beamer title with \hfill

Question

I include citations in the titles of slides and I would like the citations to be right justified (fully) while the title itself is left justified. I used

<title-text> \hfill <\cite{}>

but this does not push the citation to make it right-justified; it simply moves the citation a bit to the right as shown in the following figure. Is there any way to make the citation right-justified?

Thanks.

Take a look at the last answer to this question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54180/how-do-i-write-something-at-the-end-of-the-slide-in-beamer where @Daniel uses \vskip0pt plus 1filll. Perhaps it will work for you if you change \vskip0pt to \hskip0pt and then use the entire bit instead of \hfill. (I haven't tried it.) — Michael S Taylor, Aug 23 '14 at 03:18
Thanks, it worked beautifully. I had searched but totally missed that answer. Just for completeness, here is my definition: \newcommand{\myhfill}{\hskip0pt plus 1filll} and \myhfill is used instead of \hfill in my original code. — ozsu, Aug 23 '14 at 11:00

Following the suggestion at How do I write something at the end of the slide in beamer? as suggested by 3cat I defined

\newcommand{\myhfill}{\hskip0pt plus 1filll}

and used \myhfill instead of \hfill and it works like a charm. Putting this as an answer since otherwise I cannot close the question.
