"AM" appearing after citation

crashly26 · March 24, 2017

Does anyone know why all of a sudden "AM" is appearing after a citation. I've been using Zotero for the past 8 months, and I didn't change any settings. Then in the middle of this paper, the citation appears, and AM follows. Example: [16]AM. This is occurring in a table. I saw someone had a problem with PM occurring in the past. I tried erasing the table and starting a new one, but it still appears.

First, check that you haven't inadvertently typed AM in the citation's suffix field.

What style are you using and what item type? Are you using Word or LibreOffice? Does it appear in citations outside of tables or if you change citation styles?

It's something that Word is doing in fields in tables -- presumably somehow recognizing them as times?. We don't know why it does that, nor, I'm afraid, any way to prevent it.
