Style Error: [Swiss Journal of Geosciences]

apantet · November 14, 2018

Hello,
it seems that when adding citation with word plugin in some cases the first name of the author is added (which is in contradiction with the SJG guidelines for authors (04.2012) . It seems this occurs especially when using the "field-type" citation in word, but also sometimes with the "Bookmarks-type" citation.

A second contradiction with the SJG guidelines for authors (04.2012) is that when adding several authors in a citation, the guidelines stipulates to sort them by year (ascending). With the present style, they are sorted by alphabetical order of the authors.

Thank you very much for your help,

adrien

The first is likely this https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation

The second one should be fixed. @damnation @adamsmith

SJG is a dependent style of Springer - SocPsych (author-date). We had another german style here the other day (Sportwissenschaften) that was also a dependent of that and seemed to be incorrect. Might look like Springer changed something.

Thank you for your advise and comments. I made these modifications (delte name disambiguation from the code and sort only by issued and not by author) from the style Springer - SocPsych (author-date) and saved it as a new style named Springer - SocPsych (author-date) -modified AP version4 (http://www.zotero.org/styles/springer-socpsych-author-date-modified-ap-version-4). As I'm a total begginer in csl, perhaps. it's better to control that everything is OK before updating the style Swiss Journal of Geosciences with these modifications.
