Hey! I'm not sure if this is an issue on my side or what, but the APA bibliography style seems to be incorrect when missing certain parts and I wanted to check here before starting an issue on GitHub. When an author, the APA style guidelines say that the source should be referenced from the source title, and when missing a date, it should include "(n.d.)". There are a few issues that I'm experiencing:

  1. When provided an author but not a date, (n.d.) is missing (see image 1)
  2. When provided a date but not an author, the source title is missing (see image 2)
  3. When neither an author or date is provided, the source is missing but (n.d.) is provided (see image 3)

Also, this may not be an issue, but when multiple sources have (n.d.), its starts enumerating over them, like n.d.-a, n.d.-b, n.d.-c, etc. which i don't see mentioned in the APA spec (see image 4)

Thanks for any of the help!

Hey! I'm fixing a few Hayagriva issues today and will be sure to check this out

#

Will be reporting back if I learn something

#

Do you use a Hayagriva YAML file or a BibTeX one?

I was using it on a BibTeX file, but i believe i was able to replicate the behavior or something similar with the hayagriva file

I just confirmed the issue happens with both bibliography formats

@sonic parrot should I make an issue for this on Hayagriva?
