I use JabRef for my bibliography and implemented it the following way:
\usepackage[backend=biber,
style=authoryear,
maxnames=3,
citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
I have the following two citations from the same year (2019):
author = {Coppedge, Michael and John Gerring and Carl Henrik Knutsen
and Staffan I. Lindberg and Jan Teorell and David Altman
and Michael Bernhard and M. Steven Fish and Adam Glynn
and Allen Hicken and Anna Lührmann and Kyle L. Marquardt
and Kelly McMann and Pamela Paxton and Daniel Pemstein
and Brigitte Seim and Rachel Sigman and Svend-Erik Skaaning
and Jeffrey Staton and Steven Wilson and Agnes Cornell
and Lisa Gastaldi and Haakon Gjerløw and Nina Ilchenko
and Joshua Krusell and Laura Maxwell and Valeriya Mechkova
and Juraj Medzihorsky and Josefine Pernes
and Johannes von Römer and Natalia Stepanova
and Aksel Sundström and Eitan Tzelgov and Yi-ting Wang
and Tore Wig and Daniel Ziblatt}
and
author = {Coppedge, Michael and John Gerring and Carl Henrik Knutsen
and Staffan I. Lindberg and Jan Teorell and David Altman
and Michael Bernhard and M. Steven Fish and Adam Glynn
and Allen Hicken and Anna Lührmann and Kyle L. Marquardt
and Kelly McMann and Pamela Paxton and Daniel Pemstein
and Brigitte Seim and Rachel Sigman and Svend-Erik Skaaning
and Jeffrey Staton and Agnes Cornell and Lisa Gastaldi
and Haakon Gjerløw and Valeriya Mechkova
and Johannes von Römer and Aksel Sundtröm and Eitan Tzelgov
and Luca Uberti and Yi-ting Wang and Tore Wig and Daniel Ziblatt}
Since the names are largely overlapping, the first article appears as
Coppedge, Gerring, Knutsen, Lindberg, Teorell, Altman, Bernhard, Fish, Glynn, Hicken, Lührmann, Marquardt, McMann, Paxton, Pemstein, Seim, Sigman, Skaaning, Staton, Wilson, et al. (2019).
Is there a possibility to cite those as
Coppedge et al. (2019a)
and
Coppedge et al. (2019b)
instead (with the bibliography in accordance of course) or at least something similar without having to learn how to "code" my own bibliography? In my eyes it just doesn't look professional to have such long citations in a thesis.
Rather, with
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear, maxnames=3, uniquelist=false, citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex} \addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
the document refuses to compile once I've closed it. If I delete "uniquelist=false" again the document works again.
