I am having difficulties with my citations. I am using apsr.bst as my style and want my citations to appear in the following format:

lastname year
or
lastname & lastname year

without any parentheses or commas. Currently, every style I have tried (apa, chicago, apsr), shows up in the following format:

lastname (year)
or
lastname and lastname (year)

how would I be able to get this to appear without the ()'s?

Thanks.

Are you declaring your bibliography like this?

\bibliographystyle{achemso}
\bibliography{masterBib}

Also, have you tried placing your apsr.bst in your folder with your paper?

Finally, I found that I had to compile in the following order:
1) Latex
2) Bibtex
3) Latex
4) Latex

Have you tried/are you doing those things?
