names with Junior

fpantin
Hi there,

how should I code the names with a 'Junior' in Zotero to get a 'Jr' in the appropriate place when I cite them?

For instance, to cite the article at this link
http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/2436259

I would like in the text:
(Avery, 1933)
This is OK now since the last name is coded as 'Avery' and the first name as 'George S. Jr.'.


And in the bibliography section:
Avery GS Jr, 1933. Structure and development of the tobacco leaf. American Journal of Botany 20: 565–591.

instead of
Avery GSJ, 1933. Structure and development of the tobacco leaf. American Journal of Botany 20: 565–591.


Thanks

Florent

    Try entering the name as:

    family: Avery
    given: George S., Jr.

    (With a comma)

    Perfect, many thanks!

    only when the name is spelled out in the regular order - i.e.
    George S. Avery Jr. - if you input it like fbennett advises above, that will work correctly for style that have names in normal order.
    But otherwise no - the Jr. refers to the first name (there are two George Avery's, he's the younger one of the Georges), that's why it gets placed with it in sorted lists.

    That's good to learn on!
