BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ natbib | Use Author Citation with custom Bibliography Style

[daviddoria]

I am trying to use \citeauthor from the natbib package with a bibliography style that is provided by a journal. Is this possible? I looked at "plainnat.bst", but I didn't see any instances of \citeauthor that I was hoping to just copy into "mystyle.bst".

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

[…] Is this possible? […]

How are we supposed to know?

Sorry, let me elaborate.

I have attached demo tex/bib files. It wouldn't let me upload the bst on the forum, so here it is: daviddoria.com/Uploads/ieee.bst

When I use \bibliographystyle{ieee}, I get "author undefined" errors on the \citeauthor lines. It works fine if I use \bibliographystyle{plainnat}

I hope that clears up the problem.

This link is invalid. Hence the file is not available to others.

It's always possible to put files into a RAR or ZIP archive and upload this. That would be the better way instead of external links which can get lost with time.

Regardless of that I think that a look into the IEEEtran manual will surely be enlightened.

I tried the IEEEtran bib style you suggested but it does not seem to support \citeauthor. I have attached the demo files as a zip.

With \bibliographystyle{unsrtnat} everything compiles properly. With \bibliographystyle{ieee} I get "author undefined for citation" errors.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David
