Reference Style - inconsistency in authors names
Hi,
When I create the references for my papers, (I'm using Chicago Manual of Style and / or The Accounting Review) I need the authors surname first, followed by either the initial or the full name.
However, while the first author is correct, I'm seeing that the second and third authors have their names and initials first:
Eg: (This is The Accounting Review style)
Blackwell, L. S., C. S. Dweck, and K. H. Trzesniewski. 2007. Implicit Theories of Intelligence Predict Achievement across an Adolescent Transition: A Longitudinal Study and an Intervention. Child Development 78 (1): 246–263.
(Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition)
Blackwell, Lisa S., Carol Sorich Dweck, and Kali H. Trzesniewski. “Implicit Theories of Intelligence Predict Achievement across an Adolescent Transition: A Longitudinal Study and an Intervention.” Child Development 78, no. 1 (2007): 246–63.
I've checked the accuracy of the authors' fields (a few times!), and tried a few papers... with the same outcome.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks as always for your help :)

That is the correct name format for the standard Chicago style. First author: Lastname, firstname. Subsequent authors: Firstname Lastname.
If your journal requires subsequent authors to be in the Lastname, Firstname format there are likely Chicago-like styles in Zotero that will do that. https://www.zotero.org/styles
Thank you!
