JACS Journal of the American College of Surgeons

Hi Zotero,

I'm having trouble with the format of the JACS citations. It's randomly inserting a period before the journal title in each citation in my reference list (see below). I've tried to see if there's a rogue prefix in the code, but could not find it. Thanks so much for your help!

Journal of the American College of Surgeons

Best,
Claire
