I use the package natbib together with the bibtex style abbrvnat
. I obtain citations like [Gaucher, 2010a]. If I put directly the bbl file produced by the compilation in the LaTeX file, I obtain citations like (Gaucher, 2010a). Why are the brackets replaced by parentheses ? I absolutely need brackets and I must absolutely put the bbl file in the latex file. The journal does not want a separated bibtex file.

In that case, be sure to provide the option square
when loading natbib
:
\usepackage[authoryear,square]{natbib}
natbib
package with the optionsquare
? What happens if you load the package with the optionround
?
