I am using apacite with natbibapa option \usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
in my latex document. At the moment, when I use \cite
, the authors are delimited by "and". I want that to be changed to \&
instead.
For example, I want to go from this referencing style:
Gilfoil and Jobs (2012)
to Gilfoil & Jobs (2012)
I looked at this question: Using “and” instead of ampersand in natbib in-text citations (“\citet”) but this questions is only about the natbib package and is the opposite of what I want.
Any ideas of where to look? I also searched the documentation on apacite here: http://mirrors.ctan.org/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite/apacite.pdf but did not find something related to my question
\cite
without any pre- or postnotes is just\citet
and gives Name (Year), whereas\citep
gives (Name Year). For the former citation style, where the name is outside the parentheses the APA wants "and" between the names, for the latter, when the names are inside the parentheses, the APA wants "&". See blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/02/… and blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/01/….apacite
chances are you want to follow APA style and APA style wants it that way.
