Initialen der Vornamen


Explanation:
Ich bin mir zwar nicht ganz sicher, aber im Englischen (besonders US) werden die Initialen der Vornamen oft ohne Punkt hintereinander gesetzt. Dafür spricht auch die analoge Nennung der Herausgeber des zitierten Werks: "Zaret BL, Beller GA".

Nach deutschen Zitierkonventionen müsste dort m.E. stehen:
Watson, D.D., und Glover, D.K., ...
