JSS template prints all the author names in the inline citation when first used

[huizezhang-sherry]

Here is a minimal reproducible example.

For the first time the package tidyverse is referenced, all the authors are printed rather than using the first surname et al style. This becomes not an issue after the first reference.

This behavior also persists for other multi-author references.

Maybe a bug here?

I don't think this is a bug, but is expected behaviour. You can turn this off by supplying an document class argument like so in your YAML header classoption: shortnames, which is the equivalent of specifying \documentclass[article,shortnames]{jss} in LaTeX, which is explained in more detail on pp. 8-9 of the official JSS style guide, more info here: https://www.jstatsoft.org/style.

So if you add that line to the default YAML header for the document, you get:

---
documentclass: jss
classoption: shortnames
author:
  - name: FirstName LastName
    orcid: 0000-0000-0000-0000
    affiliation: University/Company
    # use this syntax to add text on several lines
    address: |
      | First line
      | Second line
    email: \email{name@company.com}
    url: http://rstudio.com
  - name: Second Author
    orcid: 0000-0000-0000-0000
    affiliation: 'Affiliation \AND'
    # To add another line, use \AND at the end of the previous one as above
  - name: Third Author
    orcid: 0000-0000-0000-0000
    address: |
      | Department of Statistics and Mathematics,
      | Faculty of Biosciences,
      | Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
    affiliation: |
      | Universitat Autònoma 
      | de Barcelona
    # use a different affiliation in adress field (differently formated here)
    affiliation2: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
title:
  formatted: "A Capitalized Title: Something about a Package \\pkg{foo}"
  # If you use tex in the formatted title, also supply version without
  plain:     "A Capitalized Title: Something about a Package foo"
  # For running headers, if needed
  short:     "\\pkg{foo}: A Capitalized Title"
abstract: >
  The abstract of the article.
keywords:
  # at least one keyword must be supplied
  formatted: [keywords, not capitalized, "\\proglang{Java}"]
  plain:     [keywords, not capitalized, Java]
preamble: >
  \usepackage{amsmath}
output: rticles::jss_article
