I need to use a style file that does not allow use of natbib
, but I still want to use something similar to the \citeauthor
or \citet
command from natbib
. This similar to this question, but that answer references use of natbib. I've also tried using biblatex
, but the results were not close enough to the abbrv
style that I need to use for BibTeX. Does anyone know a way around this?
Edit: the bibliography style isn't the issue. The stylefile doesn't allow using natbib
.
Edit: Another restriction is I have to eventually make a self contained file. The recommendation is copy the .bbl
in to where the bibliography section was, but I was unable to get a procedure like that to work with biblatex
.
biblatex
, have a look at tex.stackexchange.com/questions/58152/…abbrv
. Have you considered using the styleabbrvnat
-- which would be compatible withnatbib
?natbib
, probably the people you want to submit your paper to don't want an author-year citation scheme. Emulating whatnatbib
does would mean rewrite it.
