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

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.
