PLOS Computational Biology (and PLOS) show an example journal article reference of:

  1. Hou WR, Hou YL, Wu GF, Song Y, Su XL, Sun B, et al. cDNA, genomic sequence cloning and overexpression of ribosomal protein gene L9 (rpL9) of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). Genet Mol Res. 2011;10: 1576-1588.

  2. Devaraju P, Gulati R, Antony PT, Mithun CB, Negi VS. Susceptibility to SLE in South Indian Tamils may be influenced by genetic selection pressure on TLR2 and TLR9 genes. Mol Immunol. 2014 Nov 22. pii: S0161-5890(14)00313-7. doi: 10.1016/j.molimm.2014.11.005.

Note that publisher information is not included (at least when container-title is known). However, we find here that the publisher is included (in this case "Oxford University Press"):

  1. Khare R, Good BM, Leaman R, Su AI, Lu Z. Crowdsourcing in biomedicine: challenges and opportunities. Brief Bioinform. Oxford University Press; 2016;17: 23–32. doi:10.1093/bib/bbv021

Is it possible for the following to be conditional, in a way that would omit showing publisher when type is article-journal and container-title is available:

styles/plos.csl

Line 305 in 76e2ff8

<text macro="publisher"/>

I wouldn’t pay any attention to that example. Journal articles in PLOS journals don’t generally, if ever, include publishers. There is no reason for the inconsistency in the examples here.

Note that container-title is the title of the journal, so the conditional you propose would always be true.

@bwiernik -- I don't understand (or maybe you're misreading the issue -- the example with publisher is not from PLOS but from our style for PLOS).
It's not uncommon for journal article metadata to include the publisher (pubmed, CrossRef). In some countries (such as Brazil) it's even included in the citation. The problem is that our styles have assumed for a very long time the Zotero data model which doesn't have a publisher for journal articles and so we're getting this.

I'd add a much more general publisher conditional that removes it entirely from journal, magazine, and newspaper articles (at a minimum)

Yes, that’s right. Sorry—I misread the issue as quoting example citations.
