Avoid repetition of author's name in multiple references

remedios43

Hi,

Is it possible to avoid repeating the name of the same author in multiple references. For instance, how do I go from (Van Dijk 1997; Van Dijk 1998; Van Dijk 2002; Van Dijk 2006) to (Van Dijk 1997, 1998, 2002, 2006)?
Thanks a million in advance for your help!

In the Add/Edit Citation window, check "Suppress Author" and see if that does what you want.

This depends on the style - APA for example does this, as do most other author-date styles.
The relevant line in the .csl style file is:
<option name="collapse" value="year"/>
