Help amending citation presets please
Hi,
I currently have a referencing style in Zotero entitled “Equine Veterinary Education”.
I need to make the following adaptions, please could someone help me to do this?
Many thanks in advance!
•In- text references with multiple authors should be italicised “et al.” rather than “and others”.
•In the bibliography, when multiple authors are listed in one reference the word “and” should appear between the last two authors.
For book sections:
o Italicise book title
o Include the edition after the book title
o Add a “:” after “In” when listing the book title
For conference proceedings:
o Italicise conference name and proceedings name
o Remove the “In” which precedes conference proceeding titles
o Remove the “pp” associated with the page numbers

Are these amendments needed as the style is incorrect or because this is just a personal style you want to create?
I'll submit a fix. I'll post here once that is accepted. No need for you to fix the style.
Can you give the example that was given for a conference paper?
Please paste that conference paper here, so I can include that in the style fix.
And for your understanding. These styles are used by thousands of people around the globe. It's always better to report the errors so they can be fixed or supply the fix yourself via the repository on GitHub. Then the whole community has something from it and not just you as a single researcher. ;)
If I understand you correctly it's an example of a conference proceeding reference form the journal that you would like? Please find below.
Durkes, T.E. (1999) Gold bead implantation in small animals. Proc. Annu. Int. Congr. Vet. Acupunct. 25, 1‐ 5. (volume in bold, conference proceedings title italicised)
You can already use this style. Note however, that as long as it's not merged to the repository it might switch back to the old one. Make sure to apply the style before submitting the paper again.
(let me know if you find any errors)

Right click, save as, install in Zotero.
Schott, H.C., Gallant, L., Coyne, M., Murphy, R., Cross, J., Strong-Townsend, M., Yerramilli, M., and Li, J. (2018ae) Symmetric dimethylarginine and creatinine concentrations in draft breed horses. In: 11th Annual European College of Equine Internal Medicine Congress.
Help please!
If you have a look at recent issues of this journals you can see how they use a numeric style.
That's what I di (and actually already had said above).
Guidelines are often outdated, especially for Wiley journals).
Don't worry. I'm working on fixing it.
Save the link as. Then it downloads and you have a .csl file. Then a double click that file and it will install it.
Otherwise you can add the .csl under preferences somewhere. (Cite pane, I think)
Edit: Rintze was so nice and merged the style already.
There are just one or two small things...The bibliography needs to be in alphabetical order please. Also, there should be "."s after each abbreviated word in the journal titles, they are there in the citation manager, but they do not appear in the bibliography now. Also doi' are appearing in the bibliography, but they are not meant to. Thank you!
DOIs: as per their guidelines:
"The editor and publisher recommend that citation of online published papers and other material should be done via a DOI (digital object identifier), which all reputable online published material should have - see www.doi.org/ for more information. If an author cites anything that does not have a DOI, they run the risk of the cited material not being traceable."
I've programmed it now that it only shows those of items without volume and page (=unpublished)
Sort Bibliography: fixed
Journal abbreviation: It already does that. Example:
Campbell, J.L. and Pedersen, O.K. (2007) The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comp. Polit. Stud. 40, 307–332.
Check if you have "Use MEDLINE abbreviations" under Document preferences checked. Otherwise it uses yor Journal Abbreviation field from within Zotero.
