Dataset reference as first reference negating formatting of entire bibliography

edited June 27, 2023
Hi,

I am having a very strange issue that I can't work out.

I have a couple of particular references that strip the entire bibliography of all italics somehow if one of them is the first reference in the document. If they are in the reference list but not the first reference, they and all other references in the bibliography are formatted correctly/normally.

They are dataset type references but there are other dataset references that don't do it. I have not come across any other references that are doing it.

I'm using citation style: American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition (numeric, superscript)

Very strange!! Any ideas??

Thanks, P

Update: After some more playing, I've discovered that it happens with references of any type if the title is more than 129 characters. I can't change the titles, though - they are what they are... Are there any other workarounds?
