Endnote download - Author information incorrect

ikehoe · June 1, 2021, 11:25pm

Hello,

Application Version - e.g., OJS 3.1.2.1

We have setup the Citation plugin. And i just tried exporting to my Endnote and noticed the author information is reversed. First name is showing as last name. How do we correct this?

The author name should be Odasso, L. instead.

Hi @ikehoe

The format for Endnote is the same for Zotero, RIS format. Could you please test the file importing to Zotero?
I can see from the Github repo that the file generator is correct, maybe Endnote requires another field for RIS files:

Thanks for your response Israel. I tried the Zotero export and here’s what i’m getting:

sotero

I’m getting the first name last name sequence. Also tried going to another platform and downloaded a zotero citation and i got a last name first name sequence.

Hi @ikehoe

Have you tested other journals to double-check whether it is an isolated case?
