Edit bibliography style on Word (Mac)

Jacay · October 21, 2014

I am using Zotero 4.0.22. When I insert the bibliography, the automated format is a numbered style: (1).... (2)... (3)

How can I change the numbering to: 1. ... 2. ... (without the parentheses)?

That's in the citation style. It's not impossibly hard to modify that, but it'd be much easier to find one that does exactly what you want. What would that be?

I'd like to know how to do this, if possible. I use American Chemical Society (page-first) for most of my writing and bibliographies are not supposed to be numbered in parentheses for those journals (at least none of the ones with which I am familiar).

You'd change
<text variable="citation-number" prefix="(" suffix=") "/>

to
<text variable="citation-number" suffix="."/>

(or without the period as needed).

General instructions here:

@Rintze -- any thoughts on the parentheses here? You looked at the ACS journals in detail.

@theplc, for which journal are you preparing a manuscript?

theplc · August 12, 2015

@Rintze, I am preparing a thesis using the ACS style.

@adamsmith thank you kindly for the instructions!
