National library of medicine

Hi,

I installed both Standalone and Firefox Zotero today. I also installed the National library of medicine style and it appears in the list when I try to change my references to that style. My references are all entered by myself into the Zotero program. Unfortunately, all references become like this:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(3)
And I want them to be like this:
1. Honda T, Nozaki M, Isono N, et al (2001) Endoscope-assisted facial fracture repair. World J Surg 25:1075-1083

What am I doing wrong? Am I entering the data in the wrong category in Zotero? I'm using the Swedish version so I'm entering journals in "Journalartikel".

I really appreciate your help!
Thanks
  • And also: Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in brackets (e.g. [4])
    Number the references in order of their first appearance in the text (not alphabetically). Once a
    reference is cited, all subsequent citations should be to the original number.
  • To get the reference list, use "Insert Bibliography" in the Word processor plugin.

    If you want reference numbers in square brackets instead of parentheses, use the Vancouver with Brackets style from the repository (which is equivalent otherwise).
  • Thank you very much! The Vancouver with brackets is great, just the date is different from the style I should use according to World of Surgery, in Vancouver with brackets it appears the date appears after the journal's name. But I guess I should change that manually later on?

    ah - mention the journal you need the style for. The style for that is "Springer Vancouver" which you'll also find on the repository. They don't actually follow NLM standards, it's just similar.
  • I mentioned the journal: World Journal of Surgery.
  • And thanks, Springer Vancouver is great!
  • yeah, just not in the beginning, so we were on the wrong track. As I said - the style you want to use is Springer Vancouver.
  • a style for the World Journal of Surgery is now up.
