Fixes for Journal of Egyptian Archaeology

[jfrmasters]

Thanks for earlier fix on page numbers. Other issues that I've since noticed...

First ref is like this: M. I. Smith, ‘A Tapestry in the tomb of Horus’, in Janice Kamrin, Miroslav Barta, Salima Ikram, Mark Lehner, Mohamed Megahed (ed.), Guardian of Ancient Egypt, II (Prague, 2020), 659–71, at 662.

But (1) the editors should have initials, not their full names And (2) Single editor is ed. but multiple should be eds without the '.'.

2nd is: Khaled, in Janice Kamrin, Miroslav Barta, Salima Ikram, Mark Lehner, Mohamed Megahed (ed.), Guardian of Ancient Egypt, 663.

But (3) subsequent authors/editors show surname only And (4) subsequent multiple authors/editors should list first only followed by 'et al.'

So I think latter should be:

Khaled, in Kamrin et al. (eds), Guardian of Ancient Egypt, 663.

Thanks for time spent on this.

Hi,

Since you were already digging into the guidelines, always easier to cite the specific parts you found, as it's easier for us to then just confirm those rather than search for them ourselves. ;)

1) chapter, editor names: Can't reproduce and renders correctly: I. Mares, ‘Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers?’, in P. A. Hall and D. Soskice (eds.), Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage (New York, 2001), 184–213, at 244–52.

2) editor labels, singular, plural: fixed to "ed." and "eds"

3) chapter subsequent author name: it already ONLY shows the surname: Mares, in Hall et al. (eds), Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage, 184–213.

4) chapter subsequent editors: editors set to 2/1

@jfrmasters The PR just got merged. Let us know if you had any more comments/amendments.

Thankyou for your swift action and apologies - I was entering the names incorrectly it appears. Having now finished all my refs, I think there are 3, possibly 4 more bugs viz:

• The first instance of multiple authors/editors should not be displayed as et al - only subsequent instances. I've been trying to understand the CSL. I have successfully tested this change:

  change to:

• For a Conference Paper, first shows the title twice e.g. Dee et al., ‘An absolute chronology for early Egypt using radiocarbon dating and Bayesian statistical modelling’, in ‘An absolute chronology for early Egypt using radiocarbon dating and Bayesian statistical modelling’, Proceedings of the Royal Society A (2013), 10, at 5. Subsequent is correct: Dee et al., in ‘An absolute chronology for early Egypt using radiocarbon dating and Bayesian statistical modelling’, Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 10, at 7.

• Guidelines for authored volume show that subsequent citations should show a shortened title. The rules is shown by example viz: 'Lucas, Jurisdiction, 112'. I added the field 'Short Title' to one of these in case that was what was needed but it still showed the original title.

• Thesis shows the title in first instance but in subsequent renditions it is missing completely. This is correct for 'Book Chapter' and Research Article in Journal. But for Thesis it seems likely to be wrong as the result is 'Surname, 33'. The guidelines do not specifically mention Thesis so I think the rules for "Authored volume" apply and a short title should be inserted?

many thanks

I have fixed 3 problems but the conference paper double title still exists. I have emailed you my updated file. Hope this helps.

@POBrien333 what’s the status of this?

[POBrien333]

I've just added one edit in a new PR, but I'm not willing to further work on this style due to the guidelines being a mess amongst other things. OP seems to know CSL well enough anyway.

Okay, closing for now. @jfrmasters please feel free to submit a new PR if additional changes are needed.
