Formating editor names in InCollection citations #14

Closed finlay closed 6 years ago

finlay commented 10 years ago

I have run into an issue with trying to implement a citation style that generates citations that match the style shown in the report that I was given.

There are two citations in the report which are as follows:

Baird, R.W. (2009). False killer whale Pseudorca crassidens. In, W. F. Perrin and B. G. Würsig and J. G. M. Thewissen (Ed.), Encyclopedia of marine mammals, pp. 405–406. Academic Press, United States.

Brownell, R.L.; Cipriano, F. (1999). Dusky dolphin, Lagenorhynchus obscurus (Gray, 1828). In, Ridgway, S.H.; Harrison, S.R. (Eds.), Handbook of marine mammals: the second book of dolphins

Note how the formatting of editor names is different in the two citations. In the first it is , while in the second it is <lastname, initials>.

However, despite the different formatting of the editor names, both of these citations are of the same kind. They are both of type incollection, and both seem to be part of a book of some variety. In terms of the bibtex entries I cannot see anything that should distinguish them.

@InCollection{      baird_falsekiller_2009,
  title        = "False killer whale \emph{Pseudorca crassidens}",
  booktitle    = "Encyclopedia of marine mammals",
  publisher    = "Academic Press, United States",
  author    = "R. W. Baird",
  editor    = "{W. F. Perrin and B. G. W{\"u}rsig and J. G. M. Thewissen}",
  year        = "2009",
  pages        = "405--406"
}

@InCollection{      brownell_dusky_1999,
  title        = "{Dusky dolphin, \emph{Lagenorhynchus obscurus} (Gray,
          1828)}",
  booktitle    = "Handbook of marine mammals: the second book of dolphins
          and the porpoises",
  publisher    = "{Academic Press, San Diego}",
  author    = "R. L. Brownell and F. Cipriano",
  editor    = "S. H. Ridgway and S. R. Harrison",
  pages        = "85--104",
  year        = "1999"
}

Solving this inconsistency, I suggest the following for the editors' names, with other changes to the punctuation and order of information in the citation of book chapters (i.e., page numbers specified at the end):

Baird, R.W. (2009). False killer whale Pseudorca crassidens. In: Perrin, W. F., Würsig B. G., Thewissen, J. G. M. (Ed.). Encyclopedia of marine mammals, Academic Press, United States, pp. 405–406.

I have changed to formatting of editor names and the In, to In:.
