I am looking to use the "Chicago" referencing style because it has been requested by my supervisor.

I have implemented that but I want it to display the in-text citation in parentheses with the year and a superscript.

At the moment the output is as follows for a citation:

Daly et al. [1] 
Fadhila [2] ...

What I want it to display is

(Daly et al, 2006)^(superscript 1) 
(Fadhila, 2005)^{2}

and in the reference list, it should also display the numbers as it already does that.

Below is the code I have in my main file where I just \input the chapter files as I go.

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, twoside]{report} 
\usepackage[english]{babel} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[sectionbib, square, numbers, sort]{natbib} 
\usepackage{chapterbib}

These commands are placed in the chapter files because I want the references to be displayed per chapter.

I know an MWE would help, but I am not familiar enough with how to do it.

\bibliographystyle{chicago} 
\bibliography{References/References.bib}

Any help is appreciated

    The BibTeX chicago bibliography style is really old and implements the formatting guidelines of the 13th edition of the "Chicago Manual of Style". Importantly, "Chicago" is currently on the 17th [!] edition. Are you sure that adopting the obsolete 13th edition is going to cut it with your supervisor and your university? If not, you should probably switch from natbib/bibtex to biblatex/biber, especially as there is an up-to-date "Chicago" style for biblatex. – Mico Apr 25 '21 at 14:51
  • @Mico Thanks for the response. I suppose it would not be a train smash if I chose a different style, as long as it is consistent and I get that citation style that I am looking for with the parentheses, year and superscript number. – Jitish Mudgal Apr 25 '21 at 21:05
  • @Mico I found this thread natbib where you basically solved the problem with your \citeAYp command, it displays author name and year in parentheses. How would you add the superscript number to the in-text citation in this case? That is all that remains in my question. – Jitish Mudgal Apr 26 '21 at 09:53

If the natbib citation management package is loaded with the options super and round, superscript-type citation call-outs will be generated by \cite, with the raised numbers surrounded by parentheses. The low-level commands \citeauthor and \citeyear are available as well. Thus, your preferred citation call-out form may be generate with the following code:

\usepackage[super,round]{natbib}
\newcommand\citeAYS[1]{(\citeauthor{#1}, \citeyear{#1})~\cite{#1}}

A full MWE:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{mybib.bib}
@misc{smith,
    author  = {Smith, Jane},
    title   = {Thoughts},
    year    = {2000},
}
\end{filecontents}

\bibliographystyle{chicago} % or some other suitable bib style
\usepackage[super,round]{natbib}
\newcommand\citeAYS[1]{(\citeauthor{#1}, \citeyear{#1})~\cite{#1}}


\begin{document}
\citeAYS{smith}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}
