different styles for citation and bibliography

Post by gerion »

Hi everyone,

encountered a problem using natbib: I like the citation style but would like to use another bibliography style for the list of references.

so I tried

\citestyle{plainnat}

\begin{document}

\bibliographystyle{plain}

but the resulting citations are only fragments. So how can I properly use the commands.

Another question: is there an overview over available bibliography styles that can be used. I would like to avoid specifying my own style file.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

With natbib you can change the citation style and als the bibliography style. I included the natbib package pdf with this post and for different bibliography styles look at http://www.stat.psu.edu/~surajit/present/bib.htm. Also searching the web for these topics results in loads of results...

Cheers

Thanks for the response.

So I changed the code such that the \bibliographystyle command is at the end just before \bibliography{bibs}.
Before \begin{document} I included \usepackage{natbib}

So then I try to change the bibliography style. For e.g. apalike it seems to work and the natbib citation style is maintained. However, for acm or ieeetr etc. the citations are screwed up, instead of e.g. "Romer (1986)" just "(9)".

So the citations seem to be affected by the \bibliographystyle-command at the end.

The natbib.pdf refers to the \citestyle{} command, however, including this after \usepackage{natbib} doesn't change the change in citation described above.

What goes wrong?
