Upgrade StorageHow to edit bibliography and in text cites
Can I edity bibliography or citations? For example i need to citate in apa style in that way : Vázquez (1999) not (Vázquez, 1999) ¿Can i edit that?. Sometimes in bibliography says "retrieved from:" I am spanish wirter and need to changue to "disponible en" or "recuperado de". Althougth i have to changue some "." or "," to adecuate the citation stiles to the papers where i send. ¿Is this posible in zotero?
2. You can suppress the author for your in-text citations to achieve Vazques (1999). See Customizing Citations here: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage
3. Which journal are you submitting to?
2.- I will check.
3.- I really dont know i am gosthwirter and my client publish in whole papers in springer, in CIESAS in La palabra y el hombre. Sometimes we require manual edit citation especifically to changue point marks "." instead "," or to supress "()" in years. I know that not "official in apa stilye" but are editorial requeriments in paper
I see. Supressing the author is a different thing to the citation style.
We have a large database (more than 8000 styles) to choose from and certainly all the Springer styles here: https://www.zotero.org/styles
a. If a style is missing we can make such a style and get it added (has to be for a journal/publishing house though). That also helps other writers when they want to submit to that journal.
b. If you need specific help for a specific style that you want then you have to specifically ask. That means telling us which citation style you're trying to edit and what you want to achieve exactly. In the form of "current output" vs "wanted output" is the easiest and fastest way for us to help.

As you can see the diferences are tremendously "minimal" and i think if i manual edit i can solve it, because is i ask if zotero have manual edit
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles
Can i manual editing?
Sorry i have very bad english
Please read the link I gave to see how to request a style
¿Cuánto demora el proceso de solicitud de estilo?
Mientras ustedes elaboran el estilo ¿Puedo hacer edición manual? ¿Puedo tomar un estilo parecido y hacer cambios en mi procesador de texto?
How long it takes? I am the person making most styles. A few days if I'm motivated.
Adam, I am ex-citavi user because is too much heavy in my system. And one problem whith my clients is the stiles have a litle diferences whith papers requeriments because in some papers have personal editorial criteria, not always acoord to APA. As you can see, the stile i show in my previous post not are APA but in a paper is considered APA.
You may not have understood what was said about the great benefit of Zotero. Within reason, you can write using any style and later very easily automatically change to a different bibliographic style.
You shouldn't manually edit within a Zotero citation style field because those fields hold information that is mostly agnostic to any particular style. Editing active Zotero fields will damage Zotero's ability to use the edited field. In other words, you can change to a different citation style in a document that still contains Zotero field codes. It is mostly as simple as selecting a different style from a drop-down list.
The only difficulty I've found is switching between a numbered style like Vancouver to an author-date style like APA or Chicago. [The same issue exists when switching in the opposite direction.] I likely will want to edit some sentences to improve prose style after the radical automatic conversion of citation style.
I think that it is important for a "ghostwriter" to know the journal to which the manuscript will be submitted. This is important for citation style but also writing or prose styles.
