Upgrade StorageStyle Error [Geology]
Hi - I'm a new zotero user trying to use the Geology (https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/geology) style.
When adding citations I've noticed the following problem:
1. Citations should be listed in chronological order with the oldest first and the most recent last (see for example: https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/548574/a-temporal-and-causal-link-between-ca-1380-ma).
2. When citing multiple papers with the same first author published in the same year, zotero deafults to displaying two author names. For example if I previously cited Smith, Jones, and White, 2008, and then I want to cite Smith, Johnson and Williams 2008, zotero will display these as (Smith, Jones, et al 2008) and (Smith, Johnson et al 2008). I couldn't find an example on the Geology webpage, but I'm pretty sure this is supposed to appear as (Smith et al., 2008a) and (Smith et al., 2008b), where the determination of a, b, etc is based on the position in which the references are cited in the text (i.e., whichever one is cited first is given the suffix a, the next citation is b, etc).
Is there a way to edit these features within the zotero GUI? Or does this require editing the CSL code?
Thanks,
Joel

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.
We'd either need clarification from the journal editors or an example (you can look for one in any of the journals of the American Geological society. They all have the same style).
(I've put in a fix for issue 1 and some other smaller discrepancies)

I'm not sure if it's open-access, but I can provide a PDF if you'd like.
