I would like to use biblatex
and the publist
style to present a list of publications that omits my own name. But when I do so, I get two styles (see comma before et al.) depending on whether my name appeared first in the author list or not.
For example:
Questions:
- Should there be a comma before et al. in this case? (I think probably not.)
- Why is there a difference? Is this a bug?
- How do I remove the inconsistency? I would prefer no comma (unless there is good evidence for the other case).
MWE:
\documentclass[]{article}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@inproceedings{paperA,
booktitle = {Proceedings},
year = {2014},
author = {First, Author and Second, Author and Third, Author and Fourth, Author and Fifth, Author},
title = {AAA Title of Paper},
}
@inproceedings{paperB,
booktitle = {Proceedings},
year = {2013},
author = {Second, Author and First, Author and Third, Author and Fourth, Author and Fifth, Author},
title = {BBB Title of Paper},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[backend=biber,defernumbers=true,sorting=nyt,bibstyle=publist]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname}
\omitname{First} % Omit author with last name "First"
\begin{document}
\null\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[heading=none]
