BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Natbib package: only expanding one author list

[astrok]

Hi all,

I have a question about citing multiple authors, but only printing the full author list for one of the papers. I have a situation where I want to cite two papers in the same set of parenthesis, but I only want to expand the set of authors in one of the papers. I am using the Natbib and Bibtex packages. The set up is as follows:

paper1: 4 authors; paper2: 3 authors (the standard in my field is to expand 3 author papers on the first citation)

\citep*[see][for review]{paper1,paper2}

The problem I am having is that this command expands both author lists into the long citation. I know I could use the option [longnamefirst] in my natbib package declaration, but I only want to expand 3 author papers on the first citation, not all papers.

Any suggestions?

While it's not necessarily a graceful fix I ended up writing it like this:

(see \citealt{paper1}; \citealt*{paper2} for review)

If anyone has a better way to do this I would still appreciate hearing it.
