BibTeX, -by default, can’t cope with this arrangement, but the <i>mcite</i> -and <i>mciteplus</i> packages deal with the problem. -<p/><i>mcite</i> overloads the <code>\</code><code>cite</code> command to recognise a -“<code>*</code>” at the start of a key, so that citations of the form -<blockquote> -<pre> -\cite{paper1,*paper2} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -appear in the document as a single citation, and appear arranged -appropriately in the bibliography itself. You’re not limited to -collapsing just two references. You can mix “collapsed” references -with “ordinary” ones, as in -<blockquote> -<pre> -\cite{paper0,paper1,*paper2,paper3} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -Which will appear in the document as 3 citations “[4,7,11]” -(say) — citation ‘4’ will refer to paper 0, ‘7’ will refer to a -combined entry for paper 1 and paper 2, and ‘11’ will refer to -paper 3. -<p/>You need to make a small change to the bibliography style -(<code>.bst</code>) file you use; the <i>mcite</i> package -documentation tells you how to do that. -<p/>Most recent versions of <i>REVTeX</i> (version 4.1 and later), in -conjunction with recent versions of <i>natbib</i>, already contain -support for combined citations and so no longer even need -<i>mciteplus</i> (but <i>mciteplus</i> is more general and will -work with many other class and package combinations). -<p/>The <i>mciteplus</i> package adresses many of the infelicites of -<i>mcite</i>. Again, ‘ordinary’ <code>.bst</code> files will not -work with <i>mciteplus</i>, but the package documentation explains -how to patch an existing BibTeX style. -<p/>The <i>collref</i> package takes a rather different approach to the -problem, and will work with most (if not all) BibTeX packages. -<i>Collref</i> spots common subsets of the references, so if it -sees a sequence -<blockquote> -<pre> -\cite{paper0,paper1,paper2,paper3} -... -\cite{some_other_paper,paper1,paper2,and_another} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -it will collect <code>paper1</code> and <code>paper2</code> as a multiple reference. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>collref.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/collref.zip">macros/latex/contrib/collref</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/collref/">browse the directory</a>) -<dt><tt><i>mcite.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mcite.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mcite</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mcite/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/mcite.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>mciteplus.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mciteplus.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mciteplus</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mciteplus/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/mciteplus.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>natbib.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib.zip">macros/latex/contrib/natbib</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/natbib.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>revtex 4.1</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/revtex.zip">macros/latex/contrib/revtex</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/revtex/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/revtex4-1.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p><em>This answer last edited: 2010-07-07</em></p> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=mcite">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=mcite</a> -</body> |
