I am trying to figure out if there is a way to conform to the journal style that I need, which wants citations in "Name (date)" format, but wants multiple articles by the same author to be cited as "Name (date1, date2, date3)" etc. For example:

"Smith (1995, 2001a, 2001b)".

I know I can fake this if I move to citing references by date only (using %) and manually enter the author in the document, but the rest of my documents are not date-only in this way, and I'd be happy if the program could do the work for me.

Thanks.

Hi,

The way you describe is that way to do it (so it does take a bit of manual intervention):

...Smith {%citation 1; %citation 2; %citation3}

Thanks for the reply. It would be nice to be able to automate this, as you can in Endnote. From the Endnote 8 manual (and in many ways I *am* happy to put Endnote behind me):

"Consecutive Citations by the Same Author
If a multiple citation includes works by the same author, some
styles request that you not repeat the author name. Check the
setting to “omit repeated authorsâ€

Sure. I'll add it to the list of requested features (no promises, though).
