The same surname, a and b do not appear in the text of the document in the same year

1.The same surname, a and b do not appear in the text of the document in the same year
2.Citations in the main text, duplicated documents from multiple sources
Examples:(H. Zhou et al., 2020; Q. Zhou et al., 2020, 2020)
  • Which citation style and does this happen in a new document?
  • Dear adamsmith, basically all styles, because there are more Chinese scholars with the same surname, there are many papers with the same surname in the same year, and they cannot appear like a, b, c. At present, I have modified the style myself to temporarily solve the problem. Is there any other official solution?
  • How citations are disambiguated is controlled by the citation style, so we would need to know a specific style you think isn’t doing this correctly.
  • I'm also not clear how citations are supposed to look. How should the above look? Zhou et al. 2020a, b, c? Something else?
