How can I change the citation style of biblatex mid-document?
I'm using biblatex apa style in combination with authoryear citestyle in Overleaf like this:
\usepackage[style=apa,citestyle=authoryear,maxcitenames=2,mincitenames=1]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
I use different citation methods like textcite and parencite and the results look like this:
According to Howell (2013), the advantages ...
... knee-joint (Shelton, 2014) or ...
This is exactly what I want, however, for a classification in a table I would like to be able to cite by number as well, just like this:
[1]
This means that the apa style bibliography would need numbering and I would like to be able to switch between citation styles. Maybe define a new citation method, so that I can do something like this:
\numbercite{Howell2013}
Is this possible? I appreciate any help. If I need another style in order to achieve the numbering that's fine. Thanks in advance.
style=apa,citestyle=authoryear,
I suggest you drop thecitestyle=authoryear,
and just loadstyle=apa,
. Since APA style is quite complex, so isbiblatex-apa
and it is not really supposed to be mixed with differentcitestyle
s. Things may break. If you need APA style, load onlystyle=apa,
and no further options. if you don't need APA style, it's usually best not to usestyle=apa,
at all.
