How to cite co-authors for one article/book

EndNote EndNote How To

Hi there,

I am trying to fix this problem the whole evening but it seems not to work. I am using Harvard style and need to cite

(Clarke & Newman, 1997) but all I got for the citation is:

(Clarke, 1997)

After I edit Output style, it appears like:

(Clarke&, 1997)

or

(Clarke&SecondaryClarke, 1997)

Btw, it appear as expected in the reference list as Clarke, J.,& Newman, J., (1997) bla bla

Is there anyone encounters this problem? please help!

Thanks a lot

 You want to make sure your style citation author settings are as in the attached image.  Make sure there is a space before and after the & in both places.  And make sure the number 3 is in both places.  That way two authors will be listed, but 3 or more will end up as 1st author et al., which I htink is what you want.

Leanne,

I tried that already and also re-set up as your instruction but it didnt work. It just presented the 1st author and the year (Clarke, 1997).

Thanks a lot, anw

wow I did it. its working as i want now. The problem is not in the Author lists, but how i typed author’s names in the reference field.

I shouldnt type the authors’ names in one line, they should be seperated by [enter] and also the ‘secondary author’ needs to be added in the citation templates

Hope this may help someone else.

Cheers,

ellie

Please attach the style file you are using and we can look at it. 

I assume your authors are listed one per line separated by carriage returns in  the record?

There is no need for the secondary author in the templates.  The secondary author would be, for example, the editors in a book chapter.  They are not the “second” author in the list.
