Upgrade Storagecitation style
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.
If "citation-number" is used instead, in these compound styles, for the citation cluster number in which one or more cites occurs, that would change the meaning of "citation-number", and the raw sequence number would become inaccessible through CSL. That may be acceptable, but if not, or if the documentation might prove confusing, a separate variable (say "citation-cluster-number" or "citation-group-number" or so) could be used instead for this special purpose.
If "citation-cluster-number" etc were introduced, there would be no need for a toggle in cs:bibliography.
A thought, anyway.
"as discussed by Smith (4) and Doe (5a).
4 a) ... ; b) ... ; c) ... .
5 a) ... ; b) ... ."
instead of
"as discussed by Smith (4a-c) and Doe (5a)."
after almost 1 year from last post, I d like to know if anything is changed since last post...
Thank you
Zotero used to cite multiple sources like this:
"Many have tried fibrin as a solution [1-3]"
1. Van Bammel et al...
2. Rossin et al...
3. Soon et al...
It is now doing this:
"Many have tried fibrin as a soultion [1]"
1. Van Bammel et al, Rossin et al, Soon et al."
It seems to group multiple citations into one pointer. This is obviously not the proper way to cite but I can't get it to stop doing this. Very odd!
First I'll choose the style, which will be Chicago Manual of Style (note) and I choose endnote (rather than footnote). At the end of the sentence, I press ctrl-alt-A (alternatively I could mouse to add-ins-->insert zotero citation). The Zotero widget pops up, I choose the 3 citations sequentially and press enter. Instead of seeing [1-3] pop up at the bottom, I see [1], as described above. Note that I haven't yet pressed "add bibliography" - it just shows up like that.
Of note, this happens with any style I choose. I suspect this is something to do with Word 2010 on a PC. It's almost as if Word is using it's crappy referencing format but harnessing Zotero to access the reference - is this possible?
Try Vancouver or IEEE
What happens if you press "insert Bibliography"?
I can absolutely guarantee you that you would never have been able to produce 1-3 with any of the Chicago Manual Styles with Zotero.
As you said, I must have started with the default initially (Chicago Manual) which references in the manner discussed. The problem was that I couldn't automatically switch to something else as I normally could. Every time I tried it would keep the referencing format but just change the format of the actual references. What I ended up doing was going through each citation one by one, deleting it and redo-ing it. This was the only thing that worked.
Let me know if there is an easy way to switch from format to format - I used to be able to do that by simply highlighting everything and changing the Zotero citation format.
Thanks for your help!
If not, and the file is smaller than 5MB or so, you can email it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread.
Old thread. I want to know if there is already any progress to resolve this issue. What is the main problem, why CSL cannot make alphabetical (multiple) citation?
To accommodate these type of composite citation, we need an entirely different vocabulary and a different way of inserting citations where bibliography entries are a weird hybrid between citation and bibliography. I don't see it happening any time soon unless someone interested gets involved in the logistic and coding details of it.
it seems that sooner or later every zoteroist-chemist is stumbling upon this post...
As a "clean" solution is likely impossible to implement, I was wondering if it was possible to integrate instead some sort of freestyle item type as a workaround. I imagine basically something like a citable note, containing text entered and formatted in zotero. When this "note" is then cited in a document it should appear in the bibliography featuring the desired formatting. Anything could go into such a document type, either that weird a)...b) stuff or comments/remarks that also end up quite often in the bibliography section of a chemical article.
No clue if this is possible, but it would be so nice ;)
I think Zotero could also at least consider to lift the character limit on Standalone notes-- you can currently cite those, but they're cut off after the first x number of characters (100?).
We're still interested in getting the compound styles for chemistry to work, but not anywhere closer if we're honest.
Good idea to use the abstract section and to change the citation style. So far I was using the author field of a journal article for that, but the character limit then prevents syncing if it gets too long.
Cheers!

let us know if you need help with the modifications, which will be pretty simple, something like 5 lines.
It has been 5 years now and, since most of the chemical journals are now requiring to "collapse" all the references on the same topic in just one bibliography voice, I was wondering if any progress at all has been done in this direction. Maybe/hopefully the 5.0 version has this feature?
Thank you for your job guys!
