Remark : In the text the reference should be numbered in bracket in ascending order, e.g. [1], [2], etc. Single or two authors can be referred in the text; three or more authors should be shortened to the last name of the first author, like Smith et al.

    This looks like it might work?

    Hi,

    No. I don't think this style for this.

    [1]Campbell, J. L., & Pedersen, O. K, The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success, Comp. Polit. Stud. 40(3) (2007) 307–332.

    [2]Mares, I. Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers? In P. A. Hall & D. Soskice (Eds.), Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage, Oxford University Press, New York, USA, (2001).

    Now, I am editing based on springer basic. However,i have no idea how to set for author name.
    The rule is "Single or two authors can be referred in the text; three or more authors should be shortened to the last name of the first author, like Smith et al.".
    Can you help me how to set up for this ?
    THe URL below is mine that i edited .

    you're misunderstanding the author bit there: it refers to talking about authors in the text--that has nothing to do with citations. Those are just [2] or [2-3] etc.

    Oh. No. it is the rule about author indication in "Reference", not text.
    Can you help me how to set on the example bibliography ?
  • zuphilip
    How did you derive with your examples in your first post here? They look different to the examples from the information for authors page.

    right, that's quite different. Looks quite a bit like the Elsevier styles like Biochimica et Biophysica Acta

    edit: and after glancing at the instructions, I really don't think they mean for you to use et al. in the bibliography, but if you really want to, it's the et-al-min and the et-al-use-first setting after clicking on "Bibliography" (in the visual editor).

    Hi,
    Just did the main work for this style. Can anybody with access send me a paper of theirs so I can check a few things? Ideally one with a chapter reference and one with many authors.
    Thanks.

    I've sent you a sample, but couldn't find a chapter, sorry, Everyone seems to cite just journal articles. I've seen no et al so far and at least 6 authors listed.

    Thanks @adamsmith :)
    I see they got et al. for references with more than 3 authors.
    How can you put an "and" with 3 authors?
    e.g. "S. Wu, M. J. Zuo and A. Parey"

    edit: I see it does that automatically. Fancy that! :)
