My bibliography is not showing the author of some of my references. Which ones it shows seems to be affected by the order in which i cite them, and I have no idea whats going on. The actual document has 20+ references and seems to be completely random which ones work and which don't. I am using overleaf if that matters.

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel} %referencing package
\usepackage{csquotes} %references/quotes

\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex} \addbibresource{sample.bib}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents \thispagestyle{empty}

\chapter{Introduction} %\cite{MATLAB:docs:max} \cite{MATLAB:2020}

\section{Next Section} \cite{MATLAB:docs:find} \cite{MATLAB:docs:max} \cite{MATLAB:docs:for}

\printbibliography[title={References}, heading=bibintoc]

\end{document}

results in: enter image description here

and if i uncomment the first "\cite{MATLAB:docs:max}"

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents \thispagestyle{empty}

\chapter{Introduction} \cite{MATLAB:docs:max} \cite{MATLAB:2020}

\section{Next Section} \cite{MATLAB:docs:find} \cite{MATLAB:docs:max} \cite{MATLAB:docs:for}

\printbibliography[title={References}, heading=bibintoc]

\end{document}

it changes which authors it does/doesnt show correctly: enter image description here

Full code for references "sample.bib"

@book{MATLAB:2020,
year = {2020},
author = {MATLAB},
title = {9.8.0.1417392 (R2020a)},

address = {Natick, Massachusetts}
}

@online{MATLAB:docs:find, author = "Mathworks ", title = "Find", year = "2021", url = "https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/find.html", addendum = "(accessed: \today)", keywords = "MATLAB,documentation, Mathworks, function" }

    Isn't that just the standard marker for a repeated author? This is used by some styles/journals. – daleif Mar 30 '21 at 06:12
  • In addition, references are numbered in their order of appearance. But you can change this behaviour setting another style. – NBur Mar 30 '21 at 07:17
  • BTW, babel is not a “referencing package” ;) – NBur Mar 30 '21 at 07:19

    Yes, by default biblatex-ieee dashes same authors. You can turn that off with an option, though https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/131625/35864. Since ieee is a numeric style, I don't think it makes much sense to keep have dashed=true, be the default, so I opened https://github.com/josephwright/biblatex-ieee/issues/60 & https://github.com/josephwright/biblatex-ieee/pull/61 – moewe Mar 30 '21 at 07:25
