Style Error: American journal of pathology

Hello,
this is my first post in the forum and want to thank everybody, who actively participates in this great project.
I am still learning to us Zotero and would like to fix the downloaded style by myself, but unfortunately I am not familiar with the software at the moment.

Whats wrong:
After inserting the Bibliography in word
- a complete list of authors should be cited (my authors are abbreviated after 6 authors
- The author list should be closed by an ":", not by an "."
- Cited Journals should be abbreviated
- a citation should look like this "Am J Pathol 2006, 168:310-320" the csl style prints e.g.: "Nature. 2003 Feb 13;421(6924):744–8."
- The bibliography should be double spaced, after refreshing I always get it single spaced again.

There seems to be a lot mixed up...


Is there anybody who could help me updating the csl style?

Thank you!
  • that's not good. It will be a while until I get to this, but it's on my radar.
  • I tried to fix the style by myself, but somehow I broke everything... Now I resetted my changes. Just to display the problems with the citation I took the standard citation from the journal shown in the guidelines for authors, and the zotero AJP style:

    Guideline:
    Cecena G, Wen F, Cardiff RD, Oshima RG: Differential sensitivity of mouse epithelial tissues to the polyomavirus middle T oncogene. Am J Pathol 2006, 168:310-320

    Zotero (American jorunal of pathology style):
    Cecena G, Wen F, Cardiff RD, Oshima RG. Differential Sensitivity of Mouse Epithelial Tissues to the Polyomavirus Middle T Oncogene. Am J Pathol. 2006 Jan;168(1):310–20.


    Other problems stated in my fist post still are existing unchanged.

    Regards
  • OK, I have this up now. Journal articles should be correct. The instructions for books/book chapters aren't clear enough and I couldn't find an example, so I did that kind of by ear. If you find an example of a book and/or book chapter cited in the journal I'd be happy to adjust the style accordingly.
    Update will show up on the repository within the next 30mins.
