Authors names abbreviated
Hi,
I created a reference list and for some ref-s, the authors names were abbreviated. For example:
QL, M., P, C., M, Y., and (Apr, U. K. (2003) Alpha-synuclein aggregation and neurodegenerative diseases. J. Alzheimers Dis.
I want to have full last names. I have tried several styles. Names are abbreviated in all styles.

Here is the bibtex file that i imported
@comment{ Kolko M., Wang J., Zhan C., Poulsen K. A., Prause J. U., Nissen M.
H., Heegaard S., Bazan N. G. 2007. Identification of intracellular
phospholipases A2 in the human eye: involvement in phagocytosis of
photoreceptor outer segments. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 48:
1401–140 }
@book{2007identification,
author = "Kolko M. and Wang J. and Zhan C. and Poulsen K. A. and Prause J. U. and Nissen M. H. and Heegaard S. and Bazan N. G.",
title = "Identification of intracellular phospholipases {A}2 in the human eye: involvement in phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments",
publisher = "Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci",
year = 2007
}
in the zotero authors are listed with their full last names and initialized first names, however in the reference list i get the following when i use zotero
M, K., J, W., C, Z., A, P. K., U, P. J., H, N. M., S, H., and G, B. N. (2007) Identification of intracellular phospholipases A2 in the human eye: involvement in phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments, Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci
In your bibtex file, there is no comma between the last name and the initials, so Zotero interprets these as being in the form "First Last" rather than "Last First".
You might be able to edit the bibtex file with a regex-based search&replace and re-import as an alternative.
something like (no guarantees whatsoever)
/(author = .+ )([A-Z][a-z]+)(\s[A-Z]\.)/$1$2,$3/
Do you know if i insert a citation in the middle of the text with something like Nature or JBC style (numbers), will it add the number to the end of the list or appropriately where its needed.
Something like: i have 100 citations and the new citation goes in the middle (45). When I add the citation will I have 101 or 45?
Edit: that assumes working with a word processor plugin, obviously. Bibliographies created using "Create Bibliography" from Zotero are static.
