(1990) (same as \citet) \citet{key} --> Jones et al. (1990) \citep{key} --> (Jones et al., 1990) \citep{key1,key2} --> (Jones et al., 1990; Smith, 1989) or (Jones et al., 1990, 1991) or (Jones et al., 1990a,b) \citep[chap. 2]{key} --> (Jones et al., 1990, chap. 2) \citep[e.g.,][]{key} --> (e.g., Jones et al., 1990) \citep[see][pg. 34]{key} --> (see Jones et al., 1990, pg. 34) \citet*{key} --> Jones, Baker, and Williams (1990) \citep*{key} --> (Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990) \citealt{key} --> Jones et al. 1990 \citealt*{key} --> Jones, Baker, and Williams 1990 \citealp{key} --> Jones et al., 1990 \citealp*{key} --> Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990 \citeauthor{key} --> Jones et al. \citeauthor*{key} --> Jones, Baker, and Williams \citeyear{key} --> 1990 \citeyearpar{key} --> (1990) \citetext{priv. comm.} --> (priv. comm.) \Citeauthor{dRob98} --> Della Robbia (capitalize "della Robbia") \Citet{dRob98} --> Della Robbia (1998) \Citep{dRob98} --> (Della Robbia, 1998) \defcitealias{key}{text} (alias) \citetalias{key} --> text \citepalias{key} --> (text) Defining the citation style of a given bib style: Use \bibpunct (in the preamble only) with 6 mandatory arguments: 1. opening bracket for citation 2. closing bracket 3. citation separator (for multiple citations in one \cite) 4. the letter n for numerical styles, s for superscripts else anything for author-year 5. punctuation between authors and date 6. punctuation between years (or numbers) when common authors missing One optional argument is the character coming before post-notes. It appears in square braces before all other arguments. May be left off. Example (and default) \bibpunct[, ]{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,} To make this automatic for a given bib style, named newbib, say, make a local configuration file, natbib.cfg, with the definition \newcommand{\bibstyle@newbib}{\bibpunct...} Then the \bibliographystyle{newbib} will cause \bibstyle@newbib to be called on THE NEXT LATEX RUN (via the aux file). Such preprogrammed definitions may be invoked in the text (preamble only) by calling \citestyle{newbib}. This is only useful if the style specified differs from that in \bibliographystyle. With \citeindextrue and \citeindexfalse, one can control whether the \cite commands make an automatic entry of the citation in the .idx indexing file. For this, \makeindex must also be given in the preamble. Sample call and options for punctuation: \usepackage[square,comma]{natbib} round round parentheses are used (default) square square brackets are used [option] curly curly braces are used {option} angle angle brackets are used
