    This is because of the bibliography style you are using. This style says that if there are two references by the same author, only the first should have the name, the others are replaced by a dash. Usually it is possible to workaround this, but it's impossible to say with further information. Please post a minimal working example with bibliography (MWEB) so that we can get rid of that dash for you. – Phelype Oleinik May 13 '18 at 18:46

    The symbol is not a hyphen, it's a "3-emdash" symbol. As Phelype has pointed out in an earlier comment, its appearance is a feature of the bibliography style that's you selected. – Mico May 13 '18 at 19:09

    Aside: Rather than be bothered by the 3-emdash symbol, I'd be horrified by the lower-casing of the names einstein, yang, and mills. Please, please write the field as author = {On the integrability of the {Einstein}-{Yang}-{Mills} equations},; this will prevent BibTeX from applying sentence style (which induces lowercasing) to the three names in question. – Mico May 13 '18 at 19:13
  • Thank you guys I edited my question I hope that's the correct way to provide the MWE. (a complete noob here). – Neek May 13 '18 at 20:39

  • Thank you @samcarter I was able to find the solution there and – Neek May 13 '18 at 21:01
  • @Mico for you time and suggestions. – Neek May 13 '18 at 21:01
  • @samcarter Should I delete this if it's duplicate of another post? – Neek May 13 '18 at 21:09
  • @Neek Please do not delete. Duplicates are a good thing, they increase the searchability for a given problem. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz May 13 '18 at 22:22
