I am having an issue where some items (2 of 51 references) in my bibliography have the author names missing, and they are replaced by a blank. Here is an example. The entries for the above items in my .bib file are as follows:

@article{Evrard2017,
author = {Evrard, Fabien and Denner, Fabian and van Wachem, Berend},
doi = {10.1016/j.jcp.2017.09.034},
file = {:home/niran90/Documents/Mendeley//Evrard, Denner, van Wachem - 2017 - Estimation of curvature from volume fractions using parabolic reconstruction on two-dimensional unst.pdf:pdf},
issn = {10902716},
journal = {Journal of Computational Physics},
keywords = {Curvature,Height-function,Unstructured mesh,Volume fraction,Volume-of-fluid},
pages = {271--294},
publisher = {Elsevier Inc.},
title = {{Estimation of curvature from volume fractions using parabolic reconstruction on two-dimensional unstructured meshes}},
url = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2017.09.034},
volume = {351},
year = {2017}
}

@article{Evrard2020, author = {Evrard, Fabien and Denner, Fabian and van Wachem, Berend}, doi = {10.1016/j.jcpx.2020.100060}, file = {:home/niran90/Documents/Mendeley/Evrard, Denner, van Wachem - 2020 - Height-function curvature estimation with arbitrary order on non-uniform Cartesian grids.pdf:pdf}, issn = {25900552}, journal = {Journal of Computational Physics: X}, keywords = {Arbitrary order,Curvature,Height-function,Non-uniform grid,Volume-of-fluid}, month = {jun}, number = {May}, pages = {100060}, publisher = {Elsevier Inc.}, title = {{Height-function curvature estimation with arbitrary order on non-uniform Cartesian grids}}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpx.2020.100060 https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2590055220300123}, volume = {7}, year = {2020} }

I exported the .bib file from Mendeley, and I import it into my main.tex file using:

\usepackage[square,comma,numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}

\begin{document} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography} \bibliographystyle{siam} \bibliography{Mendeley.bib} \end{document}

Interestingly, this only occurs for some bibliography styles. I would like to use siam though. Can someone advise me on this?

    Some bibliography styles replace the author name by a line if it is the same as the previous author in the list, i.e., if you cite multiple papers by the same author(s). This is a design choice in the style, if you don't want this then the easiest solution is to choose another style that always prints the names. – Marijn Aug 19 '20 at 07:57

  • Okay, thanks so much for the info! – niran90 Aug 19 '20 at 08:00
