Upgrade StorageSame citation, different styles
Hi All
I've had a quick look through the forum but couldn't see any problem like the one I have.
Basically it comes down to citation style. If I insert references into my document (set up as open office with Chicago Manual of Sytle) I can get different citation patterns although the zotero entries look the same.
An example:
However, using a global transcriptome approach we previously found no evidence for increased UPP gene expression in weight-losing UGI cancer patients (Stephens et al. 2010). Levels of skeletal muscle calpain, atrogin-1 and MuRF1 mRNA remained unchanged in the skeletal muscle of gastric cancer patients but levels of calpain activity were elevated even in the absence of weight loss (Ira J Smith et al. 2011).
Here the 'Stephens' entry is the style I want. The 'Smith' entry includes the 'Ira J'. These two entries look the same in Zotero i.e. in the main Zotero pane both have the Surname and First name / initial in separate boxes in the Author section.
Could someone enlighten me as to how to obtain consistency in formatting? I have been editing by hand but that gets tiresome.
I'm using Zotero 2.18, OOo 3.2.0 with Ubuntu 10.04.
Many thanks

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You can try re-installing the Chicago style to get the most recent version with improved disambiguation, but the general issue is likely to remain the same.
Will have a look over the links you posted.
