Author initials on in-text citations

Note: A new version of Paperpile is coming in summer 2024. Please visit our temporary new Help Center until these pages are updated.

This is usually the result of disambiguation. When two or more cited authors have the same last name, they are disambiguated by adding initials and/or first/middle names.

If the initials are being added to entries by a same author, the solution is to edit the metadata from the library so that the names match exactly.
