Upgrade StorageAPA 6 broken?
Im having some troubles with the APA 6 style:
When citing in a paper:
(B O Rothbaum, Edna B Foa, .. S. Riggs, T. Murdock, & Walsh, 1992)
As you can see zotero include first name letters and it shouldnt
In reference list it looks like this:
Rothbaum, B. O., Foa, E. B., Riggs, .. S., Murdock, T., & Walsh, W. (1992). A prospective examination of post-traumatic stress disorder in rape victims. Journal of Traumatic Stress, 5(3), 455-475. doi:10.1007/BF00977239
The name Riggs, .. S., is wrong it should be: Riggs, D. S.,
#
Anyone else having the same problemes??

oh and about Riggs - recheck the item in Zotero - probably the "D." or the respective first name just isn't there.
I have used zotero to cite an electronic source:
Eurydice. (2004). Evaluation of schools providing compulsory education in Europe. Luxembourg: Eurydice. Retrieved from http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/ressources/eurydice/pdf/0_integral/042EN.pdf
I wonder why the date is missing. Do I have to add it manually? In the record entry I have entered the date when I accessed the source. It is displayed in German date format though because my Windows XP is in German.

APA 5 does and I still have to work with that version. :-/
Is it possible to make the APA 5 style accessible again? Thanks.
That's the main reason I object to people requiring its use - I'm not going to go check out the guide from the library...
Thanks. It works now :-)

According to the APA Manual 6th ed (p207) the template given "For an unpublished dissertation or thesis" is:
Author, A. A. (1978). Title of doctoral dissertation or master's thesis (Unpublished doctoral dissertation or master's thesis). Name of Institution, Location.
If I understand it correctly, Zotero reverses the Name of Institution and Location and uses a ":" rather than "," . My reference above should be as follows.

Next time someone is mucking around with this style please take a look at this. Thanks.
I'll have a look soon, thanks for reporting.

The problem is that the editor should not be in parenthesis I dont' think. I can't find precedent for it in the APA Manual. Editors seem to be treated correctly in Zotero references that are not in a series. Usually something like-- Name (Ed.),
Your 2nd issue is a bit more tricky - Zotero isn't set up well to handle series editors - and it doesn't seem as if APA cites them at all - I generally have never seen series editors cited so I'd keep them as contributors in your database - unless you have seen examples to the contrary.
What Zotero does here is treat the editor like a translator (who is indeed put into parentheses after the title).
Before I start changing this I'd want to know what APA wants exactly - I couldn't find anything.
