cite the same reference multiple times - How to

pereiv
Dear All

Would you know how to show in-text citations (superscript) to the same reference with the same number?

If you click on the same document several times when creating a citation Zotero creates a new superscript every time instead of using the first superscript linked to the document.

    Depends on the citation style. It sounds like you're using a footnote style like Chicago Manual. Footnotes are always sequential.
    You want a numeric style (like Nature) instead -- that will automatically repeat the number for the same cited item. Note that you will need to insert a bibliography to actually see the references for numeric styles.

    Thank you for your answer.

    I am using MHRA style guide 4th edition (notes).

    Even if I copy the superscript and paste it somewhere else it adjust the number and adds a duplicated refence in the footnotes.

    I cannot refer in the text more than once to a specific citation. Is this a glitch?

    Zotero's note styles uses Word's footnot function. If you want to refer to a previous note use the Word own functionality to do so.

    Alternatively, use a numeric style as adamsmith mentioned. IEEE or one of the many hundred styles out there.
