Style Error: Global Ecology and Biogeography

dinilu

Hi there!

I just found a mismatch between this style and the current requirements from the journal. I changed the style to remove the disambiguate-add-names="true" disambiguate-add-givenname="true" options.

Here is the link to the modified style, just in case you want to check it out and update the version in the repository. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33940356/global-ecology-and-biogeography.csl

Best and thank you for the great tools!

Thanks.
What are you basing this on? The Author Guidelines don't say anything about this either way (they just talk about what to do with items by the same author, not by different authors with same last name, nor anything about same 2nd or 3rd author). Do you have an example from a published article or word from the editor?

Hi, thank you for answering. I hope the next help to clarify.

In the Author Guidelines (point 5. References) they state "When reference is made to a work by three of more authors the first name followed by et al. is used on all ocassions." Hence, disambiguation should be made base in the first author only, and not in 2nd or 3rd.

This is illustrated in this paper from December 2013: Menéndez, R., González-Megías, A., Jay-Robert, P. and Marquéz-Ferrando, R. (2014), Climate change and elevational range shifts: evidence from dung beetles in two European mountain ranges. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 23: 646–657. doi: 10.1111/geb.12142. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/geb.12142/full

In that paper, Chen et al. (2011a and b) share only the two first authors, but the third is different.

Best,

I forgot to mention that I also ordered cites in lists by chronological order, and then alphabetically within years, as requested by the journal as well.

Best,

The style is now fixed. The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp). Update your copy of the style by clicking "Update Now" in the General tab of the Zotero preferences.

Styles also update automatically within 24hs for Zotero 4.0+
In an existing document, you may have to switch to a different style and back for the changes to take effect once the style is updated.
Any further problems please let us know & thanks for reporting
