I could not get Paperpile to format citations where there is only an editor, no author, with my own CSL , so I checked with the standard APA 6th edition CSL and the problem remains.
- Book, no authors, one editor.
- Editor’s name in field as Surname, Firstname.
- Citation style: American Psychological Association, 6th edition.
If I use the quick ‘Cite’ button in Paperpile, this is copied to the clipboard in the following format, as expected:
- Insoll, T. (Ed.). (2007). The archaeology of identities : a reader. London: Routledge.
When I am creating a document in Google Docs and use CTRL-ALT-P to insert this item as an inline citation it gives:
- (Insoll 2007)
But when I use ‘Format citations’ in the Paperpile menu this is changed to:
- (Timothy Insoll, 2007)
and the reference is formatted as:
- Timothy Insoll. (2007). The archaeology of identities : a reader. London: Routledge.
When they should be:
- (Insoll, 2007)
- Insoll, T. (Ed.). (2007). The archaeology of identities : a reader. London: Routledge.
Let me know if you need any more information needed.
