dcu style just doesn't work

Post by jannetta »

Hi Folks

I'm quite desperate now. My citations have to look like this: (Cooper, 1964) and the entry in the reference section has to be in this format:
Cooper, B.M. (1965) Writing Technical Reports, Harmondsworth, Penguin.

To this end I used dcu, which until now has more or less produced something that looks like what I need. However, I also discovered tonight that all the errors I'm getting in my log and missing citations in the text are caused by dcu.

I have changed things a bit and my MWE now looks like this (the only thing still wrong is that the date in the reference section is placed at the end of the reference in stead of in parenthesis after the authors):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[cleanlook, english]{isodate} % for formatting the date of \today
\usepackage[round, author-year]{natbib} % Use the natbib bibliography and citation package
\usepackage{bibtopic}
\usepackage{xcolor} % Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX.
\usepackage{hyperref} % For creating hyperlinks in the toc and references
\usepackage{appendix} % For creating the appendices
\usepackage{makeidx} % For creating the glossary and index
\makeindex
\usepackage[style=altlist]{glossary}
\makeglossary
\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

I have now definitely spent more time on LaTex than on the content of my dissertation. Can anyone perhaps help?

Many thanks
