I am writing to you because I am helping JPR update your .bst file to make it conform to the latest format standards. I am opening an issue that I cannot resolve and I want your input. \r\nThe issue is that I cannot figure out a way to separate the first and second authors in the bibliography using a semi-colon (;) while using commas (,) for the rest. \r\n\r\nThis is the format that I am looking to create:\r\nGleditsch, Nils Petter; Peter Wallensteen, Mikael Eriksson, Margareta Sollenberg & Håvard Strand\r\n(2002) Armed conflict 1946–2001: A new dataset.

I remember asking the folks at tex.stackexchange about this issue last year, but got no response. If I try asking it again, I might get an answer this time around. Those guys know TeX markup much better than I do.\r\n\r\nI can try to look into it again, but, between finals and me leaving the country for all of May, I'll probably just end up asking the people at tex.stackexchange.\r\n\r\nI do thank you for bringing this up and the work that JPR is doing to provide this resource to TeX users that submit their manuscripts to their journal.\r\n\r\nBest regards,\r\n\r\nSteve"}}
