Hello,
Zotero's style sheet for the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences seems to cite doctoral dissertations incorrectly. Here's how Zotero cited a dissertation I referenced:
Otterstatter MC (2007) Dynamics of an intestinal pathogen within and between bumble bee hosts.
Here's how dissertations are referenced in that journal:
Otterstatter, M.C. (2007) Dissertation (University of Toronto, Toronto, ON).
I fixed the problem manually, but maybe this should be changed? Thanks!

- Could you provide a link to a paper that cites a dissertation or instructions discussing this? That style (e.g. periods for author initials) seems inconsistent with their other reference formats.
- Sorry about that, I was wrong to include the periods for author initials. Also, in more recent PNAS papers, the title is included, along with 'PhD' before the word 'Dissertation'. Here's an example:
Adler LL (1980) Adjustment of the Yuba River, California, to the influx of hydraulic
mining debris, 1849–1979. PhD dissertation (University of California, Los Angeles).
You can see this in a recent paper titled 'Enduring legacy of a toxic fan via episodic redistribution of California gold mining debris' and available here:

Thanks for your help. - edited November 3, 2013The style has been fixed. You can update your version of the style via Preferences -> General -> Update Now. You will also need to refresh the bibliography in your word processor. (though depending on how you fixed the bibliography manually yourself, this may not work)
