Strange Citation Formatting

Taman · Post by **Taman** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:49 am

Hello,

I have a citation entered as:

LÃ¸wendahl et al., 2001, #402;Aharoni, 1993, #47089

But when it's formatted it seems to lose the second reference, only including the date as if the authors were the same, but they're not!

(LÃ¸wendahl et al., 2001; 1993)

Could anyone help?

Thanks, Taman

Hm, I didn't receive them. If the zipped file is very large, it may have bounced. If it's not (10 MB or less), please send them again (zipped) to support@sonnysoftware.com.

OK, I have the files now, thanks.

The problem is that you are using a custom citation format. Aharoni is the editor of an edited book, and in the custom citation format you specify

a, d

(Author, Date) for edited book.

The custom citation for an edited book should be

e, d

(Editor, Date)

You can refer to our APA Citations format for an example.
