beamer title with \hfill

Question

I include citations in the titles of slides and I would like the citations to be right justified (fully) while the title itself is left justified. I used

<title-text> \hfill <\cite{}>

but this does not push the citation to make it right-justified; it simply moves the citation a bit to the right as shown in the following figure. Is there any way to make the citation right-justified?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Following the suggestion at How do I write something at the end of the slide in beamer? as suggested by 3cat I defined

\newcommand{\myhfill}{\hskip0pt plus 1filll}

and used \myhfill instead of \hfill and it works like a charm. Putting this as an answer since otherwise I cannot close the question.
