Upgrade StorageLooking for Streamlined Citation Style for Grant Writing
Hi everybody!
I work at a large non-profit and we do a lot of (surprise surprise) grant writing. We're in the process of standardizing Zotero across the organization, but are still searching for the right citation style (usually we can pick any style we want for grants) that ensures lay and academic readers can find the sources we reference without eating up too much page space.
The ideal would be a citation style that uses numeric in-text citations to link to a numbered bibliography. This way, if we want to cite the same source content multiple times throughout the grant, we would only have to provide one entry in the bibliography.
For example, it would function like the example below:
Substance use treatment slots are inadequate to meet the current and projected demand for the continental US.(1) The current federal administration has not focused sufficiently on expanding the availability of treatment, and instead has prioritized policies such as prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP).(2) This may be because PDMPs are very affordable, whereas expanding treatment availability to meet projected five-year demand is estimated to cost hundreds of billions of dollars.(1) An alternate perspective argues that the most pressing issue in addressing national substance crises is legalization and strict regulation of all currently-illicit substances. (3)
Bibliography:
1. Source one.
2. Source two.
3. Source three.
Does anyone know of an existing style that functions like this? Or, any thoughts on a style that could be easily modified to do so? I was playing with the styles editor yesterday, but it seemed relatively difficult to modify the existing styles that I was looking at (e.g., AMA, Vancouver).
Thanks!

adamsmithThat's how e.g. Vancouver and AMA already work -- what's wrong with them for your purpose?
-
wcurrangroomeThanks for the quick response! Good question, should have made that clear. When I use AMA/Vancouver, they create endnotes with numbering that corresponds to the bibliography entries, but I want to omit the endnotes and have each citation link directly to the corresponding bibliography entry. Does that make sense? Is there a way to omit endnotes with AMA/Vancouver?
-
adamsmithNo, sorry, I don't understand. AMA or Vancouver style do not create endnotes. They just create numbers in the text and a numbered bibliography. Why do you think they are creating endnotes?
-
wcurrangroomeRight you are, I just tested AMA in a new document and it's working exactly how I want. I'm not sure why the existing document was so mixed up... maybe because I converted from Chicago to AMA part-way through? Anyhow, thanks so much for the help/sorry for the waste of time!
