Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS) citation style

Hello,

I’m using the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS) citation style in Zotero and I’m seeing two issues in the bibliography:

Article titles show in Title Case (Every Word Capitalized), but JAMS wants sentence case (only the first word and proper nouns capitalized).

A hyperlink/URL is being added to references where JAMS doesn’t require it (for standard journal articles with a DOI).

Instructions for authors (from p. 7): https://media.springer.com/full/springer-instructions-for-authors-assets/pdf/11747_Instructions for Authors - 2025.pdf

Articles published in JAMS use APA reference formatting

This doesn't look like APA.

1) In Zotero, store the title in sentence case.

Thanks — resolved. JAMS is a dependent style; I installed the parent, cloned it, enforced sentence case for article-journal titles, and suppressed DOI output. Everything formats correctly now.

Thanks for the report.
It's about getting it fixed for our thousands of users, not just you!

It strikes me as odd that they don't want DOIs since Springer in general has moved to adding DOIs where possible a while ago.
