I want to cite as "Simpson and Bouvier (2011, 2014a,b)" or "Simpson and Bouvier (2011, 2014a, 2014b)", but with apacite
and the natbibapa
option I am obtaining "Simpson and Bouvier (2011,1,1)". How to change this?
The MWE:
\documentclass[oneside,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\begin{document}
Got: Simpson and Bouvier (2011,1,1) using \cite{Simpson2011, Simpson2014, Simpson2014a}\\
Desired: Simpson and Bouvier (2011, 2014a,b) or Simpson and Bouvier (2011, 2014a, 2014b)
\begin{thebibliography}{3}
\bibitem[Simpson and Bouvier, 2011]{Simpson2011}

\newblock Title 2011.
\newblock {\em Journal}, vol(num):pages.

\end{document}
thebibliography
do not quite look like the entries generated byapacite.bst
when you use BibTeX. In particularapacite
uses a more complex way to generate the extra label/letter. It would be possible to manually recreate that, but I think it is easier to useapacite
with a.bst
file and BibTeX as intended (and as shown in Mico's answer).
