back-referencingbibliographiesformattinghyperref
I'm using the backref=pages extension of the hyperref package, as I'd like to have a list of back-reference pages after my bibliographic items. Is there a way to enclose these page numbers in brackets like "[2]" instead of just having the number (without enclosure)?
For example, I'd like for a bibitem to appear as
[1] Witten, E., The Theory of Everything, Any Journal, Volume, Pages
(Year) [pg. 1], [pg. 2]
The problem is that acl2012.sty redefines the internal command \@lbibitem in a way that hyperref is not aware of one. As a result, when hyperref is used, what gets printed is the key of the citation.
One work around is as follows. The hyperref redefinition uses a command \@BIBLABEL which is by standard set to the default \@biblabel via a \providecommand*. This is convenient, since \providecommand* will only make the definition provide the command is not already defined. Thus what we can do is define \@BIBLABEL before hyperref is loaded, to produce an empty text. This is achieved by:
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\@BIBLABEL}{\@emptybiblabel}
\newcommand{\@emptybiblabel}[1]{}
\makeatother
\usepackage{hyperref}
i.e. we set \@BIBLABEL to a command \@emptybiblabel, which in turn just ignores its argument. This code is enclosed between \makeatletter / \makeatother because of the symbol @ in the command names.
Putting this together in a cut-down version of the acl2012.tex sample document gives:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{acl2012}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{url}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\@BIBLABEL}{\@emptybiblabel}
\newcommand{\@emptybiblabel}[1]{}
\makeatother
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
{\bf Citations}: Citations within the text appear
in parentheses as~\cite{Gusfield:97} or, if the author's name appears in
the text itself, as Gusfield~\shortcite{Gusfield:97}. Append lowercase letters to the year in cases of ambiguities. Treat double authors as in~\cite{Aho:72}, but write as in~\cite{Chandra:81} when more than two authors are involved. Collapse multiple citations as in~\cite{Gusfield:97,Aho:72}.

In the pdf the links from the citations still lead to the corresponding citations.
Here it is. Note that biblatex allows to emulate natbib commands. In particular, in this mode you can always write \citep but actually it is translated into biblatex's command \parencite.
More importantly, the syntax is slighly different: `\bibliography{name_of_the_bibfile} in the body of the document is replaced with:
\addbibresource{name_of_the_bibfile.bib} in the preamble
\printbibliography in the body of the document

The command responsible for typesetting the back references is
\backrefxxx, sowill do. This will make all of "backref page #" a link. If you want only the page number to be a link, do
Other variations are possible.
