I have the bib file mybib.bib

@article{art1,
author = {Foster, Joe and Burton, Nathan and Cook, Andrew},
journal = {Journal 1},
pages = {1-10},
title = {{Title 1}},
volume = {1},
year = {2018}
}

Using \citet{art1} I get Foster et al. (2018), as desired. I would like the formatted reference in the bibliography to start with (Foster et al. (2018)), i.e.,

(Foster et al. (2018)) Joe Foster, Nathan Burton, and Andrew Cook. Title 1. Journal 1, 1:1-10, 2018.

I have tried using the natbib package in combination with apalike (starts with all authors, not the abbreviated version with et al. as in the in-text citation call-out) and plainnat (gives the desired format, but is lacking the first part).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[authoryear,round]{natbib}
\begin{document}    
Citation 1: \citet{art1}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}

Could somebody help me?

    Just out of idle curiosity: Why would you wish to clutter up the bibliography in this manner? If your readers really need this type of help, i.e., if they can't be trusted to figure out on their own how to associate a citation call-out of the form Foster et al. (2018) with an entry that starts with Joe Foster, Nathan Burton, and Andrew Cook...., they must be in deep, deep trouble... – Mico May 16 '18 at 20:50
  • @Mico It is indeed intended to make it easier to find the right reference in the bibliography. Especially for references with the same (first) author(s) and same year. e.g, Foster et al. (2018a) and because the bibliography includes the first names, so it starts with Joe rather than Foster. –  May 17 '18 at 05:51
  • I'm pretty sure that achieving your formatting objective with BibTeX and natbib will require a major hack of whichever bibliography style file is in use. It's probably easier to achieve your formatting objective with biblatex; I'm not a biblatex expert, I'm afraid, but maybe somebody else can offer some biblatex help. – Mico May 17 '18 at 06:06
  • I've taken the liberty of editing the title and body of your query a bit, to help readers spot the objective more rapidly. Feel free to revert if you disagree. – Mico May 17 '18 at 06:12
  • Replacing natbib with biblatex would be an option for me, but I do not know how to solve it biblatex either –  May 17 '18 at 09:25
