Several Page References in various Citations

Post by tobisax »

Dear community,

unfortunately I am currently experiencing a problem I couldn't yet find in the forum.

When I'm citing in a paper I need to add page references to the citations. for citations with just one author, this is no problem:

Code: Select all

\citep[p. 555]{author.1900}
and so on...
Output:
(author, 1900, p. 555)
But I have a few sentences where various authors are cited in the following style:

Code: Select all

\citep{author1.1901, author2.1902, author3.1903}
Output:
(Isoherranen et al., 2011; Lucas et al., 2012)
My problem now is how I can add page references to each author. an example might be:
blablabla (author1, 1901, p. 555; author2, 1902, p. 222)
I hope I adressed the problem clearly. If you need any code information, I am more than happy to provide it. I would appreciate your help a lot!

Many thanks
Tobi

Do you use biblatex? If so you can probably use its command

Code: Select all

\parencites[35]{key1}[88--120]{key2}[23]{key3}
See section »3.6.3 Qualified citation lists« for further details.

Disclaimer: I have never used the command nor have I tested it.

Dear Clemens,

thanks for your fast response. I don't use BibLaTeX, but I use BibTex. That is probably the reason why the command you suggested doesn't work.

the output looks like:
[p.75]Walls.2008[p. 502]Abbott.1979[p. 61]Bowman.1984.
Code:

Code: Select all

\parencites[p. 75]{Walls.2008}[p. 502]{Abbott.1979}[p. 61]{Bowman.1984}
Did I do any mistake?
Many thanks

Tobi

Depends on your definition of mistake ;)

\parencite is defined by biblatex so it cannot work with BiBTeX. I'm not sure there's a similar command for BiBTeX. If so I'm not aware of it. There might be reasons to switch to biblatex, anyway. See for example this and this question on TeX.SE
