Shows different data in references

incla12
All of my thesis references show up in the format author, year like this:
(Winter, 2007). This is how I want things to look. However some references show up differently with a title of a book instead of the author like this: (Theories of the policy process, 2007)- The title being in italics.
Why is that, and how do i change it so that all references show up with the same info (author, year)
Thanks in advance.

    Does the entry (Theories of the policy process, 2007)have an author listed in the Zotero item?

    Thankyou. I checked for author, and he was there, but he was listed as a contributor, since it is an anthology. I changed him to editor, and that seemes to have fixed the reference problem. However we still have the problem, that there is no obvious way to handle anthologies in Zotero.

    If by "anthology" you just mean an edited book like Sabatier's Theories of the Policy Press I don't quite see where the problem is: you add it as a regular book and make sure the editor is labelled as an editor. If you're talking about something different, could you provide an example?
  • incla12
    Yes, it is that book. I guess i just list different contributors if i am referencing to a text written by someone else, and then add the chapter or page in a prefix.

    no. For chapters in an edited book see

    absolutely don't do this with prefixes.
