I'm looking to specify my own custom bibliographic punctuation stylings in a report I'm writing on the LaTeX platform on Overleaf.
However, I'm receiving a few issues. I'll outline all the key lines in my main.tex
file:
\usepackage{natbib}
\TOCadd{Bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
\bibliography{bibliography}
I'm also using '\citep{...}
' as outlined in the Natbib section here: LaTeX/Bibliography Management: Natbib. However, a quick screenshot of my inline references:
I'd like my references to be:
(Massey et al., 1995; Humphreys et al., 2014)
I'm also seeing 'and' and not '&':
But I'd like this to be:
Robitaille & Whitney 2010
If anyone is able to help me on these two issues I would be very appreciative. I just can't see where I have gone wrong.

Moving
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
to before\begin{document}
will clinch things for the brackets. Instead of\bibpunct
, you can also use the newer command\setcitestyle
to change to round brackets:\setcitestyle{round}
To change
and
to&
though, you'll have to upload a modified copy ofplainnat.bst
. Or switch to a bibliography style that uses&
e.g.agsm
, then add\setcitestyle{semicolon}
to get;
separating the citations.In summary: it seem to me the following would give what you want:
