Citation style modification: Global Change Biology

p.goglio
Dear All,
I downloaded the style for Global Change Biology and it does not disambiguate properly. Indeed it does the following disambiguation:
(Goglio, Mazzoncini et al 2012)
(Goglio, Bonari et al 2012)
Instead of:
(Goglio et al 2012a, 2012b)
thus I would ask if the code can be made available or either the change will be made, please.


Thank you a lot for the collaboration

    could you provide an example from a published article or the GCB style requirements that this is in fact the correct way to disambiguate articles with the same first author but different second authors?

    Here you can have another example:
    10.1111/j.1757-1707.2012.01187.x

    Mila` i Canals L, Bauer C, Depestele J et al. (2007a) Key elements in a framework for land use impact assessment within LCA. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 12, 5–15.

    I would like to ask if this aspect has been changed. If you will send me the CSL file, I could do the modification myself, than send it to you to be on line.
    I am looking forward to receiving a reply from you, thanks a lot for the collaboration.







    Kind regards
