Hi,
We have a user here who needs an unusual (and ugly) bibtex style file.
The style is similar to apalike except that instead of "(Jones, 1986)"
it should be "Jones (1986)". Does anyone know of such a style file?
Please respond via E-mail
Thanks,
Cynthia E Rodriguez

Does anyone know of such a style file? Are you sure about this? In my field we do something sort of like this, but we would say . . . according to Jones (1986), bla de bla de bla. As Smith (1987, 1992) has noted, deedle dee dee. However, in Jones 1986 it was proposed that dum de dum dum. Furthermore, it has even been claimed that oo poppa doo wah (Brown 1991, 1992a). If it were just "Jones (1986)" in cites the last line would read claimed that oo poppa doo wah Brown (1991, 1992a). which is beyond ugliness. Are you sure your user understands the style guidelines correctly?

Does anyone know of such a style file? Unless I've missed the point, you are talking about in-text cites. If so, and if apalike otherwise meets the requirements you are looking for, I think all you need to do is copy the apalike.sty (.sty not .bst) to another file (say, mytemp.sty) and change the line (line 26 in my copy) which reads: \def\@cite#1#2{(#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi)} to \def\@cite#1#2{#1\if@tempswa (#2) \fi} then instead of \documentstyle[...,apalike,...]{article} (or report) use \documentstyle[...,mytemp,...]{article} As usual, I am probably demonstrating my ignorance, but this change worked for me when I tested it.
