"Volume number missing in footnotes for multi-volume work

Hello. I’m having difficulties with footnote references when citing a multi-volume work in Zotero. The series I’m using has the same author and title across all volumes, and each volume is numbered. After citing one volume, if I later cite a different volume from the same series, the footnote just shows "op. cit." without indicating the correct volume number, which can mislead the reader.

I would like Zotero to include the volume number whenever the citation refers to a different volume than the one cited just before. I’m using the “Institut catholique de Paris” citation style. Could you help me solve this?
  • Can you link to the current guidelines of the style that shows this behaviour? Then I can look into this later.
  • Thanks a lot for your welcoming,

    Would you kindly explain me where i can find that on the web site of zotero ?

    Thanks, I don't need the style. I know where to find that ;)
    I'm talking about the citation guidelines of this institute.
  • Wahou, i will try to find it but indeed i think there is no one from years. We are used to follow zotero configuration institut catholique of Paris' style. I try and come back .
  • Hello damnation ;)
    I received a negative response from the academic office: the regulations are currently being updated, and they are unable to provide me with a version, even an outdated one. I have to manage without it and stick to the style generated by Zotero, while still correcting the issue.
    Would you nonetheless be able to help me resolve my difficulty?Thanks a lot
  • Please copy a real example here. Current output and the wanted version.
  • Thanks a lot :

    An exemple of the topic. Author: PPICOR, Book : Nuntia, several vols.

    - The wrong result :

    note 1 : PCCICOR, Nuntia, vol. 7, 1978, p. 24.
    note 2 : PCCICOR, Nuntia, op. cit., p. 11.

    - The problem : note 2 is from vol. 8, 1984. And it is not indicated

    - The wish :

    note 1 : PCCICOR, Nuntia, vol. 7, 1978, p. 24.
    note 2 : PCCICOR, Nuntia, vol. 18, 1984, p. 11.

  • Maybe before note 1, another note was about the same vol. than the one of note 2.

    But at the end, it is not possible to understand anything.

    The solution should be to always keep the mention of the vol and year.
