BibTeX, biblatex and biber

I'm using the natbib package. My documents have citations with ampersands rather than 'and.' 'Smith & Jones (2005)' rather than 'Smith and Jones (2005)'. How do I get citations with 'and' in the natbib package?

I searched online for a solution but I can't find any straightforward way in natbib. I saw a few suggestions about going into style files and modifying them but I have no idea how to do this.

I am back to searching for a solution because I need to submit a paper with 'and' rather than ampersand in the citations. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a solution while staying with natbib.

Anyone have a solution?

I found the answer that works for me after a lot of searching. It produces 'and' instead of an ampersand for multiple author citations in both the citations and references.

Add this line in the preamble when using the natbib package:

Code: Select all

\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\harvardand}{and}}
