bibTeX author-year format
Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:42 pm
I'm trying to make BE to create a bibTeX output that allows to use the author-year format, i.e. citations have the format (Doe, 2010) without author initials, and with using "et al." for longer lists of authors.
When I use BE with bibTeX to create citations that are numbered, everything works fine using
$\bibitem{${u1}$}$
a (d). t. j v, p-.
The problem is that the selections under "Citation Option" in the Formats Manager do not seem to have any effect. When I try to do the following, I get the expected citation result (complete author list with initials etc.), but without the extra formatting possibilities given under "citation options" (such as: using et al. for more than 2 authors).
$\bibitem[$a (d)$]{${u1}$}$
a (d). t. j v, p-.
What should I do, or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Joerg
