Author Ownership, e.g., Smith's (2002, 2004)
I'm new to LaTeX. Things had been going swimmingly until I hit a piece of text saying something to the end of:
"... Smith's (2002, 2004)..."
I know how to do the multiple references, but not the apostrophe and 's' on the end of Smith. My BibTeX file has references like Smith_creation_2002 and Smith_destruction_2004. No idea how to bring the ownership apostrophe in here. Any ideas for this example?
Thanks in advance

harvard has \possessivecite, but most packages don't have anything to do that. Assuming you're using natbib: either write "Smith's \citeyearpar{...}", or "\citeauthor{...}'s \citeyearpar{...}", or write your own \citeg (or whatever you want to call it. "possessivecite" is a horrid name; "g" is for "genitive"), but it seems like a reasonably complicated thing to do in general...Dutty_Sutty wrote:Hi,
