Full write-up here: Should initialize-with-hyphen be set to "false" for American Medical Association? · Issue #5675 · citation-style-language/styles · GitHub
Background
I recently learned that one should omit the hyphen from first-name initials when using the American Medical Association style.
However, I noticed that the default output of AMA retains the hyphen:
(Example taken from Zotero using the AMA 11 csl file.)
Both the 10th and 11th versions of AMA exhibit this behavior.
Question
Should initialize-with-hyphen
be added, set to “false,” in order to meet AMA’s stipulation that the hyphen be omitted? Adding this setting appears to do the trick.
