APA 6th ed. References with more than seven authors
One of the changes in the new APA manual refers to references with more than seven authors. Now, in addition to the first 6 authors, the last author should be listed, while all others should be omitted.
For example:
Terracciano, A., Abdel-Khalek, A. M., Adam, N., Adamovova, L., Ahn, C.,
Ahn, H., . . . McCrae, R. R. (2005, October 7). National character
does not reflect mean personality trait levels in 49 cultures.
Science, 310, 96–100. doi:10.1126/science.1117199

Can zotero accomplish this?

Elena once suggested I send an editorial on the insanity of citation styling to something like the Chronicle of Higher Ed. I think that's moving up my priority list.
