Style errors [Wiley-VCH books]
Hi,
I found several errors in the Wiley-VCH Books style, after installing the latest version (2015-04-05 08:16:21). It appears from the source code that the style is indeed based on the same guidelines set forth from the publisher on books:
http://www.wiley-vch.de/publish/en/authors/auguidelines
I tried to focus on one error in each snippet below.
MAJOR errors:
1. Author surname order.
Current: S. Stewart and K.C. Kam
Correct: Stewart, S. and Kam, K.C.
2. Publication date-parenthetical year should follow authors
Current: Onodera, A., Inoue, K., Yoshihara, H. Synthesis of cubic boron nitride from rhombohedral under high static pressure. Journal of Materials Science, 25 (10), 429–484 (1990).
Correct: Onodera, A., Inoue, K., Yoshihara, H. (1990) Synthesis of cubic boron nitride from rhombohedral under high static pressure. Journal of Materials Science, 25 (10), 429–484.
3. Chapter/article/proceedings/report titles-should not be offset by quotation marks.
Current: Stewart, S. and Kam, K.C. (1990) "Radiotherapy techniques, planning and equipment," in Treatment of Cancer, 2nd edn (eds K. Sikora and K.E. Halnan), John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, pp. 827–851.
Correct: same as above, without quotations
4.Journal Volume number should be in parentheses
Current: Onodera, A., Inoue, K., Yoshihara, H. Synthesis of cubic boron nitride from rhombohedral under high static pressure. Journal of Materials Science, 25, 10, 429–484 (1990).
Correct: Onodera, A., Inoue, K., Yoshihara, H. (1990) Synthesis of cubic boron nitride from rhombohedral under high static pressure. Journal of Materials Science, 25, (10), 429–484.
5. No "and" necessary to delimit last author of with 3 or more authors
Current: Onodera, A., Inoue, K., and Yoshihara, H.
Correct: Onodera, A., Inoue, K., Yoshihara, H.
Greatly appreciate if these fixes could be made, as they globally affect my references. Thanks!

A reinstall worked to reflect the changes (switched between styles & refreshed in Word).
I see fixes for issues (1), (2), (3), (4). Thanks for pointing them out and for your quick response! Although not ideal, I can delete "and" in the editor for each citation for issue (5).
However, as a result of the fixes, "et al." is now included when 3 or more authors are listed. And the guidelines state:
We request that you, regardless of the number, name all authors.
This would be my big fix request to the current version. Any chance this is possible?
Never tried it, but I'll give it a go with the CSL editor to get it done (deadline's v. soon). Thanks for your help!
Worked perfectly on my first try, with no experience.
