[Tex/LaTex] How to use [Author Year] like new ACM Style

acmbibtexciting

I'm use the TeX ACM Style in my thesis:

\bibliographystyle{acm}
\bibliography{Anderson_EQM}

And cite references using \cite{}, but it's different of the new ACM style:

[Number] instead [Author Year]

How can I use [Author Year] like ACM Style?

Thanks

Obs.: In ACM examples, the cite and reference styles are:

TYPICAL REFERENCES IN NEW ACM REFERENCE FORMAT

A paginated journal article [Abril and Plant 2007], an enumerated
journal article [Cohen et al. 2007], a reference to an entire issue
[Cohen 1996], a monograph (whole book) [Kosiur 2001], a
monograph/whole book in a series (see 2a in spec. document) [Harel
1979], a divisible-book such as an anthology or…

I believe you need to load the ACM-Reference-Format-Journals style to get citations and references in the form described in the excerpts you've posted. I.e., issue the command

\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format-Journals}

instead of \bibliographystyle{acm}. If you don't already have this style file, go to the ACM LaTeX Style Guide webpage and download and unpack any one of the three zip files for authors (v2-acmsmall.zip, v2-acmlarge.zip, v2-acmtog.zip), and then copy the .bst file to the directory that contains your TeX file(s).

To get authoryear-style citations, you should also load the natbib package.

Addendum Feb. 2017: The ACM LaTeX style guide webpage appear to have migrated to https://www.acm.org/publications/acm-latex-style-guide-3jan2017.

Addendum Apr. 2021: The ACM LaTeX style guide webpage has migrated yet again. It is currently available at ACM Primary Article Templates AND Publication Workflow. Note that there are separate templates, depending on whether your computer uses MacOS or Windows. (I have no idea what users of Linux, etc, might want to do.) The ACM's template files are now also available in an Overleaf depository.
