BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ No labeling of references in works cited

[eflee]

I have searched for a long time to try to figure this out, so I thought that I would ask here.. I am attempting to created a bibliography style file that produces a bibliography with references that are not labeled. However, in the text I would like the references cited with an author-date style citation.

Thus, as a hypothetical example, in the text I would say that dogs are mammals [Boynton 2003].

References:
Boynton, R. A guide to mammals, Harper: New York 2004.

What I keep getting is--
[Boynton 2003] Boynton, R. A guide to mammals, Harper: New York 2004.

Is it possible to eliminate this first part? Or is the fact that bibtex creates a .bbl file with the citation names require them to be in both places?

Hi,

try the natbib package together with the plainnat bibliographical style:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{biblio.bib}
@book{knuth79,
	author = "Donald E. Knuth",
	title = "Tex and Metafont, New Directions in Typesetting",
	year = "1979",
	publisher = "American Mathematical Society and Digital Press",
	address = "Stanford"
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}

\citep{knuth79}

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{biblio}

\end{document}
