Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research - Formatting of Authors Field

In the current iteration of JSCR style in Zotero, references for articles with 2 to 5 authors are being generated with "and" inserted before the final author.

Per the current JSCR Online Submission and Review System page (https://edmgr.ovid.com/jscr/accounts/ifauth.htm), authors' names should only be separated by commas, without the addition of the "and."

For example:

(1) Hartung GH, Blancq RJ, Lally DA, Krock LP. Estimation of aerobic capacity from submaximal cycle ergometry in women. Med Sci Sports Exerc 27: 452–457, 1995.

(2) Viru A, Viru M, Harris R, Oopik V, Nurmekivi A, Medijainen L, Timpmann S. Performance capacity in middle-distance runners after enrichment of diet by creatine and creatine action on protein synthesis rate. In: Proceedings of the 2nd Maccabiah-Wingate International Congress of Sport and Coaching Sciences. G. Tenenbaum and T. Raz-Liebermann, eds. Netanya, Israel, Wingate Institute, 1993. pp. 22–30.

Currently, the students are having to go in to their finished manuscripts to remove the "and" -- would it be possible to correct this formatting issue?
  • Please never recommend to manually remove anything. Citation software and styles are meant to do this for you and manually editing citations then doesn't allow you to update them.
    I've pushed a fix and the update should be available in 1-2h.
  • Oh, I absolutely caution them about that and let them know that they should never do it until they are absolutely sure everything is ready to turn in.

    But if they don't make the correction when they turn it in, their professors will dock their grades, so having this fix will be very helpful for them.

    Anyhow, thank you so much for making the fix- they will be very happy.
