You'd have to say a bit more what you're after -- do you have the same a,b issue as in the thread you originally posted to (if so, with what citaiton style) or something else?

Yes, I have the same a b problem for different publications with same author and year... but do not understand where to try suggested above solutions.

See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation and let us know if you still have questions.

(the answer very likely doesn't involve modifying citation styles, though, which is why this was moved to a new thread)
