Long citation format

[Matan]

Hi, thanks for this fantastic tool.
This is not a bug report but a question. When I cite papers with multiple authors, the reference in the text with appears with all authors, not jus the first ones. How can I change that?

e.g., I have this reference in my bib file:

@Article{christensen2006fmri,
title={An fMRI study of the neural correlates of graded visual perception},
author={Christensen, Mark S and Rams{\o}y, Thomas Z and Lund, Torben E and Madsen, Kristoffer H and Rowe, James B},
journal={Neuroimage},
volume={31},
number={4},
pages={1711--1725},
year={2006},
publisher={Elsevier}
}

And this in my Rmd:

in a study by @christensen2006fmri ...

In the output, I'm getting

in a study by Christensen, Ramsøy, Lund, Madsen, & Rowe (2006)

But I would prefer it to be Christensen et al. (2006) or Christensen and colleagues (2006).

Thanks!

Hi there. Is this link helpful to you? https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/natbib_citation_styles

[Matan]

Thanks! Where would I include the '\setcitestyle' command?

[Dr. Chester Ismay]

You can try to add LaTeX directly into the Rmd files if you are building a PDF.

Cool! When I'm adding it to index.Rmd I'm getting

! Undefined control sequence.
l.218 \setcitestyle
{authoryear,open={((},close={))}}

Should I include it in a specific place?

Also, is there a similar solution for rendering a gitbook?

cheers

[Dr. Chester Ismay]

You might want to try adding it to template.tex. I'm not aware of something similar for gitbook but playing around with references is really beyond my knowledge. You might have better luck on RStudio Community or Stack Overflow?

[Matan]

Cool, I'll try that, thanks!!!
