I am usually using a combination of BibTeX and hyperref to create clickable citations, so a reader can easily jump from my text to the right place in my bibliography. Unfortunately there is no quick way to jump back: you have to manually find the place in the text where you paused your reading. Therefore I would like my reference list to contain hyperlinks to the location(s) in the text where I actually use the references.

Ideally this would work like it does in Wikipedia articles, e.g. here, so there is a little clickable ^ if a citation is used once, and ^ a, b, ... if there are more 'calls' to a certain bibitem.

Is there a feature (or a package) that provides this functionality?

I can think of a way to implement this assuming all citations are used only once, but that's not the case in practice.

    \usepackage[backref]{hyperref} should work... –  Sep 28 '17 at 09:23

  • I use the shortcut of my pdf viewer to go back (alt+left in adobe and sumatra). I wouldn't have much use of backref numbers as I normally don't remember the page number where I was. – Ulrike Fischer Sep 28 '17 at 13:01
  • Hmm, that would also work. I wasn't aware of this shortcut (and apparently, neither were the people who complained about this while reading my docs). – Bor Oct 02 '17 at 07:25
