Upgrade StorageReplacing numbers like [1] by [Author13] in the text
Dear Zotero community,
is there any possibility to change the citations in the text from simple increasing numbers to something more meaningful like [Author13] in the text? This is widespread in my community and people like it as you don't have to scroll to the end of a document to see what someone is actually citing once you're a bit knowledgeable in the field (you just recognize most of the references right away).
Example: I want to cite this paper:
[1] M. Schmidberger, W. Chang, P. St.J. Russell, and N. Y. Joly, "Influence of timing jitter on nonlinear dynamics of a photonic crystal fiber ring cavity," Opt. Lett. 37, 3576–3578 (2012).
Instead of writing [1] in the text I want something like
[Schmidberger12] to appear and the biblio to be changed accordingly to:
[Schmidberger12] M. Schmidberger, W. Chang, P. St.J. Russell, and N. Y. Joly, "Influence of timing jitter on nonlinear dynamics of a photonic crystal fiber ring cavity," Opt. Lett. 37, 3576–3578 (2012).
Is this possible or possible to add this to Zotero? It really would make citations better, in general, I think!
Thanks for your help!
