Inclusion of PMID for NIH proposals

corried2
Is there a citation style that includes the PMID, which is needed for NIH proposals?

As a work around, I tried changing the American Medical Association style by following http://www.zotero.org/suppor/csl_simple_edits#what_changes_can_i_make.

But I got stumped on three things:

1. How do you select a zotero citation so that you can see it in the lower portion of the test pane?

2. Where do you put <text variable=“note”> so that the Extras category, which includes PMID, appears at the end of each citation in the bibliography?

3. Once you have saved changes to a .csl file in TextEdit, and dragged the file into a Firefox page, how do you "click Install'? I could not find an "Install" button or pulldown to click.

Thanks

    1. Just select it in Zotero (i.e. open Zotero, and select the citation and then either close it or don't)

    2. I'd suggest at the end of the bibliography section, right before </bibliography>

    3. The install should be prompted - when you drag to the open FF window a message pops-up asking if you want to install.. If not, there is probably something wrong with the file (it might be saved as rtf rather than plain-text?)

    Hi,

    I'm trying to do the same thing as corried2, but I am stumped.

    If I add

    <text variable= "volume" />

    into the science (dev) style just above

    </layout>
    </bibliography>
    </style>

    sure enough, an extra volume number shows up at the end of the bibliographic citation.

    But if I change my extra line to read

    <text variable= "extra" />

    nothing happens. Extra seems to be where PMID: 1234 sits, and I need to add it for an NIH grant application. I also tried using <text variable=“note”> as corried2 was trying. Several other variables also didn't show up. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    "extra" doesn't exist as a variable name. You have to use "note" to get the content of the extra field in Zotero
    make sure you use
    <text variable=“note”/>
    including the slash at the end.
    Also make sure you actually have the PMID in the extra field in Zotero

    Thank you. I think it was the slash that I was missing. This line worked great:

    <text prefix=" " variable= "note"/>

    Using Tracyme's method
    1) open a text program
    2) past the code here http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2205075/NIH Style PMID.csl
    3) save with the extension .csl not .txt
    4) drag and drop the file into your open browser and zotero will automatically install it.

    I'd recommend against using that style. See here for details: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/34622/nih-format/#Item_4
