List of bibliography as the style of "cell" journal

Hello everybody

I write my PhD thesis, and I choosed to make the "citation" and "bibliograhy" with the style of "cell" journal, I download this style from http://www.zotero.org/styles

and i have two problems in citation and in the list of bibliography

first : in citations, somme times zotero add the citation with the surname, exemple: "Michael Smith 1996" and not "Smith 1996", this is for some citations not for all
i arrive to resolve this problem by the option "edit citation" in word

second: in the list of references or bibliography at the ending of the document, zotero add only the first authours......example :Smith, M. et al., 1991. Title of the article. Journal , 11(4-6), 579-585.

he doesn't add all the authors,

i don't know how to resolve this probem

can anyone help me please

Thank you very much

    The style is correct in these two aspects.

    1) http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation

    2) http://www.cell.com/authors states
    Note: "et al." should only be used after ten authors.
  • Thanks noksagt

    it is fine now for the first problem

    but for the second maybe i didn't explain well my problem:

    in the list of references or bibliography at the ending of the document, zotero add only the first authours......
    example :Smith, M. et al., 1991. Title of the article. Journal , 11(4-6), 579-585.

    and not : Smith, M., Dupont, S., Jhonson, G. title of the article. Journal, .........;

    he put only the first authors (i tallk about the list of bibliography not citations)

    thank you
  • in fact when there is 2 or 3 authors, he put them

    but when there is more than 3 authors, he put the first and et al.

    Thank you
  • are you sure you have the right style?
    The style Cell Journal, which you can install or update directly from here:
    http://www.zotero.org/styles/cell/dev?install=1
    will print up to 10 authors in the bibliography and only then use et al.
    It will never print et al. after the first author.
    i.e. the style in the repository will never produce this
    Smith, M. et al., 1991. Title of the article. Journal , 11(4-6), 579-585.

    I just retested this to confirm.
    Which Zotero version are you using?
  • Thank you very very much adamsmith

    you are right,

    i thing that i didn't install the right style in this page http://www.zotero.org/styles

    with the link that you give me, it works now

    thank you again
