First name in APA style, no doi, no issues

dwallin

Hi,

I am using the APA style with no doi and no issues listed. I am finding that the first initials are being used in the in-text citations sometimes. I have checked that the author is listed in the two-field manner and there aren't multiple copies of the entry being cited.

Any other ideas on why first initials are being used?

Thanks

First initials are used if an author's last name is listed more than once AND there are any differences in how the author names are entered in your Zotero database. Even a slight difference will be treated as though the items are different authors.

Thank you, I didn't realize this.
