natbib | Numbered Citations

Post by alphaace »

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to make the natbib package number my references? I still want it to be referenced as it always is when I use \citet or \citep, but I want my references to be numbered [1], [2], ....

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thank you!

Unfortunately you do not give a proper minimal example of what your are doing. So the below suggestions are only speculations of what you might want.

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{lamport94,
  author = {Leslie Lamport},
  edition = {Second},
  note = {User's Guide and Reference Manual},
  publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
  title = {{\LaTeX\ -- A Document Preparation System}},
  year = {1994}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

\begin{document}
  \citep{lamport94} or \citet{lamport94}
  \bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

I'm resurrecting this thread because I have the same question and it's the only mention I've found of this issue thus far.

I would like to keep the standard natbib author-year citations within my main text, e.g. (Allan et al. 2009), but also have numbering in my bibliograpy/reference list, e.g.

1. Allan, B.F., Langerhans, R.B., Ryberg, W.A., Landesman, W.J., Griffin, N.W., Katz, R.S., Oberle, B.J., Schutzenhofer, M.R., Smyth, K.N., de St Maurice, A., Clark, L., Crooks, K.R., Hernandez, D.E., McLean, R.G., Ostfeld, R.S., Chase, J.M. & de St. Maurice, A. (2009). Ecological correlates of risk and incidence of West Nile virus in the United States. Oecologia, 158, 699–708.

Is this possible?
