Summary: I'm trying to figure out how to switch between [author-last-name et al. year]
and author-last-name [year]
formatting using the ACM-Reference-Format-Journals format.
Details:
I'm using the ACM Small Standard Format and I noticed a paper that sometime has references with [Author year] in brackets and sometimes just the year. What I want to do is probably clearer looking at an example from another paper:
The Java programs[Kazi and Lilja 2000]
citation uses the "[Author year]" style, while Bhowmik and Franklin [2002]
uses the "Author [year]" style.
I looked at the ACM-Reference-Format-Journals.bst
and saw that the comments seem to indicate different citation formation options exist. But it's not clear to me how to select the format I want for various differnt cite{...}
citations in my latex file. So my question is how can I pick between two different formats.
% Citation format: [author-last-name year]
% [author-last-name and author-last-name year]
% [author-last-name, author-last-name, and author-last-name year]
% [author-last-name et al. year]
% [author-last-name]
% author-last-name [year]
% [author-last-name and author-last-name]
% [author-last-name et al.]
% [year] or [year,year]
% year or year,year
