style would be in this case?

Hello. This is no question for this site. You should probably head over to academia.stackexchange.com — thymaro, Jul 29 '19 at 17:36
Please bug your tutors and professors until they tell you which citation style it is, then you can go to the CSL repository and see if you can find it there. I thought there was a site where you could put in the style you wanted and it would try to find to which style it corresponds, but I can't find the site anymore. — thymaro, Jul 29 '19 at 17:50
@thymaro I don't see why this is off topic here, provided the OP wants to implement it in LaTeX. The question is too vague to be answered, since a single reference example massively underdetermines what the style might require. But as it stands this is a very standard Author/Year style with a bolded volume number. Quite simple to do with biblatex. And CSL repos aren't much help for LaTeX, since there aren't packages that implement them in LaTeX. — Alan Munn, Jul 29 '19 at 18:11
@shanks Welcome to the TeX.se. Unfortunately you haven't really provided enough information for us to answer your question. Bibliography styles are more complex than the format of an article entry. We can provide a way to format articles as you describe, but that won't solve all the other possible entry types. So you minimally need a better description of the actual style requirements. Is this for a particular journal? Do they have LaTeX support in the form of a .bst file for the journal specifically? — Alan Munn, Jul 29 '19 at 18:15
Thanks, @AlanMunn! I have seen that the Journal of Time Series Analysis uses the style I am asking for. — Shanks, Jul 29 '19 at 18:24
Close voters please read the comments before closing. This is absolutely not off topic. — Alan Munn, Jul 29 '19 at 19:52
@AlanMunn not anymore, it isn't. When I first commented on this, JTSA had not been added, and this is crucial information, as I am aware you know ;) now, there are even more examples, which makes the lives of potential answerers easier — thymaro, Jul 29 '19 at 22:47
@AlanMunn hmm, yes, I see the issue with CSL repo. Unfortunately, LaTeX doesn't make use of it (I understand this is probably beyond the scope of the L3 team atm and might also be too much for any one person to implement, I don't know how these things work). What I wanted to help with, is a starting point for OP to get the chance to provide us with the name of the CS, so a solution can be found in LaTeX. — thymaro, Jul 29 '19 at 22:54
@thymaro sorry but even without the missing information the question was clearly on topic. And we try not to close unclear questions immediately but instead leave comments asking for clarification. — Alan Munn, Jul 29 '19 at 23:01

The style examples given are only from journal articles, which severely underdetermines the style, but since that's the only information the journal webpage gives, we'll go with it. Maybe nobody cites other sources. :)

This is fairly simple to do with biblatex. I'm using the extended styles from the biblatex-ext styles to make some of the modifications simpler. As moewe notes in the comments, biblatex solutions are often not usable for journal submission using LaTeX (i.e., if the journal accepts TeX source documents, then a biblatex solution may cause problems.)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=ext-authoryear-comp,
    articlein=false,
    uniquename=init,
    giveninits=true,
    terseinits=true,
    ]{biblatex}

% make volume bold
\DeclareFieldFormat[article,periodical]{volume}{\mkbibbold{#1}}
% remove parentheses from year in bibliography
\DeclareFieldFormat{biblabeldate}{#1}
% remove quotes and pp. from article formatting
\DeclareFieldFormat[article,periodical]{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article,periodical]{pages}{#1}
% strict last-first name order
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
\renewcommand*{\revsdnamepunct}{}
% colon between volume and pages
\renewcommand*{\bibpagespunct}{\addcolon\addnbspace}
% period at the end of the last name
\DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nameyeardelim}{\addperiod\space}
% no 'and' in name lists in the bibliography
\DeclareDelimAlias*[bib]{finalnamedelim}[bib]{multinamedelim}
% no issue number
\AtEveryBibitem{\ifentrytype{article}{\clearfield{number}}{}}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
 \textcite{bertram}

 \textcite{herrmann}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

It should be noted that a publisher might not be able to accept a submission using biblatex. Firstly, their system might be too old for some of the features that you need (biblatex-ext is relatively new and is for example not available on Overleaf or the arXiv, I suspect many publishers have similarly old systems). Secondly, even if their system has the features you need, there could still be other version incompatibilities if the publisher expects the .bbl instead of the .bib file. The .bbl file is tightly coupled to the particular biblatex/Biber version that produced it. ... — moewe, Jul 30 '19 at 05:55
... Thirdly, the publisher's workflow might rely on the 'ready-to-typeset' .bbl files produced by BibTeX instead of the 'pre-digested raw data' .bbl file for biblatex. See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/12175/35864 — moewe, Jul 30 '19 at 06:03
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/14679892/homepage/forauthors.html says that the Journal of Time Series Analysis uses ScholarOne Manuscripts. The checklist in ScholarOne's Author LaTex File Upload Guide contains the item Files were generated using pdfTeX Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13, TeXLive 2012 or earlier versions. That doesn't bode well for biblatex (version 2.0 of biblatex was released after the 2012 freeze, we're at v3.12 now). — moewe, Jul 30 '19 at 06:06
@moewe Thanks. I've updated the code to reflect your comments. — Alan Munn, Jul 30 '19 at 11:16
