Hi,

I can’t get a proper bibliography to work.

I want to have author-year citation style. Therefore I’m using “natbib” with
style “author-year”.

In the text of the document the citation looks good, e.g. [Kühnel et al.,
2008].

In the bibliography the part in brackets is missing:

Kühnel, C., Weiss, B., Wechsung, I., Fagel, S. and Möller, S. (2008),
Evaluating talking heads for smart home systems, in 'IMCI '08: Proceedings
of the 10th international conference on Multimodal interfaces', ACM, New
York, NY, USA, pp. 8184.

How can I get  [Kühnel et al., 2008] before the text? I can't figure out the
problem. I tried different bst files, including self-generated ones, but
with no luck.

This is a question of the BST file, and different ones will do things different ways. That said, I think the reason it is being formatted as it is is that you don't really need the key before the entry. The key is a lookup for the entry, and, unless something very odd is happening, you ought to be able to look this up by finding "Kühnel", etc, etc. This is especially so in this case,
obviously, since the year is there at the beginning, too.

If you really do want the key at the beginning, then you may have to hack your own BST file, and by that I mean not just "use makebst" but actually go in there and put the key in manually. This is by no means impossible, but it will take work to learn enough of the BibTeX language
to be able to do it.
