Style request - Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Hi,
I noticed that Zotero is not generating the proper format. The article title should be in sentence case instead of title case. The directions from the publisher are listed below. Any chance this could be fixed?
Thanks
In the text, reference numbers should be placed in square brackets [ ], and placed before the punctuation; for example [1], [1–3] or [1,3]. For embedded citations in the text with pagination, use both parentheses and brackets to indicate the reference number and page numbers; for example [5] (p. 10), or [6] (pp. 101–105).

Several things:
- placement of citations: that's a user error. The citation gets inserted where you have the cursor. Zotero/CSL doesn't know what the end of a sentence is. So put the dot after manually and going forward, when citing place the cursor before the dot and then add the citation.
- I do not see that they want page numbers going with round brackets in their main guidelines. (https://res.mdpi.com/data/mdpi_references_guide_v5.pdf)
I am aware they show those in the IJEPRH style guide, but they just link out to the main MDPI .csl style from there (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/instructions#references).
