et al.
Hi,
We have our referencing style in Zotero: LUSEM's Harvard referencing style; however, there seems to be a couple of small issues with it.
1. Our guidelines state that et al. can only be used in in-text citations for 4 or more authors and only after all authors have been presented in the text for the first time.
Zotero is now putting et al. for the first time (other have experienced it with et al after three authors).
2. A full-stop should not be placed after each reference entry in the reference list.
Would someone be able to help me fix these issues, please.
Many thanks
Julienne

I can certainly look into those issues.
1. Can you provide a link to the current style guidelines so I can verify these changes and also include a working link into the style for future reference?
2. Can you please change the title of the thread to something more specific?
Thanks
