International Organization style bibliography repeats author name

telagraham

I'm using International Organization for my citation style, which is working great. But I noticed that the bibliography it generates repeats the same author name for multiple works each time, rather than substituting ---.

My thesis is comparing two authors, so I have dozens of works by the same two authors, and the bibliography looks terrible with their names repeated over and over. If this is how the International Organization bibliography is supposed to look, is there either 1) a way I can modify it simply to substitute --- for repeated author names, or 2) an easy way to put in a different style bibliography without changing my citation style?

The only reason I'm nervous about #2 is because mixing styles gets scary with a huge doc I've been working on all year and am about to turn in. Help much appreciated.

1) is possible and pretty easy:

General instructions:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step

Specifically, change:

<bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="7" entry-spacing="0">

to:

<bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="7" entry-spacing="0" subsequent-author-substitute="———">

Please let us know if this is a requirement for the journal - if so, we can also fix this globally on the repository.

Thanks.

I know it's a requirement for what I'm doing--I don't know of any other styles that don't substitute --- for subsequent authors.

I wanna come back to this issue, since I've been running into it recently.

The "---" is indeed a requirement for the journal, but is not currently reflected in the style. Moreover, the style doesn't correctly sort an authors' publications per year in the bibliography.

Can this be fixed?

EDIT: Nvm, found instructions to make changes to style on Github.
