The user seeks to display author names in the format "Last Name, First Initial" for citations, specifically wanting "Emanuel, K. A." or "Emanuel, Kerry A." instead of "Kerry A. Emanuel." Despite using the appropriate bibliographic style and commands, the user encounters issues with in-text citations appearing as empty parentheses. Suggestions for resolving the formatting issue and ensuring proper citation display are sought.

Bibtex: formating help!

In my references, I want:

Emanuel, Kerry A. The dependence of hurricane intensity on climate. Nature, 326:483–485, 1987. <GOOD!

Emanuel, K. A. The dependence of hurricane intensity on climate. Nature, 326:483–485, 1987. <OR THIS, I WANT!

Basically, I just want the last name to be first. But I get:

Kerry A. Emanuel. The dependence of hurricane intensity on climate. Nature, 326:483–485, 1987. <BAD.

I'm using natbib. Help.
