How to get required required reference style

There are many references styles provided by ZOTERO, But many of us are not publishing in the journals given in the list. Do we can able to upload a style or edit by any way??

    Hi,

    First of all, we have over 8000 styles on the repository (https://www.zotero.org/styles) and adding new ones on a near-daily basis. This is work that has been done by volunteers and contributors over the years. There is new journals appearing every day and some changing their styles regular enough to keep us all busy. If we had an army of coders we'd have all the journals you wanted. So please understand that when the one journal you're looking for is not on the list yet. :)
    In order to get your preferred style though you can do a few things:
    1. learn about the Citation Style Language and make your own. Chances are high there is a very similar style on the repository and you'll only need a couple of changes. You can use the Example Search for that: http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/and from there edit it in the Visual Style editor (you can find videos on YouTube how to).
    2. If you have successfully adapted a style you can, of course, contribute it to the repository and make it available for the many other users! https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
    3. If all fails you can request a style via this guide: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles There is only 3-4 people really working on requests, so it will either take a while or not happen at all (altough you can always honour a coder's time by paying them).

    We're happy to help you with specific questions if you go down route #1.
