Automatically separate citations from same authors in multiple years

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Description

Right now the program detects multiple sources when they are listed directly after one another. However, they are recorded in one cell, and possibly duplicate other citations when they reference just one of the years listed.
A function that separates such citations into individual ones would help promote readability and reduce duplicated sources. The sources should be listed as such in the reference list.

Expected behavior:

The text includes the following sentence: "AuthorA (2000; 2002; 2003) thoroughly explored..."
The Excel file should list "AuthorA 2000", "AuthorA 2002" and "AuthorA 2003" as separate citations.

Actual behavior:

Excel contains a citation "AuthorA 2000 2002 2003"

Multiple years cited in a row now get recognised as separate citations.
