Using natbib, for a single citation with page number and the text see e.g. I do

\citep[see e.g.][p.394]{efron1993ib}

and it generates

(see e.g. Efron and Tibshirani, 1993, p.394)

but I am unable to do the same for the multiple citation with page numbers and the text see e.g. like

(see e.g. Efron and Tibshirani, 1993, p.107; Chernick, 1999, p.84)

satsuma: In my own thesis class I have to following to cite two sources with pages:

% Double page citation \newcommand{\citedouble}[4]{% (\citealp[#1]{#2}; \citealp[#3]{#4})% }

I had to spend an hour with Google to find this one trivial command:
\nocite{key}
which puts a citation in your \bibliography, without showing up in the actual text (good for abstracts)

Thanks for your website, it’s very informative.

I needed to download hypernat.sty and use
\usepackage{hypernat}
to get the “sort&compress” to work.

Apparently there is a conflict between hyperref and natbib, which is solved by using hypernat.

Happy TeX’ing

The problem with \citenum problem is that the version of natbib that came with LaTex is an old version from 2003. The new one I downloaded is from 2007.

For some reason in my environment the natbib didn’t seem to have a command \citenum. All I got was an undefined control sequence error. But when I downloaded the natbib.sty and included in the directory where my tex files are, it is working.

Thanks for sharing that work-around.

Hi!

You are right, natbib cannot do it. But you can define your own citation-command as a work-around:

\newcommand{\mycite}[4]{[\citenum{#1}, #2; \citenum{#3}, #4]}

And now you can have multiple citations with page numbers as follows:

\mycite{bla91}{p. 15}{bla99}{p. 181}
