apalike, natbib | Numbered instead of Author-Year Citations

Post by adwanced »

Hello,
I'm doing a work by chapters with references in the end of all.
I included "\usepackage{natbib}" and "\usepackage{apalike}" in the preamble of the main document (the chapters are into folders) but the references appear with a number (e.g.)(6) instead of (Author,year).
Can anyone please help telling me how I can fix this problem?
Thank you in advance,

I'm not familiar with the apalike package, but what if you try this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}
And if that doesn't work, try to use \citep{...} instead of \cite{...}, as explained here.

I'm already using the \citep{} and citet{}. The \usepackage[authoryear]{natbib} does not work...
