Creating custom citation style

Question

I want to built a citation definition identical to this form: [Author, [x], Year], where x is the citation number. Is it possible to do such thing? I am using openbib.

Also is there a way that i can find which commands are valid with openbib, a Google search did not give me much.

I use the cite package.

EDIT: I tried replcacing cite with natbib and used the \citet command, which gives following output: (author?) [15], reference number is valid, and the reference has a author.

Answer 1

Problem solved.

I replaced my cite package with: \usepackage[numbers]{natbib} Added the plainnat style: \bibliographystyle{plainnat}

And created following definition: \def\citeAuthNumYr#1{[\citeauthor{#1}, \citep{#1}, \citeyear{#1}]}
