MWE:

\documentclass[referee]{svjour3}

\usepackage[english]{babel}

\begin{document}
\cite{yang2008,yang2010}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,bibfile_test}
\end{document}

The cls file can be obtained from here.

bibfile_test file:

@article{yang2010,
  title={An analytical continuous-curvature path-smoothing algorithm},
  author={Yang, Kwangjin and Sukkarieh, Salah},

  volume={26},
  number={3},
  pages={561--568},
  year={2010},

Why do the authors disappear in the second case? How do I fix it (short of manually editing the bib file)?

  • The authors don't "disappear" -- their names are replaced by ---------. That's what the IEEEtran bibliography style is programmed to do with entries whose authors are repeated from the preceding entry. If you don't like this look, start looking for a different bibliography style. – Mico Feb 13 '18 at 15:26

They are just the same as in the previous entry in list. This is how IEEEtran style formats the references.
