An abbreviated version of APA Style?

sciwonder

I was wondering if anyone had created a CSL for an abbreviated version of APA Style? If not, what's the best way for me to go about making one? I'd like to use this for lecture/seminar slides where there often isn't enough space to provide a full reference, but I still want to acknowledge the source in enough detail so that students can easily find it if they want to. In particular, I wanted to make a version that gave the author (if more than two authors, then "First Author et al."), year, abbreviated journal title, volume/issue, page numbers So, for example: Vul et al. (2009). Perspect Psychol Sci, 4(3), 274–290. I know that abbreviated journal titles aren't strictly part of APA, but again, I'm trying to be economical here.

Here is a version with the DOI, URL, or journal abbreviation in text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwiernik/zotero-tools/master/apa-doi-in-text.csl

You could combine that with the DOI Manager plugin to get shortDOIs instead of long DOIs. Don’t use those in papers, but they are fine for slides.

Here is a version with just the journal abbreviation: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwiernik/zotero-tools/master/apa-slide-presentation.csl
