Currently, I am using

\bibliography{mybib.bib}
\bibliographystyle{uclathes}

to generate my bibliography. However, I want my citations to be in author-year format, and I also want to have separate bibliographies for each chapter of my thesis. How might I do this? Thanks!

Neither of these questions are really specific to uclathes, but both have solutions in standard LaTeX/BibTeX as add-on packages--google should make them obvious.

Thanks for your reply. I used

\bibliographystyle{apa-like}

to get citations in author-year style. I imagine there are other inputs that will give different citation styles. For now, I will use one bibliography for the whole thesis. If I find a solution, I will post it here - maybe this thread will be useful for future users.

For APA style citations, I used:

\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\def\newblock{\ }
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

natbib gives you the option to use in-text citations (via \citet{}), which is very common in my discipline.
