Genitive: Meyer's (1972) instead Meyer (1972)'s

Post by jojo »

Hi!

I am a beginner with natbib. I'd like to have something like
"Meyer's (1972)" instead of "Meyer (1972)'s", for which I use \citet{Meyer}'s. Any suggestions?

Many thanks!
Johannes

Always or just in one instance?

If in one instance, the best I can think off the top of my head would be:

Code: Select all

Now let's look at \citeauthor{meyer1972}'s \citeyearpar{meyer1972}
Of course you could define a command to make it easier:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\citegenitive}[1]{\citeauthor{#1}'s \citeyearpar{#1}}
And then just use \citegenitive{meyer1972}.

Of course hyperlinks will be broken up, and this won't handle citations with multiple authors as well.

Many thanks! I'd like to get somehow the hyperlinks correct ...

The hyperlinks should work; they're just broken up between the name and the date. Heck, I get them broken up just using \citet! Are you counting the citations or including backreferences to them or something?

In this case, it is totally sufficient. Many thanks!
