Style Error: Genome Research

yuyak
I just wanted to report a few errors I found and was hoping someone could fix it at some point. I'm basing these on what's mentioned here: http://genome.cshlp.org/site/misc/ifora_mspreparation.xhtml

1) In the bibliography, it should list "up to 10" authors before the "et al."
2) In the bibliography, the author name should be LAST FM, where there are no commas, periods or spaces between the first and middle initials.

3) In text, it should be last name + et al. only. This may be just the citation I got messed up, but one of my citation also lists the first and middle initial.

Thanks + Best Regards

    thanks for reporting - I'll fix 1 and 2 asap and let you know.

    Thanks!

    3 was pretty easy to resolve after seeing your post.

    Hi adamsmith,

    I was curious if you've had time to deal with this yet. The current version in the repository is still dated: 2008-11-03 20:10:12

    I'm hoping to submit a paper to them this week and I'd rather not have to build a library and redo all my citations with another program :(

    Thanks.

    Can anyone PLEASE help me with this? We're trying to submit this paper tomorrow.

    I tried to follow the instructions on "Creating and modifying styles" but have no idea what I'm doing.

    Thanks!

    done - check for the Cold Spring Harbor Press style - it will show today's date once it updates on the repository - usually within hours (the date behind Genome Research won't change - it's just a link to the CSHP style, since all their journals follow a unified style)

    edit: note that in order to actually update citations after a style update you need to switch to a different style and back.
