Personal & organization author, updated date, & short term in Vancouver Style

Dear Zotero,,

I'm Habib. Pass on my previous question: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/29335/how-to-add-cartographers-in-bibliography/, there are some additional questions about Vancouver style, to fit the following references: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html

1. How to write the author made ​​up of individuals and organizations, for example: "Vallancien G, Emberton M, Harving N, van Moorselaar RJ; Alf-One Study Group." Last author is an organization

2. Is there a place to write the "updated date" (i.e., updated 2002 May 26) as for: "Cancer-Pain.org [Internet]. New York: Association of Cancer Online Resources, Inc..; c2000-01 [updated 2002 May 16; cited 2002 Jul 9]."

3. I would like to abbreviate the word "Section" to "Sect.", But instead made a "Sec.", As below: "Cardiopulmonary Bypass intracardiac Suction Control. Sec. 870.4430."

I've been doing:
<text term="section" form="short" text-case="capitalize-first"/>
and also:
<term name="section" form="short"> sect. </ term>

Thus only, sorry to be so long. Thank you very much for your help.
  • 1. To enter institutional authors, there is a white rectangle behind the author name - click that to switch to "single field mode". Zotero/CSL doesn't allow you to use different delimiters for organizational authors as required by Vancouver, though (i.e. it's not possible to get the semicolon in front of the organization)

    2. Not possible

    3. That should work. You would need to define the term (as you seem to do) in the locale section of the style for the locale you're using (i.e. for English). See here for details: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#locale
    Hope that helps. These are all great questions btw., so don't hesitate to ask more.
  • Thank you Mr. Adamsmith, very helpful. Really appreciated.

    So, for a few minor details that can not be done automatically by Zotero/CSL, better done manually. Is that correct?
  • yes, do them manually at the end of the editing process - I don't think there are decent workarounds for the two issues there.
