APA format

lw4736
Zotero does not italicize journal names and volume numbers. Additionally, it capitalizes each word of an article's title, which is NOT APA format. It 's otherwise a great tool, but problematic as the author needs to fix each separate reference. Is there any plan to rectify this problem?

    It certainly does. Zotero follows all major styles quite carefully. If you provide Steps to Reproduce we should be able to tell you what the problem is.

    It doesn't — there's just no way for it to automatically correct titles that are already title-cased (because it doesn't know what's a proper noun), so if you're using APA you need to convert titles to sentence case when they're not imported that way. Zotero can help you do that. See Sentence Casing.

    The italics issue is very likely this: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/italics_in_word_bibliographies
