Apa style citation
I'm looking for the command to use "apa style" citation instead of the citation based on numbers with hiperlinks.
Thanks in advance
Ask on http://tex.stackexchange.com/. I switched to using BibLaTeX, for example.
In Dissertate.cls, simply replace \RequirePackage[super,comma,numbers]{natbib}
with \RequirePackage{natbib}
. You may want to adjust the color of the citations (search for citecolor=
). Finally, if you want a single link for each citation (rather than separate links on author and year) you can use this hack: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/27235
Specifically, paste this at the bottom of Dissertate.cls
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\pretocmd{\NAT@citex}{%
\let\NAT@hyper@\NAT@hyper@citex
\def\NAT@postnote{#2}%
\setcounter{NAT@total@cites}{0}%
\setcounter{NAT@count@cites}{0}%
\forcsvlist{\stepcounter{NAT@total@cites}\@gobble}{#3}}{}{}
\newcounter{NAT@total@cites}
\newcounter{NAT@count@cites}
\def\NAT@postnote{}
% include postnote and \citet closing bracket in hyperlink
\def\NAT@hyper@citex#1{%
\stepcounter{NAT@count@cites}%
\hyper@natlinkstart{\@citeb\@extra@b@citeb}#1%
\ifnumequal{\value{NAT@count@cites}}{\value{NAT@total@cites}}
{\ifNAT@swa\else\if*\NAT@postnote*\else%
\NAT@cmt\NAT@postnote\global\def\NAT@postnote{}\fi\fi}{}%
\ifNAT@swa\else\if\relax\NAT@date\relax
\else\NAT@@close\global\let\NAT@nm\@empty\fi\fi% avoid compact citations
\hyper@natlinkend}
\renewcommand\hyper@natlinkbreak[2]{#1}
% avoid extraneous postnotes, closing brackets
\patchcmd{\NAT@citex}
{\ifNAT@swa\else\if*#2*\else\NAT@cmt#2\fi
\if\relax\NAT@date\relax\else\NAT@@close\fi\fi}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\NAT@citex}
{\if\relax\NAT@date\relax\NAT@def@citea\else\NAT@def@citea@close\fi}
{\if\relax\NAT@date\relax\NAT@def@citea\else\NAT@def@citea@space\fi}{}{}
\makeatother
Can anyone else help here? Switching citation styles, \citeauthor or cite title do not work for me.
Not sure if this will help, but my dissertation has APA citations (I think): https://github.com/fredcallaway/dissertation
I did notice that I have \bibliographystyle{apalike2}
in my dissertation.tex. And as I said above I removed options to natbib in DIssertate.cls so it's just \RequirePackage{natbib}
