MWE output

MWE

\documentclass[review, sort&compress, 12pt]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num}
\citeauthor{bailey1997quest} \cite{bailey1997quest}
\pagebreak
\section*{References}
\bibliography{References}
\end{document}

How to get citation style in this format with elsarticle? I also need the references to be listed in the order they are cited in the main text

Answer 1

You should be using the elsarticle-num-names bibliography style instead of elsarticle-num. Moreover, to generate a citation call-out of the form "Bailey et al [num]", where the number "num" is a hyperlink, you should use \citet, not \citeauthor or \cite.

A full MWE -- observe how the outputs of \citet, \citeauthor, and \cite differ:

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{References.bib}
@misc{bailey1997quest,
  author = "Bailey, John and Daily, Gail and Malley, Micah",
  title  = "Thoughts",
  year   = 1997,
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass[review,12pt,sort&compress]{elsarticle}
\usepackage[colorlinks,citecolor=blue]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num-names}
\citet{bailey1997quest}

\citeauthor{bailey1997quest}

\cite{bailey1997quest}

\section*{References}
\bibliography{References}
\end{document}
