+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label mcite</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Multiple citations</h3>
+<p>A convention sometimes used in physics journals is to "collapse" a group of
+related citations into a single entry in the bibliography.  BibTeX,
+by default, can't cope with this arrangement, but the <i>mcite</i>
+package deals with the problem.
+<p>The package 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>
+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>
+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>Unfortunately, the <i>revtex</i> system doesn't play with
+<i>mcite</i>.  As a result, for that (primarily physics-targeted
+system) you need to play silly games like:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\cite{paper0,paper1,paper3}
+\nocite{paper2}
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+and then edit the <code>.bbl</code> file to merge the two citations, to
+achieve the effects of <i>mcite</i>.
