Bibliography with author initials - Chicago style

alycest

I'm only new to this, so please forgive me if the answer is obvious. I've been able to tweak a few things, but can't fix my references for Chicago citations.

What is want is :
Roeckner, E., Bengtsson, L., Feichter, J., Lelieveld, J., and H.H Rodhe (1999) Transient climate change simulations with a coupled atmosphere-ocean GCM including the tropospheric sulfur cycle. Journal of Climate, 12(10) 3004-3032. Doi:6421.5321

What I keep getting is :
Roeckner, Earl., Larry Bengtsson, Joe Feichter, Jim Lelieveld, & Heidi Rodhe (1999). Transient climate change simulations with a coupled atmosphere-ocean GCM including the tropospheric sulfur cycle. Journal of Climate, 12(10), 3004-3032. Doi: 145.421.4

How can I initialise the authors given name?

Thanks!

the short version is to add initialize-with="." to the relevant <name .../> nodes.
Does that work as instruction or do you need more details?

Thank you so much for this, glad you have an answer!
I've had a couple of fiddles, though I find the solution?
Where should I add it in?

no, you essentially want to find every line in the style that starts with <name... (not the ones that start with <names in the plural) and add intialize-with="." somewhere in that line.
So e.g. change
<name and="text" delimiter=", "/>
to
<name and="text" delimiter=", " initialize-with="."/>

All of this is further up in the style, not in the sections you copied here.

Perfect, thanks
