Auto DOI support issue when multiple papers have the same first author and year

[zmoon]

Below I have four DOIs, but in the result, we get two links to the second one of each of the pairs that start the same way. Using Jupyter Book 2.

- https://doi.org/10.1029/2024GL112341

- https://doi.org/10.22541/essoar.174547944.43729039/v1

Edit: doesn't seem to happen in all cases. Not sure what is special about my examples above. But the below start the same but are recognized as separate papers.

Thanks for the report. I think that we are converting to a key that is the author_year for DOIs, which clearly doesn't work well here.

To get a fix for now:

myst build --doi-bib

Change the key (e.g. add an _a: Ocasio2025_a) and then run the command again. The UI won't say 2024a, but the links/hovers will be correct.

Ah, yes, that makes sense, the two pairs do have the same first author and year.

build --doi-bib + edit workaround worked, thanks!

The auto key generation for author "Núñez Ocasio" I found to be a little peculiar. It gave N_ez_Ocasio, where Nunez_Ocasio would make more sense to me.

I suppose we aren't downgrading unicode characters there! Great testing data... ! Thanks again for the issue, and glad you are mostly unblocked for now.
