Add More Citation Styles
If your course uses AMA or another citation style, you will have to add that to Zotero.
- Open Zotero preferences (on Mac, Zotero menu/preferences; on Windows, Edit menu/preferences).
- Click on the “Cite” tab, then the “Styles” sub-tab.
Click the link that says “get additional styles” in that tab. - Find the style you need, and click on it to load it into Zotero.
