Zotero minimalist referencing style for grant applications

I use a custom Zotero referencing style when writing grant applications. It is designed to save space, and uses the following features:

  • In-text citations are denoted by superscript numerals
  • Reference list has single line spacing
  • No journal article titles
  • Journal names are abbreviated
  • No journal issue numbers
  • ≥ 3 author names are listed as "et al."

After each reference, I have inserted two forward slashes to demarcate separate references. I have also bolded the numeral that precedes each reference.

Once the reference list has been created, you may delete the carriage returns so that each reference does not take a new line.
