Bibliography.

noxy725

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to directly modify the bibliography from the text, and that zotero remember it. When i refresh the bibliography, my modification are all deleted. The only way I have found is to 'edit the bibliography', but it takes to much time.
I also need a special type of bibliography (my school ask for it).
I need it like this:

DUBE J., ROCHETTE-DROUIN O., LEVESQUE P., GAUVIN B. AL Restoration of the Transepithelial Potential Within Tissue- Engineered Human Skin In Vitro and During the Wound Healing Process In Vivo. Tissue Engineering Part A 16 : 3055-3063, 2010.
(name of the article in italic and the publisher underline).

Is it a way to do it set it like this?

Thank you so much,
Antoine D.

If you manually change anything in the bibliography, Zotero will overwrite it and there's no easy way around that, no.

Ideally you'd fix the citation style (or use edit bibliography). If that's really not possible, you can wait until you're done, save a copy of your document, remove field codes and then edit as you like (as the document isn't connected to Zotero anymore).

See here for editing citation styles: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
It's certainly possible to have a style like you describe, though beyond answering specific questions we won't be able to support school-specific styles.

1) Since Zotero 3.0 and newer you can edit **citations** directly in the document, and then the citations won't update unless you change the citation style. But that's not the case for the **bibliography**, if you want to keep your changes, you must not edit it manually / directly in your word processor
