For citation CDR663680, The author names are not displayed in the formatted reference section of the QC report and also in the references section of childhood ALL summary - CDR0000062923. (Sharon reported this problem in the ALL summary.)

I re-imported and tested this citation on Franck and the author names will not display if the first author (Stanulla Martin) remains in the first position exactly as it was imported. When he is removed from the list of authors completely or inserted in any other position, except the first position, then the authors will display. It is possible that the problem has to do with the characters 'null' in his first name because when that is deleted or changed in some other way to not read 'null', he is displayed even if he is in the first position.

Did you modify the citation to suppress the problem? If so, is there a way to reproduce the problem so that I could investigate?

Yes. I have reverted back to the earlier version. You shoud be able to reproduce the problem.

You are absolutely correct. That's the problem. It looks like there is a bug in the citation formatting filter.
I'll let you know when it's fixed.

I didn't understand what the filter was doing and thought I must have made a mistake when I created the filter. Now that I'm running the diff report, however, I was trying to suppress the display of the author name for publication CDR60739. Here, the FirstName has been specified as 'null'.

Could you please have a look if this citation record is correct and how it should be displayed so that I can adjust the citation formatter accordingly?

I think Bugzilla just failed to send an email. Testing email again.

William, please see my last comment in Bugzilla.

The following filter has been updated and copied to FRANCK:
CDR0000258630.xml - R9471 : Module: Citation Formatting

This is ready for review.

I already ran a diff report on the licensee output for summaries on FRANCK and the only difference identified was for the citation CDR60739 as specified in comment #4.

Verified on Franck. Please promote to Bach (and Mahler ?).
