wanting to use apa citation format #4

Open vmkhot opened 11 months ago

Hi there,

Super new to latex, sorry in advance for the newbie question.

I'm wanting to use APA citation format - what modifications do I need to make to the .cls file and my main.tex to do this? I know I need to use apacite somewhere.

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Varada

Nothing in the .cls file; changing bibliography stiles is all done in the main document. There seems to be lots of different ways to do it, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/263793/what-is-the-relationship-between-natbib-apacite-package-and-apa-document-class

I suspect all you have to do is change

\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

to 

\usepackage{apacite}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}

to use the apacite package (https://ctan.org/pkg/apacite) instead of natbib to do citations & bibliography.
