Style Error: [ABNT]

mfermanian · November 5, 2018

After the last update, have an error Zotero when create a bibliography at Microsoft Office 2013. The style ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas) no stay bold or italic. I noticed wich the error to occurs when the number of authors is less 3 citations. In ABNT, when an article or a book have more of 3 authors, only the major author is citaed.

Ex.
ABNT Correct:
DEL GIUDICE, A. S. et al. Efeitos de Protocolos de Treinamento Intervalado e Contínuo na Reabilitação de Indivíduos Cardiopatas. Ensaios e Ciência: C. Biológicas, Agrárias e da Saúde, v. 22, n. 1, p. 53-57, 2018.

Zotero after update:
DEL GIUDICE, A. S. et al. Efeitos de Protocolos de Treinamento Intervalado e Contínuo na Reabilitação de Indivíduos Cardiopatas. Ensaios e Ciência: C. Biológicas, Agrárias e da Saúde, v. 22, n. 1, p. 53-57, 2018.

Only way that Zotero activates bold, but is wrong according to ABNT standards:
DEL GIUDICE, A. S., SENE, I. G. G., DE MOREAES JUNIOR, J. G. R., MARTELLI, A., DELBIM, L. (2018). Efeitos de Protocolos de Treinamento Intervalado e Contínuo na Reabilitação de Indivíduos Cardiopatas. Ensaios e Ciência: C. Biológicas, Agrárias e da Saúde, v. 22, n. 1, p. 53-57, 2018.

We have a number of ABNT styles and my understanding is that interpretations vary slightly. Which one are you using? Do any of the others work?

I tried every styles ABNT, that decrease the number of authors and occurs always same error. For stay right, I need to edit csl increasing the authors number. However, more of 3 authors, in bibliography only one is cited. In this case I'm utilizing ABNT standard.

And this happens in a new document, too? How about when you create a bibliography from Zotero using right-click --> Create bibliography from selected items?

Given that the style makes no distinction, and always prints journal titles in bold, I'm guessing you're seeing a version of this https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/italics_in_word_bibliographies (substitute bold for italics)

I tried everything, nothing worked. In a new document, Zotero applies normal references, but when you change the font to Times New Roman, the problem repeats again! I even downloaded and reinstalled an older version of Zotero and the error continues. I thought it better to use the csl file I edited. At the end of the article I fix the authors name! Thank you for your help! Probably the error is in Microsoft Office.

Mfermanian,

What is the best ABNT style nowadays?

I see that a lot of them have been updated om May 2018.

I used to choose the one from Escola Maior do Exército used to be the most complete and correct.

I believe that if we contacted the other style authors we could reduce this actual style mess, by merging them.
