Full text bibliography entries

jaiun4
I apologize if this has been covered - I couldn't locate it in the forums.

How does one create a bibliographic text entry - say 4-5 sentences - that should show up in its entirety in the bibliography? (Essentially a footnote in the bibliography.) However I generate it, it gets cut off at the first sentence in the bib.

I'd like it to be agnostic to what style bibliography is being used. I'm guessing it's a setting in how I generate the actual reference entry, but I haven't found one that works. Can anyone help please?

    you'd have to be more explicit about what you want - i.e. give examples
    How is that different from using
    Chicago Manual of Style with Endnotes?

    Thanks for the note. Let me clarify. Suppose I want to use the "Nature" bibliography style for all the other entries in my bibliography. However for one entry, I would like to have a reference in the text (let's say #43) show up thus as several full sentences in the bibliography:

    43. The frequency of mutation in these genes can be calculated two ways. The first, employed here, groups all small insertions and deletions similarly but apart from single nucleotide substitutions. The other, etc etc etc.

    Is this possible by assigning a "type" of reference in my bibliography, so that it shows up in full text like this, no matter what bibliography style I use?

    Thank you!

    This sounds like you're actually trying to add an additional endnote or footnote. Such an entry would not be connected to a specific entry in your Zotero library. In your word processor, just insert an endnote/footnote at the appropriate location and type away. Such notes will not be touched by Zotero, and they will not change when you switch bibliographic styles.

    what ajlyon says and you cannot use the "Nature" style with that as things are (and that wouldn't make sense, either, the way the Nature style is designed). You want an Endnoted style, such as Chicago Full note with Bibliography (but you wouldn't actually insert a bibliography).
