[bibtex] How to change citation format?

Question

Hi all, I'm using Harvard citations in a paper. I use the following options:

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{}{;}
...
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{Comparison}

When I use \cite and \citep I get the following at the end of the pdf:

S.Shekhar and S.Chawla. Spatial databases: a tour. PrenticeHall, 2003.

Actually I'd like to get the usual Harvard format:

S.Shekhar and S.Chawla. (2003) Spatial databases: a tour. PrenticeHall

How can I fix the format?

Cheers!

Answer 1

Is this what you're looking for? Here is an example of how it could look.

Answer 2

Look up the \setcitestyle command to get round brackets:

\setcitestyle{round}

But in general, you need to get an appropriate style file instead of plainnat. The makebst program will generate you a BST style file for almost any specification.
