[Tex/LaTex] (Author, year, abbr. journal name) as citation style

beamerbibtexnatbib

I'm using bibtex and natbib in beamer (by defining the newblock command). I would like to have citations in the slides in the format (Author, year, abbr. journal name) instead of just (Author, year), without resorting to using \citep[abbr. journal name]{Authoryear}.

An example:

(Campbell and Cochrane, 1999, JPE) instead of the regular (Campbell
and Cochrane, 1999).

I use abbreviations in the bibtex file (@STRING{JPE = "Journal of Political Economy"}).

Does anyone here know whether this is possible?

If you are willing to switch from BibTeX/natbib to BibLaTeX for your presentations, then this can be done pretty easily. In BibLaTex you need to define a new cite command:

\DeclareCiteCommand{\longcite}{}{%
    \printnames[author]{author}, \printfield{year}, \printfield{journaltitle}}{;}{}%

[Tex/LaTex] Natbib \citet style: move optional argument outside bracket

With etoolbox you can patch the command natbib uses to set all non-numeric citation labels: \NAT@citex. The postnote is passed to \NAT@citex as the second argument (#2). For \citet and its variants \ifNAT@swa will expand <false>, \ifNAT@par expands <true> and \NAT@date is defined.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\NAT@citex}
  {\ifNAT@swa\else\if*#2*\else\NAT@cmt#2\fi
   \if\relax\NAT@date\relax\else\NAT@@close\fi\fi}
  {\ifNAT@swa\else\if*#2*\else\ifNAT@par\else\NAT@cmt#2\fi\fi
   \if\relax\NAT@date\relax\else\NAT@@close%
   \if*#2*\else\ifNAT@par\NAT@cmt#2\fi\fi\fi\fi}{}{}
\makeatother

[Tex/LaTex] (Autor, year) reference as well as citation style

Since it looks like you're using the document class elsarticle (which, as you've discovered, already loads the natbib package), you may want to execute the following command:

\biboptions{square,sort,comma,numbers}

This method is described in more detail on pages 2 and 3 of the user guide of the elsarticle package.

The elsarticle package comes with three separate bibliography style files: elsarticle-num.bst, elsarticle-num-names.bst, and elsarticle-harv.bst. The first or second of these should give you the formatting you require. (elsarticle-harv, in contrast, is meant for authoryear-style citation callouts, which doesn't seem to be what you want.)

Note that if authoryear was meant to be one of the options passed to natbib, one would have to specify it as an option to the document class:

\documentclass[authoryear{,<other options>}]{elsarticle}
