I'm trying to numerate the references list but having them ordered in order of appearance. I can't find how to do that anywhere.

The code is, more or less, like this

\usepackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}
(...)
\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{referencias}
\end{document}

The document resulting of that code is close to what I wanted, but the references lists still not numbered. Here are some screenshots.

The thing is, I can set the references to use numbers or Harvard referencing style, but not both.

Is there any way to do this using natbib?

Hope you can understand what am I trying to do here and give me a piece of advice.

Thx a lot!

.tex

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}

\begin{document}
\section{First section}

First I'm going to cite \citep{DBLP:journals/chb/Junco12}. I also want you to read \citet{Kirschner20101237} and \citep*{Ross2009578}. Don't forget to tell me what do you think about them.

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{mwe-ref}
\end{document}

  • Could you comment more on this? I have the same problem and cannot find a solution. So far, my solution has been: 1. Set natbib options to "numbers" and generate the BBL 2. Open the .bbl file and save as a .tex file (with some other name, e.g. fileBib.tex) 3. Use \input{fileBib} at the end of the source file instead of calling the .bib database 4. Re-compiling changing the natbib options to "authoryear". There MUST be an easier way...

I would drop authoryear from \usepackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}

  • Thanks for ur reply, but it didn't make the difference. It just replaced the citations in the text with numbers, and numbered the references list. I want to keep the citations as Harvard style (Jones et al., etc)

    I honestly don't see how this can work to produce the output requested.

Change \bibliographystyle to ieeer and just keep the option numbers when adding Natbib package.

  • Sorry for not making it clear. My point is to set your style to IEEER. Thus, the preamble should be \usepackage[numbers]{natbib} followed by \bibliographystyle{ieeer}

You can try to use it.

\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}


\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{ref}

For me with the NeurIPS template, which by default loads natbib

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\setcitestyle{square,numbers,comma}

works for me
