Preserve “et al.” when parsing authors #230
Description
Hi! Thank you for this great tool 🙏
I’m parsing this reference:
Hassett L, et al. (2024). Effects of sport or physical recreation for adults with physical or intellectual disabilities: a systematic review with meta-analysis’. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 58(5), 269-277. 10.1136/bjsports-2023-107123
The output JSON is:
[
{
"author": [
{
"family": "Hassett",
"given": "L."
}
],
"title": "Effects of sport or physical recreation for adults with physical or intellectual disabilities: a systematic review with meta-analysis’",
"volume": "58",
"type": "article-journal",
"container-title": "British Journal of Sports Medicine",
"issue": "5",
"language": "en",
"issued": {
"date-parts": [
[
2024
]
]
},
"page": "269–277",
"DOI": "10.1136/bjsports-2023-107123"
}
]
But the reference contains "et al." after the first author.
I’d like to ask: Is there a way to make Anystyle detect and preserve the “et al.” part in the author list?

Hm, I think there's probably a bug when converting to the JSON output. In the internally, there should be an extra author
{ others: true }-- we'll have to debug why it does not end up in the JSON output.
