citingnatbib
I imported natbib properly:
\usepackage{natbib}
Now, when citing in the parenthetical style:
\citep[p. 12]{MyKey}
, where I am sure that my key exists and the author and year are set, in the pdf output it still shows
(1, p.12)
However, I would like to see
(Author Year, p.12)
Did I miss something?
Also, doing
\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}
doesn't help.
As I wrote in the comment biblatex offers a very user friendly solution.
The style authoryear accomplishes your request of ordering and style. To set a colon after the year you can redefine the separator \labelnamepunct:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber,maxcitenames=1]{biblatex}
\renewcommand*{\labelnamepunct}{\addcolon\space}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Example cite \cite{companion}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Don't overuse braces, and treat your BibTeX keys as data (don't mix months and years together), rather than formatted output. If you have a list of authors, separate each name with an and, and let BibTeX figure out how to split them.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article {MCOSW,
author = "Hugh Glaser and Afraz Jafri and Ian Millard",
title = "Managing co-reference on the semantic web",
journal = "WWW2009 Workshop: Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2009)",
month = "April",
year = "2009",
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
I once read \citep{MCOSW}.
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
Notice that BibTeX:

Sorry, but I already solved it. The solution is to use the right bibliographystyle, namely:
Now it works.
