Incorrect citation style?

Staranaise

Hey there

I think I've discovered an error in a reference style.

When I made my bibiography in NZVJ style, Zotero abbreviates the journal name. However, for this journal, the author instructions state that the journal name should be included in full, not abbreviated.

How do I report this to Zotero? Or is it something I'm doing wrong somehow?

Thanks
Rachel

Yes, exactly. The style guidelines want:
Author AB. Title of article. Full Name of the Journal volume number, first page–last page numbers, year

But Zotero is giving me an abbreviated journal name in the bibliography. For example:
Murad MH, Asi N, Alsawas M, Alahdab F. New evidence pyramid. Evid. Based Med. 21, 125–127, 2016

Can I fix this, or report it so someone else might fix it?

You have already reported it. However, if you notice discrepancies for other sources, please list them here (i.e., current format vs expected format). Please note it might take time for the style to be updated, because it is done by volunteers. Meanwhile, you can also edit the style (https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step) to match your needs.

Thank you, that's super helpful

There were many more things wrong with this style. I've completely reworked the style. Please test it out and let me know if you spot anything else and then we can merge it for all users.

damnation, thank you so much for the quick action, as always.

Staranaise

Thank you very much! I've tested it out, and it is missing the required hanging indent. Otherwise I think it looks great, thank you again

Thanks. I've merged the style with that fix now. It'll be available in an hour or so.

Thank you again! I'm very grateful
