[vox-tech] BibTex related question

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi,

Just started using bibtex to help with the organization of citations in 
papers and the like... i am currently using the bibtex style called 
"named" with the command:

\bibliographystyle{named}

... as suggested on this website:
http://netra.wustl.edu/links/latex/latex.html

my intent was to get citations that look like (author, year) ... the 
"named" style was the closest that I could get, however the citations 
end up looking like [author, year] ...

any ideas on how to get the more traditional (author, year) style?

thanks!

PS: for anyone using macos X there is a great application called 
"Bibdesk" which can help manage your .bib file. Anyone know of a 
similar tool for Linux?
