Same author multiple works

Gene-Morales
Dear Colleagues,
I have saved many different works with the same first author. I am writing his name exactly the same in all the Zotero Items of each paper. However, when adding a citation in a Word document the full name appears with the surname as if they were different authors. Does anybody know what should I do for the program to recognise the author as the same?
Thank you in advance for your time!

    Does this happen in a new document, too?
    Could you pust a section of the bibliography with those items here?
  • Gene-Morales
    Yes it is still happening in new documents. It seems that the app understands they are different persons. Did you mean posting this?

    Thank you!

    And what style are you using?
  • adamsmith
    Also, are these all works with Useche as first author or are there others?
  • Gene-Morales
    It's APA style. And yes, they are all with Useche as the first author.

    In the references I attached they seem to be the same author (as it can be seen in all the lited references in which appears "Useche, Sergio Alejandro"), and therefore, in the text citations should only appear the surname (Useche). However in the text citations appears Useche Sergio Alejandro et al..
  • bwiernik
    Can you post your document (eg, the new one with just the references) somewhere publicly accessible and link here?
  • adamsmith
    It's actually "Useche, Sergio Alejandro", though? Then you just have it input incorrectly in Zotero, likely as a single-field author rather than firstname and lastname in separate fields.

    APA disambiguation would do S. A. Useche or Sergio Alejandro Useche, never "Useche, Sergio Alejandro"
