Problem with different authors, same “et al” with natbib












0















I have two papers to cite, same first author, same year, both long enough to give me an "et al" in the main text. And when I compile in Overleaf, I get complaints.



So, my .bib file has two records like this:



@article{KOV2018,
Author = {Alexei Karenin and Stepan Oblansky and Alexei Vronski},
Journal = {Econometrica},
Number = {1},
Pages = {1--25},
Title = {All happy families are alike},
Volume = {86},
Year = {2018}}

@article{KKV2018,
Author = {Alexei Karenin and Anna Karenina and Stepan Vronsky},
Journal = {Management Science},
Number = {1},
Pages = {1--200},
Title = {Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way},
Volume = {64},
Year = {2018}}


In my main.tex file in Overleaf, I write:



citep[For an alternative approach, see][.]{KKV2018, KOV2018}


When I compile, I get



Package natbib Warning: Multiple citation on p. 4: same authors and year without 
distinguishing extra letter, appears as question mark.


How do I fix?

  • It seems as though your bibliography style fails to disambiguate short citations properly. What style are you using? Would it be possible to show us a complete example document that reproduces the issue (an MWE tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864, tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4407/35864): It would contain a documentclass command, the relevant bits of the preamble and a short begin{document}...end{document} with enough dummy content to reproduce the problem with as little code as possible.
