I need to cite in this format (Smith A., 2018) … help?












0















I'm new to latex. I have already grasped the basics and I have already started working my thesis on it. It is a very nice program to work with. However, I am having a difficulty. I am unable to cite in the style which I'm looking for. I have looked around and researched. there are tons of info out there, so much that it becomes very confusing. Biber, biblatex, natbib and whatever else... can easily get lost in the process. In the end, I'm still unable to cite in the style I need.



I need the cite in as in this example:



1. blabla bla bla (Smith A., 2018)

2. Smith A. (2018) has said blabla blabla


The nearest I'm getting with biblatex and natbib is: (Smith 2018)



I need the first letter of the first name after the surname and a comma before the year. In brackets.



Your comments are always helpful. Thank you in advance.
