Adjustments required to 'Monash University - Harvard' citation guide
Hi,
I've just spent way to long playing with the online citation editor and now I am coming here for help.
The Monash University - Harvard citation guide has several errors:
- Does not shorten in text citations of 4+ authors to be 1st author et al.
- Suffix , is missing after the article name in article bibliography entries
- The bibliography entry for a report is very wrong, it should be (for example): Reese, A 2013 'Sectarian and regional conflict in the Middle East', Middle East Security Report 13, Institute for the study of war, viewed 27 August 2013, http://www.understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/SectarianandRegionalConflictintheMiddleEast_3JUL.pdf. (NOTE: I think this is because dissertation and report are categorized together when they are very different items).
The list of errors goes on but those are the 3 that are going to create most of my issues. I have a document with the specific details for the citation guide and tried going through the editor one by one but I got lost and it was rough.
What do I do to fix these?

1. et-al: The style has et-al-min=5, et-al-use-first=1 set correctly.
2. article-journal, comma: added
3. reports: adapted
If there is more mistakes, please point them out, in a current vs guidelines fashion, in a numbered list with space in between, so it's easy to see. (like here in this post).
Style now updated and it'll have a timestamp from 09-03-2021.
