- I'm using version 2.5 (April 1992) of theapa.sty and .bst, and I
- have found the following problem. I have two bibliography entries:
- McCloskey, Aliminosa and Sokol (1991) and
- McCloskey, Harley, and Sokol (1991)
-
- theapa adds "a" and "b" to the year, which is understandable if you say
- "McCloskey et al (1991a)" to refer to the first (but I don't use the
- shorter version), but looks wrong in the bibliography:
- McCloskey, Aliminosa and Sokol (1991a) ...
- McCloskey, Harley, and Sokol (1991b) ...
-
- I'm not sure what to do about this. One possibility is to engineer it so
- that you cannot have a short \cite version in this case (but I haven't
- worked out how to code that).
-
- ------------
- Also, I'll repeat a previous request for help
-
- Does anybody have even a VAGUE idea about how to do this...?
- Make theapa recognize that different authors with the same last name need
- to have their initials as part of the citation. E.g., two papers, one
- by J.R. Anderson (1991) and one by D. Z. Anderson (1991) should appear with
- their initials when you use \cite and NOT as Anderson (1991a) and Anderson
- (1991b), which is what happens at the moment. (I know I can do this by
- editing the .bbl file, but I'd like bibtex to do it for me).

- Thanks
