General ⇒ authordate1 bibstyle entries between "()" in stead of "[]"

[varpun]

Hi,

I am using Miktex 2.7. My gool is to use the authordate1 bibstyle. So,
I installed the package authordate1-4 and I wrote this code:

Code: Select all

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside]{book}
...
\usepackage{authordate1-4}

\begin{document}
...
...
\bibliographystyle{authordate1}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

When I taped

Code: Select all

\cite{Granger03,Zhang93}

, I got: (Granger, 2003; Zhang,
1993).

What I'm expecting is [Granger, 2003; Zhang, 1993] as showen in http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/ ... owbst.html

Is it possible that authordate1 bibstyle generate bibliographies with
"[]" in stead of "()"?

If not, please provide me the name of another bibstyle ?

Thanks,

Hi,

I suggest you to use the natbib package. It allows you to control several aspects, including the shape of the brackets. Refer to the package documentation for further information.

Thank you very much. The natbib package worked well. In fact, I really got [Granger, 2003; Zhang, 1993] as I wanted.

My problem now is the style of the references. When I used the the bibstyle unsrtnat, I got:

Sébastien Granger. Une approche statistique multi-échelle au recalage rigide
de surfaces : Application à l'implantologie dentaire. PhD thesis, École des
Mines de Paris, 2003.

What I'm expecting is:

[Granger, 2003] Une approche statistique multi-échelle au recalage rigide
de surfaces : Application à l'implantologie dentaire. PhD thesis, École des
Mines de Paris, 2003.

I tried some other bibstyles like plainnat.bst, abbrvnat.bst but without success.
(Same result for abbrvnat plainnat unsrtnat apalike aaai-named humannat newapa phapalik phreport)

Is there any bibstyle suggestion?

Thanks.
