I obtain this mess: Boker, S. et al., Neale, M. et al., Maes, H., et al., Wilde, M., et al., Spiegel, M., et al., Brick, T., et al., . . . Et al., et al., et al., Bates, T., et al. (2011). OpenMx: An open source extended structural equation modeling framework. Psychometrika, 76 (2), 306–317. (Cit. on p. 17).
I thought maybe I had a bad mix of versions. I tried "tlmgr update --all". I have biblatex 2.8 installed and I just installed biber 1.8 from http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/. I still get too many "et al."
Suggestions?
and others
. What happens if you get rid of theand others
or provide the full list of authors?biblatex-apa
: it does seem to do some weird things with the name list. One might add that getting rid of theand others
string fixes the weird "et al"s appearing everywhere.
