Writing in markdown and using bibtex for referencing. I am wondering if there is a CSL style (or another way to do it) that would show author-date when citing inline but numbers when adding a reference to a sentence. For exemple:
Bob et al. (2019) showed that blabla, but another study [2] also showed that blabla... (both references being in the bibliography).
Any thoughts? Is it bad practice? Should I write the "Bob et al." manually?
Thanks!
No, not possible in CSL, which does not make a distinction between narrative (Smith (1776) says) and regular (Smith 1776) citations, though different tools offer some options when working with author date styles. (e.g., when working in markdown using pandoc/citeproc for CSL, you can use @smith76 to create Smith (1776) and Smith says [-@smith76] for "Smith says (1776)".
When working with a numeric style as in your example, your only option, though, is to manually write the author. What you would want as output in any standard style, though, is not "Bob et al. (2019) showed" but "Bob et al. [1] showed"
