how to reference multiple articles in one citation

gabriela.capeluto · July 19, 2023

Hi! I would like to add multiple articles to one citation. For example,

instead of

[1] X et al "title1"
[2] Y et al "Title 2"

I want it to look like

[1] X et al "title1"; Y et al "Title 2"

Thank you!

You can just add multiple items to the citation dialog, either initially or later by customizing the citation (see "Citations with Multiple Cited Items").

But this also depends on the citation style. Multiple citations under one number don't exist in numeric styles

Thanks!, I think that would make the text look like

text in manuscript [1,2]

references
[1] X et al "title1"
[2] Y et al "Title 2"

And I want:

text in manuscript [1]

references
[1] X et al "title1"; et al "Title 2"

Right. What's a journal/publication that publishes this way for an example?

Some articles that are written as reviews, and we are writing a review now, That's why we need to group some references

A specific example would really help. The above is too abstract/ambiguous to be clear.
This is either not possible or might be possible with a note style, but I can't tell from what you've written so far.

I think he needs a compound citation format, which is not supported by csl.

eg. https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/primer.html#numeric-compound-styles

sorry I never got the messages in my email
Yes I needed the compound bibliography as NorthWord said....I changed the way of citing the papers. Thanks a lot anyways!
