    Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. Looking at what you are trying to accomplish, this is done by default in LaTeX when using \cite command. I think you will benefit from reading lshort.

  • Also, we don't usually put a greeting or a "thank you" in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say "thank you" to users who helped you.. Once again, welcome, and enjoy learning with us in this community!

You can achieve this using the natbib package in numerical mode, and its \citet command.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\usepackage{hyperref}  % Hyperlinks bib references.
\begin{document}

  Here is a reference: \citet{Ca04}.
  \bibliographystyle{plainnat}
  \bibliography{test}
\end{document}

I can do it using flexbib package and \cite command:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[plain*,spanish]{flexbib} %in this case the document is in spanish
\begin{document}

Here is a reference: \cite{Ca04}.
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{test}
\end{document}

\newcommand\Myciteauthor[1]{\citeauthor{#1} \cite{#1}}

and use \Myciteauthor instead of \citeauthor in your text

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Without a MWE, your answer is unusable and can even be wrong because the output of cite will depend on the bibliography style used and might not provide a numbered citation.

  • The author never asked for the IEEE style as far as I can read, hence my comment. Moreover, I don't know who downvoted your answer.
