General ⇒ Natbib Numerical citation problem

[curiouslearn]

Hi,

I am using the natbib package for references in my paper. To get numerical citations, I added the numbers option as shown in the code below.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[numbers,sort]{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{chicago}

As indicated in the natbib package documentation, to refer to a particular page number in a reference I use the following code:

Code: Select all

\citet[Pg.~910]{PolinskyShavell1998}

However, instead of giving me the output Polinsky and Shavell [22, Pg. 910], I get the output as Polinsky and Shavell [22], Pg. 910. That is, I get the page number outside the brackets. How can I get that page number inside the bracket? If I do not use the numbers option, i.e., if I stick to the default author-year style then I do not have this problem. The page number goes inside the bracket with the year of the reference. However, the journal requires numerical citation style.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Instead of \citet, try the command \mycite given as follows:

\newcommand{\mycite}[2][]{\citeauthor{#2}~\citep[#1]{#2}}

Thanks very much Juanjo. The solution gave me exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate your help.
