Author Lists in Footnotes

This category contains the options for how to list the authors if the referenced work has multiple authors.

The upper part of the dialog box specifies punctuation / words between the authors, while the bottom two indicate if and if so, how to shorten the list.

The various options are:

Author Separators Enter punctuation between authors, but option to add an extra punctuation before the last author in the list. The two rows allow two types of punctuation depending on the number of authors.
Remember to insert desired spaces even though they are not easily seen in this dialog box
Abbreviated AuthorList

 

Here you specify whether all authors should be included in the citation, or if not, how many should be included, how to indicate that the list is shortened and whether this text should be italicized
Abbreviated Author List – Short Form Same options as above, but these are used if one has chosen to use a special short form for repeated citations in footnotes. (This option is set in Templates for Footnotes.)
For Subsequent Works by the Same Author The options specify the formatting for subsequent references by the same author. You can choose to display the reference as the others are displayed, remove the author field from the reference or replace the author field with text or characters you enter yourself in the dialog box.
