Problem with different authors, same “et al” with natbib
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 adocumentclass
command, the relevant bits of the preamble and a shortbegin{document}...end{document}
with enough dummy content to reproduce the problem with as little code as possible.
