coll.cite: Constructs a final citation of collector names.
Description
Uses two of the BRAHMS fields (collector, addcoll).
Expects names in both fields to conform to the pattern:
"Lastname, A" where A are the list of initials without
dots; if no comma present the function assummes all words
to be part of the lastname like in: van de Bergh.Usage
coll.cite(collector, addcoll = "",
initials = c("none", "before"), dots = TRUE)Arguments
addcoll
a name or list of names; may be empty
initials
use 'none' or 'before' to indicate if
initials should be used for the citation
dots
boolean; should dots be used to separate the
initials?
Details
The 'collector' field must have only one name; the
'addcoll' field may have several names separated by ; or
it may be empty. Like in the case of 'collector' a
missing comma indicates that all words till the next ;
are part of the last name. Two collector names will be separated by '&'; more than
two names will result in a citation with just the
(principal) collectors name followed by 'et al.'.
