Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research - # of Authors in Reference

jhornick

In the current iteration in Zotero of the JSCR style, articles with 6 or more authors are being referenced listing the first six authors followed by et al.

Per the current JSCR Online Submission and Review System page, the reference should follow this format: "For journal entries with 6 or more co-authors, please list the first 3 names followed by et al."

Instead of having to go back once a paper is finished and correct references, as student at my college are having to do, is there a way to easily edit the style so that a reference lists only the first three authors for articles with six or more?

Yes. That was what I consulted. They specify that for articles with 6 or more authors, references should list only the first 3 followed by et al. The style from the repository currently lists out the first six.

Thanks, poettli, for helping out. I barely have time for these things anymore, so it's appreciated you're making this easier.

Thanks so much - I see that it's being worked on now. I have not done this before. Does this mean it will be updated in the style repository? I appreciate all the work folks do to keep things running smoothly.
