Submitting Neurochemistry International

Hi,
I'm quite new to Zotero, but I was able to modify a style for the journal Neurochemistry International from Cell Journal.
I didn't submitted yet, I would rather prefer first to be sure it's fine. (and in fact, I never did that, I want to be sure it's ok)
Question #1: I just modify "article", do I have to do it also books? (I didn't need it for my project)
Question #2: Does someone could verify syntax about sorting multi-citations? I'm not sure about it, it seems to works, but it didn't made exhaustive testing. It have to be sort by year and after by author.
Thanks,
Mel

  • OK, it's up. Sorting looks OK, it's common to put this after rather than before the "option-name" part, but that's just customary.
    Only other thing I had to change was to remove the (dev) after the name - that gets added automatically by the repository.

    The more complete a style the better, so if you get a chance to do book and book chapter, that'd be great.
  • Replaced by a style dependent on elsevier-harvard.csl.
