Latex citation question

Question

Is it possible to cite something in Latex so that the end result is (e.g. Author, 200X)? At the moment I use (e.g. \citep{Author200X})

but I was wondering if there was a better strategy. I'm using TeXshop, and natbib.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Try \citep[e.g.][]{Author200X}

Have a look at http://merkel.zoneo.net/Latex/natbib.php.
