Missing a, b, c in bibliography for style Acta Universitatis agriculturae Sueciae

malpers1

If author and publication year are the same, there should be an a, b,c etc added after year in the bibliography but there are none now. Can you please help adding that?

Style: Acta Universitatis agriculturae Sueciae

Kind regards

This works as expected for me:

Check if the authors are EXACTLY the same. :)

It doen't work for web page:

(Webbsida Efternamn författare n.d.a, n.d.b)
Webbsida Efternamn författare, F. Websida titel. Titel på webbsite. [websidetyp]. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/332591 [2019-04-12]

Ah, I realise now that when there is no date (n.d.) is not included in the bibliography. That could be the problem!

Hi,

There was indeed an error for webpage.
The date for webpages didn't have the conditional built in.
Can you test this?

Yes it works fine, both date and a,b,c show up in the bibliography! Thank you so much!

I saw something in the the text reference: when n.d. is applied the n.d.a and n.d.b are separated by a comma (,) and not a semicolon (;). In this style it should be separated by semicolon.

damnation

Can you provide a full example in the style current vs wanted? I'm not sure I fully understand.

malpers1

The style is based on https://www.slu.se/en/subweb/library/write-and-cite/writing-references/in-text-citations-using-the-harvard-system/ and when citing multiple sources the in-text-citation should look like this with the different sources separated by a semicolon:

(Andersson 2014; Svensson 2016).

But in the example I gave you above the citation generated for web pages with the same author and no date it looks like this, the different sources are separated by a comma instead of a semicolon:

(Webbsida Efternamn författare n.d.a, n.d.b).

If I instead of no date insert a year it looks like this (and it is correct):

(Webbsida Efternamn författare 2010a; b)

damnation

ok. I understand. Where do you see that lined out in the guidelines though?

malpers1

Do you mean where it is stated on the web what the style should look like?

It is stated on https://www.slu.se/en/subweb/library/write-and-cite/writing-references/in-text-citations-using-the-harvard-system/ under heading
"Citing multiple sources supporting the same idea".

The bibligraphy is on https://www.slu.se/en/subweb/library/write-and-cite/writing-references/reference-list-using-harvard/

The part you cite lays out how the citations in one cite bubble should be separated. That's implemented in the style and handled by the delimiter set on "layout" under "citation".
The sorting of disambiguated citations is not at all layed out in these guidelines. It's handled by the "sort-separator" set on citation.
Based on my experience with these styles I wouldn't change this.

malpers1

Ok, that sounds good, there is no need to change it.
Will you publish the updated csl?

Thank you very much for your help and explanation.

Malin

The style update is now live. You can update your style.
