Hi,

I encountered a small problem with the Output Style for Global Change Biology.

On the journal´s website it says that the “&” should be used for in text citation between two authors. However, my RM 12 does not do that, instead it puts “and” between the authors.

Also, in the bibliography I cannot get rid of the field Ref.Type when the refernce is a doctoral thesis.

Does anybody know how to change these things?

I am greatful for any help since time is running short for the deadline.

Thanks a lot in advance,

kind regards,

Lisa&nbsp;

You need to fix these things in the Output Style.&nbsp; Go to the Tools menu, select Bibliography, then Open Output Style.

Select the Global Change Biology and click Open

Select the Bibliography tab.

For each style that has an \*, simply remove the line with [01]\<Ref Type\>&nbsp; and any other lines or fields you do not need.

Then double click on the \<[04 Authors]\> field and&nbsp; choose the Separators Tab.&nbsp; Use the ‘&’ instead of ‘and’

Save the Output Style&nbsp;

Thank you very much, the “and”-problem is solved!

However, I did not get rid of the Reference Typ which only appears when the reference is a&nbsp; doctoral thesis.&nbsp; The GCB style does not show the [01]\<Ref Type\> so I cannot delete it. Do you have any other idea how I could solve this?

Thanks a lot,

kind regards,
