I am using the natbib package in my latex document. The bibliography style is apalike. The bib file contains the following two entries -- one is a journal article and another is a book, which all have original titles where first letters of words are capitalized. Also, both have url links. My latex document file is then placed below: it cites both of the sources, while the References section has some issues: (1) the title of the article does not capitalize the first letters of the words, (2) urls of these sources are suppressed and not shown. Is this possible to fix these two issues? Thanks!

@article{sen1979,
 ISSN = {00130133, 14680297},
 URL = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/2231867},
 author = {Amartya Sen},
 journal = {The Economic Journal},
 number = {355},
 pages = {537--558},
 publisher = {[Royal Economic Society, Wiley]},
 title = {Personal Utilities and Public Judgements: Or What's Wrong With Welfare Economics},
 urldate = {2024-01-19},
 volume = {89},
 year = {1979}
}

@book{beck2000,
  title={What is Globalization?},
  author={Ulrich Beck},
  year={2000},
  publisher={Polity},
  url={http://www.jstor.org/...}
}

Here is latex code of the simplified document:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\title{LaTeX References: the \textit{natbib} Package}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

Some text from \citep{sen1979}. Also from \citep{beck2000}

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{Data/example} 
\end{document}

    apalike is old and doesn't support url. Can't you use biblatex+biber? Unrelated: Remove the like \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}. utf8 is the default since 5 years anyway, and utf8x doesn't add anything useful nowadays.

  • unrelated but don't ue [utf8x] (it just produces a warning that itshould not be used)

  • @UlrikeFischer Indeed, switching to biblatex seems a great idea. The only thing now I have an issue with \addbibsource{../example.bib} command. The issue is that my latex document and example.bib are in different folders on my PC's hard drive. With natbib this path worked well: ../example.bib. It does not working this way with biblatex. What I am missing here? Many thanks.

TeX file start here

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
%\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\title{LaTeX References: the \textit{natbib} Package}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

Some text from \citep{sen1979}. Also from \citep{beck2000}

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{test} 
\end{document}

Here, have kept grouping for the capital letters and used the package apacite with the option natbibapa
