Use of \citet with bibliographystyle unsrt

Question

While I use \citet{Titterington} and I use \bibliographystyle{unsrt} which all websites say is supposed to produce a citation in the main body like Titterington[1], for me produces a citation in the main body that looks like (author?)[1].

Maybe this is an option How to emulate the traditional BibTeX styles (plain, abbrv, unsrt, alpha) as closely as possible with biblatex? — Marco Daniel, Apr 26 '13 at 05:51

replace

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

by

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

Found the solution from here:

I did follow ZYSTEEL's answer but my problem was that every \cite{smith90} produced a text citation

Smith et al 1990

in my paper. As I wanted a text citation only when calling \citet{smith90}, I found that declaring \usepackage[numbers]{natbib} solved the problem for me. It was suggested in Herbert's answer, but it wasn't clear enough in my opinion.

I suppose you are using natbib. Use \usepackage[numbers]{natbib}. If it doesn't help, create a complete example.

I think it should be \usepackage[numbers]{natbib}. – lum May 27 '15 at 13:57
