[Tex/LaTex] how to create numeric-style instead of authoryear-style citation call-outs

bibliographiesbibtexcitingnatbib

When I write the citations, I get the name of the author and the year, like this "[Alagarasi(2011)]", but I want the citation call-out to be numeric, say, "[2]".

\documentclass[10pt,‌​twoside,openright]{re‌​port} 
    \usepackage[phd]{edmaths}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{float}
    \usepackage[rightcaption]{sidecap}


    \bibliographystyle{apsrev}
    \bibliography{reference}


    \end{document}

Best Answer

It appears that the apsrev bibliography style was created with the makebst utility, which was written by the author of the natbib citation management package. Hence, adding the instruction

\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}

to the preamble will give you numeric style citation call-outs.
