Upgrade StorageChoose a new existing style + question about alphabetical order
Hello,
I am a brand new user and I did not find answers in the support documents or in a forum search. Please help!
1° It should be easy, but I use the french version of Zotero 2 and can't find "styles" in the "preferences" menu, as instructed in the Help Docs.
So I would like to change the citation style I chose for a Word document to another one that already exists, where do I find the command button for it...
2°Harder question : I would like to use an alphabetical order for my bibliography, such as APA, and the order should be reflected in the citations.
Ex : Now "Vallier, F, etc..." is number 30 in my bibliography, I want the in-text citation to be simply: [30]. But when I am done, "Vallier, F, etc.." may be number 40, and the citation should have changed as well.
Is this possible?
Thank you very much.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
2. Yes - a lot of styles do that - try e.g. Nature or IEEE - APA style by definition doesn't do that, because it uses in - text author-year citations (although I guess it could be adjusted without too much work - but I'd go with IEEE for a start.
1.Found it. Thank you!
2.IEEE and Nature are not what I am looking for : the in-text citation is a number, BUT it reflects the adding order of citations, and not the alphabetical order in my bibliography.
I guess I will add citations by hand when I am done with my text :\
Thank you all the same
all it takes is
<sort>
<key variable="author"/>
<sort>
http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits
american-physiological-society.csl
annual-reviews-alphabetically.csl
asm-journals.csl
immunity.csl
journal-neurosurgery.csl
molecular-biochemical-parasitology.csl
$ cd all-styles/csl$ grep -l citation-number * | xargs grep -l 'key.*author'
I use annual reviews alphabetically now.
It does everything I want, except that it puts the in-text citations between () while I would prefer [].
How do I change this? I have the source code, but I have no idea what to change and how to make it a style...
Thank you for your answers :-)
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter=", ">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
</layout>
to
<layout prefix="[" suffix="]" delimiter=", ">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
</layout>
see the link in my post above on how to implement simple changes like this.
<key variable="author"/>
<sort>
thanks for this advice, but where exactly do I have to put this in my self created style?
<bibliography> and <layout>
" Error parsing style:
TypeError: myxml is undefined"
Here is my style: git://gist.github.com/1437750.git
Maybe you could have a look at it and give me an advice how to proceed.
Thank you!
As you can see, your style doesn't validate (see also https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Validation ). To render the publisher, use the "text" element, not "names".
You told me to insert
<sort>
<key variable="author"/>
<sort>
But what you forgot was a / before the last sort:
<sort>
<key variable="author"/>
</sort>.
So this works now!
How do edit my style now if I want the bibliography to be ordered not only alphabetically but also issued. And in case the same author wrote two texts in a year, that the first is called as an example Roosevelt 2003a and the second
Roosevelt 2003b
Rossevelt 2004...
?
Again thanks!
<key variable="author"/>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>
Does the sorting.
adding
disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true"
to the line starting with <citation
gives you the year suffix.
I'm sorry I've got so much problems but it's my first time creating a Style. Just two more things I noticed:
1. my multi citations are like that:
(Jann 2004, S. 4)(Bogumil u. Grohs u. Kuhlmann 2006, S. 4)
and not (Jann 2004, S. 4; Bogumil u. Grohs u. Kuhlmann 2006, S. 4) as it should be.
2. in case the source has got different authors or editors my bibliography is like that:
Bogumil, Jörg, Stephan Grohs, und Sabine Kuhlmann.
How do I erase the comma before the und?
Thanks a lot!
for 1. From the first <group in the <citation> section (l. 19 in the style on github) remove delimiter="" prefix="(" suffix=")". Then change
<layout> right above it to
<layout delimiter="; " prefix="(" suffix=")">
for 2. add delimiter-precedes-last="never" to every line starting with <name
(note the singular - i.e. don't do this for lines starting with <names
