Multiple authors do not collapse to et al. in text
Hej,
I have a problem with in text citing, using the American Psychological Association 6th edition which always worked fine. All of a sudden it has decided that all authors will be displayed in the intext citatation, where I would want et al. It is however, not constant for some odd reason and I can't figure it out for the life of me.
For example: I want to cite these 4: (Lopuhaa et al., 2000; Roseboom, van der Meulen, Osmond, Barker, Ravelli, & Bleker, 2000; Roseboom, van der Meulen, Osmond, Barker, Ravelli, Schroeder-Tanka, et al., 2000; Roseboom, van der Meulen, Ravelli, et al., 2000)
This is the bibliography:
Lopuhaa, C. E., Roseboom, T. J., Osmond, C., Barker, D. J. P., Ravelli, A. C. J., Bleker, O. P., … van der Meulen, J. H. P. (2000). Atopy, lung function, and obstructive airways disease after prenatal exposure to famine. Thorax, 55(7), 555–561. doi:10.1136/thorax.55.7.555
Roseboom, T. J., van der Meulen, J. H. P., Osmond, C., Barker, D. J. P., Ravelli, A. C. J., & Bleker, O. P. (2000). Plasma lipid profiles in adults after prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 72(5), 1101–1106.
Roseboom, T. J., van der Meulen, J. H. P., Osmond, C., Barker, D. J. P., Ravelli, A. C. J., Schroeder-Tanka, J. M., … Bleker, O. P. (2000). Coronary heart disease after prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine, 1944-45. Heart, 84(6), 595–598. doi:10.1136/heart.84.6.595
Roseboom, T. J., van der Meulen, J. H. P., Ravelli, A. C. J., Osmond, C., Barker, D. J. P., & Bleker, O. P. (2000). Plasma fibrinogen and factor VII concentrations in adults after prenatal exposure to famine. British Journal of Haematology, 111(1), 112–117. doi:10.1046/j.1365-2141.2000.02268.x
As you can see, the first reference collapses as it should with more than 2 authors, the next do not, the 4th is so erratic it lists 3 authors and et al.
Please help me kick some sense into zotero, because this is unmanagable.
Thank you!
