Citation Style for CVs - No in-text marks, bibliography sorted descendingly and numered reversely

graumann
Hi,

I'm looking into how to set up a citation style that would be based on the Cell Journal style in the repository, but have the following features:

1) NO in-text marks - no author/year, no number style markers, I JUST want the bibliography and be able to stack it from my zotero database

2) Bibliography sorted inversely by publication date - the newest publication should be up top.

3) Bibliography entries should be Numbered starting with the last (oldest) item.

Item 2) is easily achieved, but I have no clue how to go about the other 2. Can someone point out how to do this?

Thanks, Joh

    for 1)
    Why don't you just used "Edit Bibliography" or, alternatively, create the Bibliography in Zotero rather than the plugin (select the items, right-click, create bibliography.

    Edit 3) I don't think 3) is possible: Numeric styles - which is what you'd have to use, always start the bibliography with 1).

    Actually, I was thinking the easiest way to do a CV is to just do it in Word, but copy-and-paste the formatted bibliography entries in?

    Is there any reason that's not sufficient?

    @bdarcus: This is obviously what I'm currently doing, but it's somewhat besides the point of using a citation manager, no?

    you're still getting the bibliographic information from Zotero.
    I think Bruce and I mean the same thing when I say:
    "reate the Bibliography in Zotero rather than the plugin (select the items, right-click, create bibliography.)"

    That still doesn't get you 3) but unless you're incredibly prolific adding the numbers by hand shouldn't be a big deal.

    Alternatively you could modify the style to be in-text, with the full citation in text, no footnote. Then just insert each citation into your cv as you would footnotes.
