Pb importing Endnote style in Zotero

kenzojam84 · December 21, 2012

I tried to import the style of "Fisheries Research" journal (downloaded from http://endnote.com/downloads/styles)in Zotero and I got an error message saying that the file is not a valid style file (Fisheries Research.ens ne paraît pas être un fichier de style valide). I had the same issue with other styles downloaded from endnote website. I don't understand why the file is not supported by Zotero ? Zotero normally accepts Endnote format ?!! Please could you explain me what is going on, and what can I do to make it works ? The fisheries research style does not exist in the zotero style repository. Thanks

Zotero does not support endnote styles for copyright reasons. you can request the style to be added to the zotero repository https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles

Fisheries Research appears to use a standard Elsevier style. Zotero offers several Elsevier styles. Go to http://www.zotero.org/styles and search for "Elsevier". You will find the style you need. It will not have the title of your journal but you can find the correct style by looking at the examples of each style's output.

The style is now up. It will appear on the style repository within 30mins.. (See here if you need instructions for installing styles in standalone.)
Any further problems please let us know.
