natbib APA references for multiple authors
When there are two or more authors on a paper and the reference is
withing brackets, the APA guidelines are that it should be (Linehan
Linehan, 2008). Its doing this, which is good. However, when the
authors are outside the brackets it should be Linehan and Linehan
(2008). The '' sign should never be used outside of brackets. So
natbib should be doing this:
\citet*{jon90} Jones, Baker, and Williams (1990)
\citep*{jon90} (Jones, Baker, Williams, 1990)
Is this something I can modify in a .bst file. Could anyone help me
with this? Im using this natbib compatible .bst file
(http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/~linehane/lyx/apa-good.bst).
Thanks

I don't know if this is possible. The way natbib works, it writes things
like this:
\bibitem[Author Names(Year)]{key}
to the .aux file, where they are picked up by LaTeX. At this point,
natbib knows nothing about how anything will be cited. What might work,
though, would be to re-write the \citet and \citet* commands to replace
the '' with 'and' if it's there. But I'm not at all sure how to do that.
I can think of other ways to do this, too, but they're all pretty
complicated.
