Citing Several Sources

Post by acidk »

Hi folks!

I want to cite several sources and instead of getting the citations separated like [1],[2],[3] I would like to get something like [1-3] :twisted:

I found this post :
http://www.mrunix.de/forums/showthread.php?t=38204

and added:
\usepackage[sort&compress,square,numbers]{natbib}

to my Latex environment - sadly I have still the same problem.


Furthermore I cant explain why just the last name of the first author is completely written out, while the other authors are just abbreviated like:

[27] de Taminau, J. T. G. W. H.
Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling,2008,27,161-169.

Is it a matter of the chosen citation style?? It would be fantastic if anybody of you has an idea how to fix that.

Thanks,

florian

The sort&compress option for natbib should be able to solve your first problem. Maybe you can post a Minimal Working Example.

You already gave the answer to your second problem, that's probably due to the citation style you chose. This document gives an overview of some citation styles.
