Hi,
Just started using bibtex to help with the organization of citations
in papers and the like... i am currently using the bibtex style
called "named" with the command:
\bibliographystyle{named}
... as suggested on this website:
http://netra.wustl.edu/links/latex/latex.html
my intent was to get citations that look like (author, year) ... the
"named" style was the closest that I could get, however the citations
end up looking like [author, year] ...
Did you try "apalike"? That's a standard one. There are many styles
available, but finding the right one can be difficult. Unless it is a
requirement, numbered references are much prefered over author-date.
any ideas on how to get the more traditional (author, year) style?
thanks!
PS: for anyone using macos X there is a great application called
"Bibdesk" which can help manage your .bib file. Anyone know of a
similar tool for Linux?
I use pybliographer, but there are many other bib management programs
available.
Jonathan

Numbered references are only preferred over author-date in some fields;
in political science (and most social sciences), numbered references are
frowned upon. Try American Political Science Review (APSR) style for
good author-date citations with () instead of [], it is based on the
Harvard style used in natbib.
