Style error: Journal of Biogeography

dinilu
Hi there, I just found a couple of errors in the style of Journal of Biogeography. First of all, the surnames should be separated from the first names with a comma ",", and references with more than 20 authors should be shortened to show only the first three authors and "et al.".

You can look at the journal citation style in that website: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1365-2699/homepage/ForAuthors.html

I have modified the style and created my own fixing these issues. You can find the my version here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0bxam7w5ez5b75n/journal-of-biogeography.csl?dl=0

Cheers,

    This style still seems to contain the same errors as reported above. The link to the modified style is unfortunately broken. Anybody has a updated corrected style for the Journal of Biogeography?

    A more correct citation style can be downloaded from http://editor.citationstyles.org (search for the journal)

    Both sites will have the exact same style. If anything, the styles on editor.citation... are usually older by 3 months or so.
    I'll have a look into the style though and get it updated to match the guidelines.

    edit:
    I've made the changes and the updated style will be up withina day or two usually. We'll announce it here.

    Hi there.

    The new style is up on the style repository. https://www.zotero.org/styles

    Sorry for not replying earlier and thank you for the updating the style in the repository.

    Hopefully this is still active. I'm trying to use biogeography's citation style but they do smith, peter et al. 2024 rather than smith et al. 2024a when two citations have the same first author and year. I know this is technically correct for apa, but I've looked at previous biogeography publications and they use a/b style. Is there a way to fix this/an updated reference style somewhere?

    Our style is a dependent style of APA.
    This is in line with what the journal says:
    References
    This journal uses APA reference style. Review your reference style guidelines prior to submission; however, this is for information only and you do not need to format the references in your article. This will instead be taken care of by the typesetter.
