I'm not sure how to get my bibliography and citation call-outs to be generated a certain way. I'm using an elsarticle (Elseiver) template with BibTex and TexStudio. For one thing, my first citation shows up as [2]. What I want is an APA format, i.e.) (Jones et al., 2010).

Here's my setup:

\documentclass[preprint,12pt]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\journal{NeuroImage}
\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\begin{frontmatter}
\title{TITLE}
.....
\bibliography{biblio}
\end{document}

What am I missing?? And thank you in advance.

  • plainnat is a numerical style, try apalike. But i think Elsevier uses Vancouver referencing only in its journals. – Johannes_B Oct 26 '17 at 03:06
  • @Johannes_B - Not quite. First off, plainnat can produce both authoryear-style and numeric-style citation call-outs, depending on which option ia passed to the natbib package. Second, because the elsarticle document class loads natbib automatically, it's essential to state the option authoryear in the \documentclass directive. (That, or run a \setcitestyle{authoryear} directive later on somewhere in the preamble...). – Mico Oct 26 '17 at 03:48
