General ⇒ question about Latex references

[cool_divya_4u]

Folks,

I'd like my references to be completely listed when I cite them. For example,

Instead of "it has been shown in [55-58]"
I would like "it has been shown in [55],[56],[57,[58]"

How do I do that? I am using \bibliographystyle{plain}

Thanks.

I'm fairly sure you must be using some other reference-related packages, like, perhaps, natbib, etc. I don't think it's possible to help without that information.

Here are packages I am using:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{epsfig,cite,times,fullpage,wrapfig,titlesec,longtable,url,selectp}
\usepackage[paper=letterpaper]{geometry}

By the way, a small correction to how I need the references to look:
I would like like this: "it has been shown in [55,56,57,58]".

Thanks again.

If you want each one as a separate citation (very unusual), then use one \cite per reference.

[cool_divya_4u]

If I use one \cite per reference then it shows up as "[55],[56],[57]". I would like it to look as "[55,56,57]".

Any other advice? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's the cite package that is compressing your references.

Try changing:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{epsfig,cite,times,fullpage,wrapfig,titlesec,longtable,url,selectp}

to:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[nocompress]{cite}
\usepackage{epsfig,times,fullpage,wrapfig,titlesec,longtable,url,selectp}

(You might also want to use mathptmx or txfonts or txfontsb or tgtermes rather than times... I think the times package is considered obsolete.)

Thanks a lot. The nocompress option for \cite did the trick.
