Fix to Ent Soc of America citation

ecp52

Hi Zotero,
Not sure where to post this
I am composing a manuscript for Entomological Society of America and found that the Zotero citation style did not disambiguate citations in the way that the journal requests.
Note-- this is also the style needed for "Environmental Entomology".
Previously the "disambiguate-add-name" argument was "true"
I modified the code for disambiguation like this:
<citation et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" collapse="year">

thanks -- where is that info from? In other words, how do you know those journals don't want names added for disambiguation? Editor, published articles?

Wow, the real adamsmith replying to my post!
I am following instructions on the journal website:
http://entsoc.org/pubs/publish/style/#In-text_Citation
"Multiple Publications by Same Author(s)
(Smith et al. 1995a, 1995b, 1997; Jones 1996)Multiple Publications by Same Author(s)
(Smith et al. 1995a, 1995b, 1997; Jones 1996)"
Thanks for your patience!

by itself that doesn't tell us much, though, right? If disambiguation kicks in, the publications aren't actually be the same authors but by a (slightly) different group.

Thanks, adamsmith.
That's a good point. My advisor interpreted that as meaning a's and b's rather than disambiguation by adding a second name, so at least in our lab I think we have to go with that:_)

it's probably more likely they want a, b, but hard to say (both options exist for styles). If you come across an example in a published article, that'd help.
