Style error: Lipids

Sabine_Lengger · January 28, 2015

Hi there,

There is a style error in the citation style for "Lipids". The bibliography uses "et al." for more than three authors, when it should cite them in full.

In addition, book sections do not seem to be cited as "In:" when they should be cited as

McMaster CR, Jackson RJ (2003) Lipids: cellular glue or are they more than that? In: Daum G (ed) Lipid Metabolism and Membrane Biogenesis, Springer Berlin Heidelberg

Could that be fixed?

Cheers
Sabine

Oh, and, it uses a hanging indent when (I think) it shouldn't. Though that's easy to fix in word.

where is the info about not using et al from? Can't see anything in the instructions for authors.
You can use the style "Springer Basic (numeric, brackets, no "et al.")"
for a version without et al., though.

The "In:" looks right to me--check the preview on zotero.org/styles -- are you sure you have the data entered correctly?

You're almost certainly right about the hanging indent, that's odd. We'll fix it.

Hi there,

No, you are right - there is no info about the et al. in the author instructions, but if you look at their published papers, you see that they cite all authors - that's how I found out.

If the In: looks right, then it's probably my fault :)

Thanks for the indent fixing!
