This depends on the bibliography style you use. Also the appearance of the edition depends on the bibliography style. Different or multiple publishers are a problem that most styles cannot cope with directly. You may want to have a look at the biblatex package which is very customisable. > Second, minor question: In Required Fields, Publisher, I have entered > the city and publisher, such as "New York: Harper & Row". Is putting > in the city here correct? Probably so, but just wanted to be sure. No, the publisher is just 'Harper & Row'. The city has to be put in 'address'. Regards, Dominik.- |
