There are only really two kinds of citations I need to have in my paper
(Lewis, 2001)
(Lewis, 2001:54)
where 54 is the page number
After a ton of googling I managed to find out that it's possible to create both these kinds of citations with org-ref
in org-mode
[1] [2]
For a minimal example:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[round]{natbib}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setcitestyle{notesep={:}}
* Test
1. This is an author year citation citep:lewis_plurality_2001
2. This has a page number [[cite:lewis_plurality_2001][100]]
bibliographystyle:apalike
bibliography:bibliography.bib
Will create:
- This is an author year citation (Lewis, 2001)
- This has a page number (Lewis, 2001:100)
But as noted in How to cite author-date including page number in org-mode? - to achieve the citation with page number you have to type [[cite:lewis_plurality_2001][100]]
The problem is that it will be virtually impossible to write a paper where you have to stop and square bracket every reference in that way. So I'm wondering if there isn't an easier way to do this with org-ref
that I'm missing ?
