Journal of Physiology style

iny202
Hi

For my course I'm supposed to reference in the style of the Journal of Physiology, a style that isn't available on zotero!

However, someone told me I could use the American Psychiatric Association 6 ed. style which is apparently the same - is this so?

I've had some problems with it - the style is supposed to be that if there are more than two authors, it only lists the first then et al. in the text, but for some reason, for some references, it decides to list them all...any ideas why?

Thanks!

    This is something you will have to check. But:

    Because APA 6th does not work the way you describe. The APA guides says to always cite two authors of a two author paper & that papers with 3-5 authors should be first cited with all names & then subsequently shortened. If J. Physiology does not use this pattern, then it does not follow APA 6th.
