The mandatory style for an (accredited) mainly online university.

Yes, I know this is a ridiculously insufficient stylesheet, and yes, I've argued with every professor to let me use an actual *standard*, but this is what I'm stuck with as an MBA student, and I really want to be able to use Zotero.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give. {Jonathan}

I can look into generating a style and offer it in my webshop.
However, the guidelines for the bibliography are pretty straight forward, but I'm really not understanding the in-text citations. "(Mares)" is actually what they want?
What about if you cite two papers by Mares?
And what about a paper by two authors? Our Campbell and Pedersen example is given exactly for that, so we can see how that should look based on the guidelines.

The key part for in-text is this:

When crediting a source in your writing, you label it with a number, or in-text citation. If it is the first source you're using, the label will be a (1). If it is the second source you write about, it will be a (2), and so on.

but this is combined with the first author, so you'd have:

(Campbell, 1) and (Mares, 2) in the example above. It's unclear to me how you'd handle citations to multiple works; I'd just delimit with semicolon, so (Campbell, 1; Mares, 2). 1 and 2 here, for the avoidance of doubt, are citation-number
