I have made a custom bibliography style with the makebst
utility, where i chose numerical in-text citations. The default style is apparently with square brackets around the citation number, but i need parentheses around the number.
My style is not compatible with the natbib
package so the "change square to round" solution does not solve the problem.
Here is my custom.bst which i made to suit the needs of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
MWE:
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[margin=2.54cm]{geometry}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{\quad#1.}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
I want these square brackets to be parentheses\cite{Turner-McGrievy2015}, like this(1).
\bibliographystyle{ajcn}
\bibliography{library}
\end{document}
