amsalpha style?

hxian · March 25, 2011

Where can I find the amsalpha style, which is a common style in bibtex? It looks like this:

[FirstAuthorLastName2011] - no comma, no space, no other authors

Thanks.

we don't have that - since virtually no mathematician writes in anything other than LaTeX not many (if any) math styles have been created for Zotero.
But if you're the exception, see here

Thanks for your response. This style is actually not only used by mathematics publication. Computer graphic and virtual reality also use it.

Hxian,
did you create the style? If so would it be possible to get a copy of the style?

physicists also use that style quite often here AND, some of my colleagues don't use Latex, believe it or not, they have to use Ms Word, hard to believe and a pain in the a**... formulas, everything in word.... i know, speechless!

If this or a similar style is available somewhere, I'd also like a copy. I'll post it, if I find it.

The citation processor in Zotero can produce these citation keys. The processor also recognizes a simple format string for defining them, but the mechanism for passing it to the processor (i.e. via a format string coded in the style, or via a user option in Zotero) has not yet been settled.
