[bksvol-discuss] Et Al. not being an author

I think something somehow should be done to make people understand that, 
although it might look correct, and in most cases, it is, putting a comma 
between the author and something like et al is going to make the system think 
that's actually an author. I've seen stuff like this all the time and wonder 
how many invalid authors are actually on the system because of this. Take care.

  HI list:

  I have taken the liberty of posting here titles that have been recently 
returned to step 1. This is only a few as I did not go through the entire list. 
Many of these need copyright holder verification, incomplete titles or missing 
authors. Et al. is not an author.  
  Happy validating. *smile*
  And as always if there are questions don't hesitate to ask on the list.
