How to write properly multiple authors in bibtex file?

Question

I use Jabref to store all articles i need and bibtex4word add-on (in MS Word) to maintain the reference list. So, i would like to know hot to fill properly the "author" field in Jabref with multiple authors to appear them correct in the reference list.

For example, i've got the article with several authors: E. Orti, J.L. Bredas, C. Clarisse

And i would like them to appear in this manner. But instead i get this: C. C. E. Orti, J. L. Bredas

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The appropriate separator for authors is "and". Comma is used to distinguish first and last name:

author = Orti, E. and Bredas, J.L. and Clarisse, C.
