Generated bibtex keys not unique #214

Open simmichj opened 3 years ago

simmichj commented 3 years ago

Bibtex keys appear to just be formatted as just "[author surbname]_[year]". That is, last name of first author and year, separated by an underscore character. This commonly generates non-unique keys for multiple publications by the same author in the same year, which is a common occurrence for many use cases (for instance, the example given in the rorcid package is to extract the DOI information for all publications from a given author, and then use the rcrossref package to generate a bibtex file from that list of DOIs). The lack of non-unique keys poses a problem when attempting to refer to specific references by their key.

My current workaround is to use the RefManageR package to make the entries unique.

Thanks for the issue. Are you looking for some sort of change in rcrossref? What are you after?
