Upgrade StorageSmall update request: eLife
I have two minor requests for updates in the eLife style. I'm hoping you could please help me with this.
1.) The journal eLife does not feature abbreviations for journals in reference lists, yet the Zotero style will place the abbreviated title in references. Example:
Hisakata R, Nishida S, Johnston A. 2016. An adaptable metric shapes perceptual space. Curr Biol 26:1911–1915. doi:10.1016/j.cub.2016.05.047
2.) When inserting a book chapter without editors listed, the reference will appear as follows:
Hogue CWV. 2001. Structure DatabasesBioinformatics. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. pp. 83–109. doi:10.1002/0471223921.ch5
Is it possible to add 'In:' between the book section title and the book title when there is not an editor listed?
Thank you,

I had thought that instead of updating (because with eLife there is no current style guide/webpage outlining the style) I could add in a new style. My reading interpretation of the guidance was that I should set this be a dependent style - however, I had some errors.
Should I try to edit the eLife style instead of create a new style?
Thanks for your help,
