Hi everybody!
I have a little problem with the way my references are indicated in my document. I am using an achemso style for the bibliography. When I open achemso.bst I see that normally when the number of authors exceeds 2, the following should be replaced by "et al."
Unfortunately, when I perform the compilation, the last authors are replaced by "e.a." instead of "et al." What's the problem?
Does anyone have an idea about that?
Thanks by advance for your answers and as the Stereophonics would say, have a nice day!

I do not see this behavior. It appears to me that

Code: Select all

numnames #15 >

in the format.names function cause more than 15 names to be replaced by bbl.etal (which is "et~al.").

Are you using achemso.bst v2.1, by Joseph Wright (2007/02/15) (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... b/achemso/)?
