\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{natbib}
I am using the natbib package for citations in my report. However I encounter a problem in citing an unpublished paper.
@unpublished{unpublishedkey,
author = "Dummy, D1 D2",
title = "Title",
note = "unpublished"
}
When I use \citep{unpublishedkey}, I obtain
(Dummy, ????)
In the bibliography it shows,
Dummy, D.D. (????). Title. unpublished.
I try to add "unpublished" in the year field, but because of the truncation, it doesn't work properly:
@unpublished{unpublishedkey,
author = "Dummy, D1 D2",
title = "Title",
year = "unpublished"
note = "unpublished"
}
(Dummy, shed)
Dummy, D.D. (unpublished). Title
Isn't the year field optional in an unpublished bibtex entry, and how could I have the citation as the following instead?
(Dummy, unpublished)
Dummy, D.D. Title. unpublished.
Best Answer
You can assign a year, based on when you received the unpublished paper or use one of the following methods:
You can define
\ndd
any way you like.
