I'm trying to write a document with references (from a bibtex file) that are numbered (e.g., a fun fact [3]) with the numbers starting at 34. (This is for submitting the supplement to a paper, written in LaTeX, where the main paper has been written by my coauthors using a different word processor program and the references in the supplement are required to continue sequentially after the references in the main paper.) I can get numbered references with the cite or natbib packages, but I can't figure out how to change the value of the reference number using either package. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this (using cite, natbib, or some other package)?
Thanks, Ian

Numbered Citations which start from an arbitrary Value
I was having the same issue (for journal submission as well).
Found this on another site but thought I'd repost as this seems to be badly documented:
Bibtex (apparently) uses the enumiv counter.
In the preamble:
This will start referencing from arb.value + 1

In the preamble:
Code: Select all
\let\oldthebibliography=\thebibliography
\let\oldendthebibliography=\endthebibliography
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
\oldthebibliography{#1}%
\setcounter{enumiv}{ <arb.value> }%
}{\oldendthebibliography}
