Edit:
I realised it has something to do with the fact that I referenced Vo earlier on in a separate paper (Vo 2008). Now the in-text citations work fine if I refer to Vo as "Vo, Tri Tranh", but the bibliography now reads
Which is still not ideal since it should be "Vo, Tri Tranh" following on from "Bui, Truong Giang".
Original:
New Latex user. I'm trying to reference Bui and Vo (2007), and their full names are Bui Truong Giang and Vo Tri Tranh.
I know that bibtex uses "and" as a separator and "," to distinguish between first and last names, therefore I've formatted my bib entry as such
@article{BV:2007,
title={Approach to Development Gaps in ASEAN: A Vietnamese Perspective},
author={Bui, {Truong Giang} and Vo, {Tri Tranh} },
journal={ASEAN Economic Bulletin},
volume={24},
number={1},
pages={164--180},
year={2001},
}
However, when I use \parencite or \textcite in my main file it comes out as (am aware there is a typo that was changed after I took the screenshot, it should read 2007 not 2001)
Where it works for Bui, but not for Vo.
Same issue in the referencing, so somehow it's just not going into the code right.
Any help would be appreciated. I just want the citation to come out as "(Bui and Vo 2007)", and preferably "Bui Truong Giang and Tri Tranh Vo (2007)." in the bibliography.
If it helps, my starting code is
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
Thank you!!
