Lansiaux E (2025) Un nouvel outil pour le formatage des citations destinées aux Annales françaises de médecine d’urgence à l’aide de Zotero. Ann Fr Med Urgence 15 :1-2. doi : 10.1684/afmu.2025.0653
If this CSL style doesn’t give the expected output, first make sure that you are running the latest version of Zotero and have the most recent version of the style installed from the Zotero Style Repository. Once you have made sure that the style deviates from the style guide, instructions for authors, or published examples, report the error in the Zotero Forums. For your post, use the title “Style Error: [Name of style]”, and give a link to, or excerpt from, the style guide that shows that the CSL style is wrong. You can also try to edit the style yourself.
Furthermore, you could contact here the AFMUZotero package author in order to solve it.
The whole, written on a separate file, includes only the references cited in the article. References are arranged in the order of appearance in the text and numbered. The bibliographic reference is made directly in the text, by the reference number in square brackets, before the final point of the sentence. International standards are used as follows:
- Author's name in lowercase followed by a space and the initial of the first name (Dupont J). If the reference has two to four authors, a comma will separate the initial of the first name of the first and the last name of the second. If there are more than four authors, only the names and initials of the first three authors will be indicated and then followed by “et al”; year of publication in parentheses;
- full title followed by a period. In the case of a chapter or part extracted from a work, indicate after the title “In:” followed by the name(s) and initial(s) of the main author(s) (followed by 'a comma) and the title of the work followed by a period. Publisher (followed by a comma), place of publication (followed by a comma), and cited page numbers separated by a hyphen.
