I am using biblatex in beamer to manage both my bibliography and my in-text citations after having read the following post: How to cite a reference on Beamer as (author, year).
However, I am left with one problem I am not able to solve:
- I have two identical author-year documents, and biblatex is not inserting an extra letter after the year to differentiate the two (both in the in-text citation and in the bibliography):

What I would like to have is:
- (BCBS, 2013a)
- (BCBS, 2013b, 2014)
The same in the bibliography.
Here is the code of the text file:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{dirtytalk}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{scalerel}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[bibstyle=apa, citestyle = apa, backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Bibliography/Library_New}
\renewcommand{\nameyeardelim}{\addcomma\addspace}
\renewcommand{\bibfont}{\tiny}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks,
linkcolor={},
citecolor={blue},
urlcolor={blue}
}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\usefonttheme{structuresmallcapsserif}
\usecolortheme{rose}
\newenvironment{trienv}{\only{\setbeamertemplate{items}[triangle]}}{}
\newenvironment{squareenv}{\only{\setbeamertemplate{items}[square]}}{}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{dcolumn}
\usepackage{rotating}
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
\begin{document}
{
\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}
\begin{frame}[noframenumbering, plain]
\titlepage
\end{frame}
}
\begin{frame}{Citations}
In text:
\begin{itemize}
\item \parencite{BCBS_RCAP2013_RWA}
\item \parencite{BCBSNewMotto2013,BCBSNewMotto2014}
\end{itemize}
\printbibliography[sorting=nty]
\end{frame}
\end{document}
and the code of the bib file:
@techreport{BCBSNewMotto2013,
author = {{BCBS}},
address = {Basel, Switzerland},
institution = {Bank for International Settlements},
isbn = {9291319406},
number = {October},
pages = {1--23},
title = {{Discussion paper - The regulatory framework: balancing risk sensitivity, simplicity and comparability}},
url = {https://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs258.htm},
year = {2013}
}
@techreport{BCBS_RCAP2013_RWA,
author = {BCBS},
institution = {Bank for International Settlements},
address = {Basel, Switzerland},
abstract = {This document is called BCBS 256. This is where it all started (Basel IV). This document outlines for the first time "formally" the huge variability registered within the RWA computations across banks.},
isbn = {929131966X},
keywords = {BCBS},
number = {October},
pages = {57},
title = {{Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme (RCAP) – Analysis of risk-weighted assets for credit risk in the banking book}},
year = {2013}
}
@techreport{BCBSNewMotto2014,
abstract = {This document is called BCBS 306. This document introduces for the first time the motto: greater simplicity, comparability and risk sensitivity of the risk-weighted assets computations.},
address = {Basel, Switzerland},
author = {{BCBS}},
isbn = {9789291973804},
keywords = {BCBS},
number = {December 2014},
pages = {12},
institution = {{Bank for International Settlements}},
title = {{Consultative document - Capital floors: the design of a framework based on standardised approaches}},
year = {2014}
}
Any idea why this could be, and how I might solve it?
Thanks a lot!
bibtexbackend, it requires biber – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Nov 18 '22 at 20:07ams*packages, beamer already loads them for you. Same for graphics and hyperref. Don't loadenumeratewith beamer, you will undo much of beamer's special adjustments to itemize/enumerate environments. If your latex distribution is up to date you don't need to load the inputenc package,utf8is now the default. In\addbibressourcethe file name is missing the.bibsuffix. Better not mess with link colours in beamer, this will undo the careful adjustments of the colour themes. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Nov 18 '22 at 20:14.blgfile. You can download the.blgfile as described in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/462314/35864 for the.bblfile. The.blgfile is a simple text file that can be opened with any text editor (Windows might classify it as a "performance monitor file", but it is just a text file). That file should contain information about errors that Biber encounters. – moewe Nov 22 '22 at 07:39
