Edit alphabet to a number

induvarier
Hi,

I'm a new Zotero user. I'm finding difficulty viewing my citation note after adding a citation. I used all styles. Only the ones with notes show the note as a endnote. But all these styles have a roman number instead of metric system.

Can you help me fix this

    You probably want to use a numeric style (e.g. Vancouver) and then insert a bibliography (there's a button for it in Word).

    Edit: err, sorry, meant to say numeric

    whether endnotes/footnotes are displayed with a Roman or an Arab number is a setting of your word processor, not Zotero, so you'll want to check the settings there.

    Aurimas,

    As per your comment - I tried and it the bibilography doesnt come as a end note. It appears next to sentence.

    adamsmith,

    I want the citation to be numbered in metric style instead of a roman number. End notes number can be changed but not the number next to the sentence.
  • adamsmith
    Yeah, so I'm not quite clear on what you want:
    If you want an actual note style, see my comment above.
    If you just want number in text that refer to a numbered bibliography at the end (which would mean that every time you cite the same item it uses the same number) You'd want to use a numeric style as Aurimas suggests in his edited comment and use "insert bibliography" to see the corresponding references.

    I promise you that that's incorrect. The format of footnote and endnote numbers is _entirely_ controlled by your word processor and you can absolutely change both the numbers as they appear in the text and in the note there. Zotero has no control over either.

    I want a note style but with number in text and the note to refer it
  • adamsmith
    See my comments above, but I also suspect you may be misunderstanding what a note vs. a numerical style is.
    Can you point to a document or journal article that's referenced the way you want it to?
  • induvarier
    adamsmith,

    I'm not able to edit the number in the text. But i can just delete and put a new number in the endnote.

    this is the journal i m looking to publish in
  • induvarier
    It might sound silly. But i'm not able to get a numerical style with notes at the end of the article.
  • adamsmith
    That style is available for Zotero
    https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=Journal of Clinical Oncology

    as per above:
    use "insert bibliography" to see the corresponding references.
  • induvarier
    got it. I dint have to use insert bibilography. Weird it dint work before. I could see the reference note before at the end of the page. Now i do.

    Thank you so much for the assistance.

    hello,
    I use 'Vancouver' as citation style. The references are given as numbers consecutively in the text and in the bibliography. The numbers are then from 1 to ... to find again. Only they are obviously not sorted alphabetically in the bibliography.
    Now my bibliography should be numbered from 1 to ..., but the surnames of the lead authors should also be sorted in alphabetical order, so that the reference numbers in the text are not numbered consecutively anymore.
    Unfortunately I'm not able to change that and hope that someone can help me.
    Thank you in advance.
    LG

    unless you're tied to using Vancouver exactly, look at
    https://zotero.org/styles?q=American Medical Association (sorted alphabetically)

    It's pretty close to Vancouver and does exactly what you want wrt sorting.
  • kerstindt
    Oh yes. That worked. Thank your very much!!!
