With the elsarticle class, how can I achieve author-number citations?
This is what I need:
Smith and Dow [1] wrote
Using
\citep{SmithDow} wrote
only prints
[1] wrote
and
\citet{SmithDow} wrote
prints
(author?) [1] wrote
This journal does not use author-year style, so
Smith and Dow (2015) wrote
is not a solution.
I cannot change the options to natbib directly because elsarticle loads it automatically.
The elsarticle class loads natbib by default so you don't need to load natbib via \usepackage. By default it loads it with a numerical scheme, but the class option authoryear will change that. The matching bibliography style is then elsarticle-harv:
\documentclass[preprint,11pt,authoryear]{elsarticle}
\begin{document}
I once read \citep{wolf2009regional}.
\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-harv}
\bibliography{ML}
\end{document}
This problem occurs because elsarticle does not define a \doi macro that hyperref requires.
Hyperref calls \doi{\bibinfo{doi}{XXX}} to produce the URL for the DOI in the reference XXX. If the \doi macro is not defined, the resulting output will be something like \let\@tempa\bibinfo@X@doi{XXX}
As a workaround, you can define a \doi macro that solve the problem
\documentclass{elsarticle}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\makeatletter
\providecommand{\doi}[1]{%
\begingroup
\let\bibinfo\@secondoftwo
\urlstyle{rm}%
\href{http://dx.doi.org/#1}{%
doi:\discretionary{}{}{}%
\nolinkurl{#1}%
}%
\endgroup
}
\makeatother
