I would like to generate author citations in my text, and I have been following the information in this question.
I've got my includes
\usepackage[numbers,
sort&compress
]{natbib} % Sort numerical keys for multiple cites
\section{Example Chapter}
~\citeauthor{born_population_2003}
~\cite{born_population_2003}
I've got my bib file (with standard citations being referenced correctly)
@article{born_population_2003,
title = {Population substructure of North Atlantic minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) inferred from regional variation of elemental and stable isotopic signatures in tissues},
volume = {43},
issn = {09247963},
url = {http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S092479630300085X},
doi = {10.1016/S0924-7963(03)00085-X},
number = {1-2},
urldate = {2013-08-28},
journal = {Journal of Marine Systems},
author = {Born, {E.W.} and Outridge, P. and Riget, {F.F.} and Hobson, {K.A.} and Dietz, R. and Øien, N. and Haug, T.},
month = sep,
year = {2003},
pages = {1--17},
file = {born2003_1-s2.0-S092479630300085X-main.pdf:/home/ryan/.mozilla/firefox/hauwprbq.default/zotero/storage/PMNU4J6G/born2003_1-s2.0-S092479630300085X-main.pdf:application/pdf}
}
But I'm not sure how I should check the compilation part. I'm using a template provided by my university, which is using a Makefile, which uses latexmk to compile the document
default:
#latexmk -jobname=$(builddir) -pdfdvi thesis.tex
latexmk -pdfdvi thesis.tex
The output I'm getting looks like this

Is this some issue with latexmk?
~/citeauthor{author_key}? I just checked that, and it looks like that is fine (now added to my include example at the beginning. Thanks! – ryanjdillon Sep 24 '13 at 11:14{\O}etc. – Andrew Swann Sep 24 '13 at 11:21}. – Andrew Swann Sep 24 '13 at 11:23}was just copy-paste problem. I'm guessing that Andrew is onto something here. I'll report once I verify that. – ryanjdillon Sep 24 '13 at 11:34
