Series Abbreviation

jhamilton · August 25, 2009

With the bibliographic info on a journal article, Zotero offers the opportunity to enter the Journal Abbreviation.

Is there a similar thing for the abbreviations of Series in which a book is published?

If not, this would be a useful field to add to the bibliographic possibilities in that right hand column.

Thanks for this program!

doesn't exist, no.

It seems like it would be an easy thing to add, given that it's already there for the Journal Abbreviations. Since many footnote formats call for abbreviations of series titles, it would seem like a worthy addition.

Thanks,

Jim

put this in as a feature request - not super trivial, no, because the idea is to keep the number of categories down. This seems reasonable to me, but you would want to include some examples of styles requiring this in the request.

Thanks for your interaction, Adam, let me know if I need to do more than this:

Thanks. So does this mean it's being worked on or am I missing something about how to get it working in Z 2.0?

Gratefully!

"tickets" are outstanding issues - think of them as "to do" notes of the developing team.
