placing citations at the end of sentence

Question

Is it possible to move all the citations that i have cited to appear at the end of the line in the compiled pdf doc.

For example if i do

The common \cite{cite1} trend in much of the preceding work is that

the citation will come right after the word common and before trend

Is there a method where i can say globally to make all the citations appear at the end, without having to manually move them ?

Answer 1

The easiest thing to do would be to use

The common\marginpar{\cite{cite1}} trend in much of the preceding work is that

Answer 2

A solution would be to use \citet instead of \cite and loading the natbib or biblatex package.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{li,
  author = "Li, Li",
  title = "Some title",
  year = 2012,
  journal = "Some Journal"
}  
\end{filecontents}

%% for ieee (numeric) citation style
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}

%% for apa (author-date) citation style
%\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}

According to \citet{li} text.

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{\jobname.bib}  
\end{document}
