Upgrade Storagebibliography style | Last_Author Year (First_Author) Journal - Title
Hi Everyone,
For long bibliographies it makes sense for us to organise bibliographies by Last Author ('s lastname) in the first position, since it organises thematically related citations (from single labs in natural sciences) in blocks. It's also how we rename our PDFs for better placement in local folders.
Example:
Tsien 1998 (Zlokarnik) Science - Quantitation of Transcription and Clonal Selection of Single Living Cells
Tsien 2002 (Adams) J. Am. Chem. Soc. - New Biarsenical Ligands and Tetracysteine Motifs for Protein Labeling in Vitro and in Vivo: Synthesis and Biological Applications
It took me a while to have both Last_Author and First_Author in a single bibliography style without any ellipses [...] or "et al." which would be messy in folder systems, and I didn't find it elsewhere, so here's how I did it: hope it's useful.
Thank you Zotero & Z-Community!
Oliver

That said, a style like this that is only for personal use wouldn’t be accepted in the Zotero Style Repository. You can feel free to host in on the Internet yourself in case others find it useful (I host several styles I work with on GitHub at http://GitHub.com/bwiernik/Zotero-tools)
