Styles for Cell journals incorrect

jdaw94 · October 26, 2023

Hi, I am writing a manuscript for a Cell journal and it seems like all of the Cell Journals (e.g. Cell, Cell Reports, Molecular Cell) are incorrect. The inline citation is supposed to be the first author and the year, but in Zotero it's coming up as a numbered superscript. Would someone at Zotero be able to fix these? Do I have to fix this manually? Thanks so much.

No, that's correct for Cell, see e.g. https://www.cell.com/cell/authors#b63929e6-428b-4a1b-b9f8-0de0b3ee232f and similarly for all Cell journals

Their styles changed maybe a year ago (there's a thread on the forum about this, too, with a link to their announcement, I think), and I've just emailed with Cell managing editors last week about the styles, so they're definitely correct.

Ah I see, my bad. It looks like the press release is here: https://www.cell.com/news-do/cell-press-referencing-style

I was looking at papers published in 2022 I guess before they switched. I did try to search for this issue in the other threads, couldn't find anything about it. Thanks so much, really appreciate it!
