APA "et al" again
Hi there,
I'm using Zotero 2.0b6.2 and for some reason the APA style implementation doesn't seem to be compliant with the APA guide.
When using either the Word plugin or "chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul" I get the following results:
Single Citations
(R. Schneider et al., 2006)
Multi Citations
(R. Schneider et al., 2006)
For what I've seen, the APA style requires up to 5 authors to be listed on the first reference. Maybe a new bug?
The APA CSL is:
<citation>
<option name="et-al-min" value="6"/>
<option name="et-al-use-first" value="1"/>
Shouldn't it be
<citation>
<option name="et-al-min" value="5"/>
<option name="et-al-use-first" value="5"/>
?
