BibTeX and [authorname,year] type bibliography citation

[ozgurasl]

Hello everybody,

I have already written my problem in another forums but I could not find an answer since now...

Because my German is not able to handle for discussing my problem, I write in English sorry about that but I believe that many of you are able to understand and reply.

I use book as the documentclass and I prepared the bibliography file for Bİbtex as

@BOOK{,
AUTHOR = {},
editor = {},
TITLE = {},
PUBLISHER = {},
YEAR = {},
}

When I use alpha type of bibliography citation it works fine but I want to cite in the text such as [Authorname,1990].

I used the change the \bibliographystyle{alpha} to \bibliographystyle{authordate1} but it did not work.

I also tried using \usepackage{authordate1-4} then \bibliographystyle{authordate1}
but the editor Winedt 6.0 asks me about the .sty filename.

where can i find a working package and where to copy the package?

I would be so glad if somebody could help me

Prost!

Hi,

you can use the package biblatex. The package provides the key options citestyle and bibstyle.
