I am new to LaTeX, so maybe it is the stupid question, but I am still unable to figure it out.

I use the natbib package:

\usepackage{natbib}
\setcitestyle{authoryear,open={(},close={)}}

In the main text I'd like to cite two citations as parts of a single key with prefix attached to the second one. Example:

(see Smith 1999; cf. Doe 1998).

So I used

\citep[see]{smith1999, doe1998}

to add the first citation signal. But how to add the cf. citation signal before the second one?

    You can't do that directly with \citep. You'll need something like \citetext{\citealp[see][Chap.~3]{smith1999}; \citealp[cf.][]{doe1998}}. See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/488092/35864. – moewe Jun 19 '20 at 07:14
  • If you are new to LaTeX, then you shouldn't start with natbib. Have a look at biblatex it is the "state of the art" ... – user187802 Jun 19 '20 at 07:20
