[Style Correction Request]: Australian Mammalogy

pseudophryne

Hi,

Just a minor correction required:

If there are 2x citations with more than two authors (same first author) from the same year the current style gives:

For example:
--------------------------------------------
In text:
(Southgate, Paltridge, Masters and Ostendorf 2007)
(Southgate, Paltridge, Masters and Carthew 2007)

Reference list:
Southgate, R., Paltridge, R., Masters, P., and Carthew, S. (2007). Bilby distribution and fire: a test of alternative models of habitat suitability in the Tanami Desert, Australia. Ecography 30, 759–776. doi:10.1111/j.2007.0906-7590.04956.x
Southgate, R., Paltridge, R., Masters, P., and Ostendorf, B. (2007). Modelling introduced predator and herbivore distribution in the Tanami Desert, Australia. Journal of Arid Environments 68, 438–464. doi:10.1016/j.jaridenv.2006.06.006
--------------------------------------------

BUT it should be:

--------------------------------------------
In text:
(Southgate et al. 2007a)
(Southgate et al. 2007b)

Reference list:
Southgate, R., Paltridge, R., Masters, P., and Carthew, S. (2007a). Bilby distribution and fire: a test of alternative models of habitat suitability in the Tanami Desert, Australia. Ecography 30, 759–776. doi:10.1111/j.2007.0906-7590.04956.x
Southgate, R., Paltridge, R., Masters, P., and Ostendorf, B. (2007b). Modelling introduced predator and herbivore distribution in the Tanami Desert, Australia. Journal of Arid Environments 68, 438–464. doi:10.1016/j.jaridenv.2006.06.006

Please note: the "a" and "b" should be in italics.
--------------------------------------------

Any chance of getting this updated greatly appreciated...

Regards,
Martin.

what is this based on? Do you have an example from a published article or explicit instructions from the editors for exactly this case (i.e. same first author, different 2nd etc. authors)?

Example of a published article (has the same two refs in it):

Note sure if I can attach a PDF here?

Otherwise here is the link - I think it shows just the references but not the text of the article.

http://www.publish.csiro.au/AM/AM16009

If you need the text let me know..

If you look up the two examples above in the reference list in the link it has them there..

This style is currently a dependent style on emu-austral-ornithology.csl which in turn has become a Taylor&Francis journal in 2016 since.

1. Make australian-mammology.csl independent based on emu-austral-ornithology.csl with disambiguate-add-year error fix
see: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/2482
2. Check emu-austral-ornithology.csl to get it taken into the Taylor&Francis automated styles

@pseudophryne thanks, that's helpful -- discussion below is technical&not for you

I'd change this in the parent style -- few style guides are that precise and if one journal disambiguates this way, so will others (the fix is to remove the disambiguate-add-names attribute)

We'd only be able to do 2. if T&F includes it in their data (and gives us said data).

thanks @adamsmith
That's been closed and PRed: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/2483

edit: the pull request has gone through and you can use the new style now, @pseudophryne
