et al. settings edition

smasherfox
Hi everyone! How are you doing?

So, I am using the Human Molecular Genetics style for my paper, but I need to include 10 authors before using "et al.". I have the latest version of Zotero and when I try to edit the style through "Preferences", the Human Molecular Genetics style doesn't appear for edition. So I can't even take a look at the code and make the necessary modifications as indicated in other discussion topics. Can anyone help me, please?

    The Style Editor is in the Tools menu, not Preferences.

    In the style, you would change the “et-al-min” property in the citation or bibliography section.

    Yeah, I managed to open the Style Editor, but the problem is that, even though I have imported the Human Molecular Genetics style, it doesn't appear in the list for available styles for editing (the list includes Nature, Vancouver, Elsevier...). So, I can't even take a look at the code for editing =(
    If I could get my hands on the code for this particular style, I could at least copy and paste it in a pre-existing style, alter it and save as a different edited style.

    The style is just a link to https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:database (Database), so modify that.

    That's because it's a dependent style, so it's just a pointer to another style. The style you'd want to edit is the "Database" style (for the Database Oxford journal). The Human Molecular Genetics is just that with a default-locale set to en-GB.

    It worked! Thanks for the help, everyone! =D
