in-text citation style with journal title

rgreenst

I have a patron who wants an in-text citation style with the journal title (i.e. Brown, Ophthalmology, 2019). I've tried all of the styles that come with Zotero and none of them contain the journal title, and the only EndNote ones give me gibberish when I tried to do an in-text citation.

Based on these instructions (https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step), I've downloaded the CSL file for APA (in-text citation style is Brown, 2019), but I couldn't figure out where in the XML to add the appropriate code to modify the style. Can someone help me with this?

For APA this should work for the citation part (that's the part where you call all the macros/variables for how the in-text citation part should look like (line 1401...):


<citation et-al-min="6" et-al-use-first="1" et-al-subsequent-min="3" et-al-subsequent-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" disambiguate-add-names="true" disambiguate-add-givenname="true" collapse="year" givenname-disambiguation-rule="primary-name">
<sort>
<key macro="author" names-min="8" names-use-first="6"/>
<key macro="issued-sort"/>
</sort>
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="author-short"/>
<text macro="container-title"/>
<text macro="issued-citation"/>
<text macro="citation-locator"/>
</group>
</layout>
</citation>

Here is a version of APA with the journal abbreviation in text (I use this for making slide presentations): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwiernik/zotero-tools/master/apa-slide-presentation.csl

Thanks so much to you both!

damnation: I was able to use your code to modify the APA style. My new style has the journal name in text.

bwiernik: The style you sent looks like it's just abbreviated authors (i.e. Brown et al., 2019) in text without the journal.

It’s the journal abbreviation (in the Journal Abbr) field.
