How to display shortened surname in in-text citations while keeping full surname in bibliography

pablox_cl

Hi everyone,

I have an author whose first and last name are identical: Servando David Trujillo Trujillo. In the Zotero author field I have "Trujillo Trujillo" as the last name and "Servando David" as the first name, which generates the correct bibliographic entry.

However, APA 7 guidelines for Spanish-language names indicate that only the first surname should appear in in-text citations: (Trujillo, 2017), while the full double surname should remain in the reference list: Trujillo Trujillo, S. D. (2017).

Is there a way to achieve this in Zotero without manually editing every in-text citation? I'm thinking of either:

- A CSL modification that allows different rendering of the author name in citations vs. bibliography
- A field in the Extra metadata that overrides the author-short display
- Any other workaround that doesn't break the sync between in-text citations and the reference list

I'm currently using APA 7th edition style and Zotero 9.0.4 with the Word plugin (in a Mac).

Thanks in advance.

Bump (sorry if this is not allowed).

I'm not aware of a reasonable way to do this, I'm afraid. @bwiernik, any ideas?

The APA 7th edition publication manual says to include both surnames in both the reference list and in-text citations (see section 9.9 and example 25 in chapter 10). Are you working with a specific Spanish-language publisher/regional adaptation of APA with other rules? If you’re working with official APA style, I’d recommend keeping the current behavior and including both surnames in text.

If you do need to include only the first surname in text to follow your publisher’s style guide, then I’m not sure of a good way to accomplish it either unfortunately.
