APA 7 in text citation (et al & page numbers)

charley11 · February 4, 2024

Hello I am still quite new to Zotero and wondered if I am missing something when I use the in text citation and try to add a page number do I need to add the appropriate punctuation? Or can this be done automatically? It's not a big deal just don't want to forget especially in my thesis

For example I get XXXX (et al. 2022 p115)
Whereas I want XXXX (et al. 2022, p.115)

That is citation style dependent and will be added automatically for you.
See this guide how to add pages and locators: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage

(the example above would never happen with APA style)

Don’t type the “p” at all. Either type the plain number and it should get automatically recognized as a page number or click on the blue bubble for the item and enter it in the page field there.
