Change Citation Style Just Once in Document

Post by SamBam77 »

For the vast majority of the citations in my document I would like to use superscripts in the text to reference items in the bibliography at the end. However, in rare circumstances (just once or twice), I would like to change the citation state such that the citation number appears in-line with the actual text, and not as a superscript, and still references an entry at the end.

For example, right now all of my citations look like this:
This is a normal sentence with a citation at the end, blah, blah, blah.[sup]23[/sup]
where the superscript, “23,” is the number of that citation corresponding to its entry in the bibliography at the end.

But I would like to change it to this in rare circumstances:
As can be seen in Reference 23, blah, blah, blah
where now “23” is in-line with the rest of the text, and not as a superscript, and will still reference an entry in the final bibliography.

Of course, in this example I am hard-coding in "23" for discussion purposes, when in reality it should autonumber based on where it actually falls in the document.
How can I do this?

Currently I am using the natbib package to make my citations using the \cite{} command to references from a bibtex file.

Ok, I figured it out.
The solution may be found here:

I used the \citenum{} command.

Question solved.
