[OJS 3.1.2.0] Citation Style Language plugin error

[diegomejia07]

Hi,

Plugin Citation Style Language does not separate the given name with the initial of the family name, as you can see in the following image:

Hi @diegomejia07,

See e.g.: [OJS 3.1.0.1 ] Plugin Citation Style Language prints "How Cite" info without comma and space

(This is an old issue and already fixed in newer releases of OJS – I’d recommend upgrading.)

Hi @asmecher,

What happens is that at the moment we do not have any upgrade plan to a newer version of OJS. Would there be some way to solve it, without having to return the PHP version to 7.2.

Hi @diegomejia07,

You can try updating the citeproc-php library included in OJS to a newer version.

Hi @asmecher,

How could I do this?

Hi @diegomejia07,

The library is defined as a Composer dependency in lib/pkp/composer.json and you can update it using Composer. I’m afraid I can’t help you beyond that – the “right” way to fix this is definitely to upgrade OJS and we haven’t tested OJS 3.1.2-x against newer versions of citeproc-php.
