change first letter to full name reference
Hi i am experiencing a problem with zotero. I use vancouver style and when i cite a reference, the names of the authors show only as first letters eg. S A, J T instead of Smith A, Jones T etc. I try different styles but it won't change. Could you please help me?
If yes, you might have somehow an item in your document that might not be in your database anymore.
What I'd do is to export all times with messed up authors to CSV, then open the CSV file in Excel, find the DOI column and copy it, paste it in the Add by identifier window ("magic wand") in Zotero.
You'll then find the new and original items in the "Duplicate Items" collection in Zotero. Merge them, making sure to always select the newly imported item with correct authors as the default when merging.
