Typesetting "et al" in italics with natbib

It looks I'm dealing with an entient problem here but I seem not to find a solution. I'm using Jabref and LaTex(natbib) and I want my reference to appear like this in the text: Peter et al.(2023) i.e, with an italic et al. #Italic "et al".

I've tried everything, this is potentially my last hope.

Solution

  • Even if not supported by default, you can customize the bibliography style file

    Modify appropriately the .bst file to ensure

    \emph{et al.}

    Here is a fully working example on GitHub which you can fork and test under your Overleaf account.
