Examples: (Weitz et al., 2012; Matthew Chojnacki, Burr, & Moersch, 2014)..... should be "Chojnacki et al., 2014" and (M. Bourke et al., 2003) ... should be "Bourke et al., 2003"
This one is odd too: “(Okubo, 2010; Matthew Chojnacki et al., 2016; Fortezzo et al., 2016; L. A. Edgar & Skinner, 2016). “… should be “(Okubo, 2010; Chojnacki et al., 2016; Fortezzo et al., 2016; Edgar & Skinner, 2016). "
In some cases I have deleted the citation and re-added it into my Zotero citation manager. For example citation https://doi.org/10.1002/2017JE005460 still posts the authors first name.
Thanks for identifying the disambiguation issue. I can see the main reason is that common journals use first names (John R. Smith) while most common conference abstract systems in my science uses first initials ( J. R. Smith). I have fixed this in a few cases, but its time consuming.
You mentioned a merge function - how would that work with, e.g., 10 different unique AGU abstracts with J. Smith as a author, and 10 peer-review publications with John R. Smith.
Also, I found these issues occurred a lot less with the AGU style compared with the JGR - Planets style. I assume its ok to rely on just the AGU style.
If you have a duplicate or re-import (higher quality) metadata, merge rather than delete should be used to prevent orphaning citations in existing documents. That'd be a co-incidence. It's literally the same style (JGR - Planets is just a link to AGU style)
However, I am finding my database sometime reverts to the old naming. I update the ciations in my Zotero software, select the update buttion, then refreash the Word document citations. This fixes them temporarily, but the next day some citations revert back (e.g Lennard P. Davis). Is my local database being overwritten by the cloud version? How do I prevent this?
Lennard P. Davis (not L. P. Davis) in my database, but they are coming up with first name same and initial. Why won’t citation show up with just last name? “Davis et al.” not “Lennard P. Davis et al”. Thanks,
If that's the case, you're likely looking at entries disconnected from Zotero. The first thing I'd look at is the bibliography, see if that gives you any clues.
