Style similar to IEEE

Ixi

Dear community,

I'm looking for a citation style in zotero that is similar to IEEE except that instear of numbers in the brackets, there are the first letters of the authors' names and the two last digits of the year of publication. FOr exemple, for the article "Quality of Service for Networked Virtual Environments" by D. Gracanin, Y. Zhou, L. DaSilva and V. Tech that was published in 2004 it should say [GZDT04]. Does anyone know how this style is called or could provide a modified IEEE style? That would be great and would help me a lot with my bachelor thesis.

Thanks

this is not fully supported by Zotero.
Read through this thread:

to get an idea of what is possible and what you need to do.

Thanks a lot!
In the posted link I've found this: https://gist.github.com/1154160.
Can anyone tell me what I have to do with it in the standalone version of Zotero 3.0 (and if needed in the plug in for Word)?

Thank you!

download using the "raw" link on the top right. Then go to the "cite" tab in the zotero preferences, go to "styles", click the plus on the bottom and select the downloaded file.

Thank you! Will this work exaactly like a normal citation style or do I have to consider anything?

I'd test it in a small document to be sure, but I think that should just work normally.

The bibliography works now, but in the text, the citations are still shown as [1], [2], and so on. Is there any sollution for this problem?

adamsmith

ask in that thread. As I say, it's not fully supported at this time so I don't know what the status is, if you need the multilingual client etc.

Ok, thanks a lot for your help :)
