Dear All,
experimenting with the 'basic' citation backend I noticed that the
default author-year citation style (and its derived variants, like
text and year) does not perform citation disambiguation for items that
have the same author and year. E.g. the Org document
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+cite_export: basic author-year author-year
First: [cite:@disamb1examp]
Second: [cite:@disamb2examp]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
is exported as
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
First: (Doe, John, 1973)
Second: (Doe, John, 1973)
Doe, John (1973). /Minor Work/, Journal of Philosophy.
Doe, John (1973). /Magnum Opus/, Journal of Philosophy.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which makes it impossible to identify the cited item. Perhaps the most
widespread solution to this problem is to add so called year-suffixes
to the year to disambiguate:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
First: (Doe, John, 1973a)
Second: (Doe, John, 1973b)
Doe, John (1973a). /Minor Work/, Journal of Philosophy.
Doe, John (1973b). /Magnum Opus/, Journal of Philosophy.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I think some kind of disambiguation strategy should be implemented for
the basic citation backend to be really usable with the author-year
style. WDYT?
best regards,
András
