I'm trying to cite a paper with multiple authors using APA standard using natbib
.
For the initial citation, all authors should be listed, then for subsequent references it should start to use et al
. I can't get this working, and the first instance of a reference appears as below:
I've tried using both \citep{}
and \citep*{}
, neither expand the authors. Here's the entry as it appears in the bib file:
@article{Goodrich2009,
year = {2009},
month = dec,
publisher = {American Medical Association ({AMA})},
volume = {163},
number = {12},
author = {Samantha A. Goodrich and Tiffany A. Pempek and Sandra L. Calvert},
title = {Formal Production Features of Infant and Toddler {DVDs}},
journal = {Archives of Pediatrics {\&} Adolescent Medicine}
}
I'm using apalike
as the bibliography style, but the problem still persists when using apa
.
apalike
bibliography style is one of the "original" bibliography style files, created around the time BibTeX was created. I.e., it dates back to the early 1980s and it hasn't been changed substantially since then. Moreover, theapalike
bib style predates thenatbib
package by more than a decade. As such,apalike
is not set up to work with natbib'slongnamesfirst
option. As suggested in @Denis's answer, you're better off switching to theapacite
bib style and eponymous citation management package.
