Use hyperref package.

Here is a simple example how to use it:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

Just \hyperlink{label1}{Click me!}. In the paper \cite{Test00}...

\pagebreak

\hypertarget{label1}{I'm target}

\pagebreak

\begin{thebibliography}{99}

\bibitem{Test00} T. Test, \emph{Test testing tests}, Journal of Testing

\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}

Thanks Grzegorz. I was using bibunits and hyperref for my dissertation. Hyperlinks for figures, tables and sections were working fine, but had problems with multiple citations ([1,2,3,4,5]). For multiple citations, hyperref always link it to the first page of the document.

Then I switched from bibunits to chapterbib, and natbib, and everything seems to work fine.

Use this code 

\usepackage[

pdfauthor={derajan},

pdftitle={How to do this},

pdfstartview=XYZ,

bookmarks=true,

colorlinks=true,

linkcolor=blue,

urlcolor=blue,

citecolor=blue,

pdftex,

bookmarks=true,

linktocpage=true, % makes the page number as hyperlink in table of content

hyperindex=true

]{hyperref}

\usepackage{hyperref}

%\usepackage{natbib}

\urlstyle{rm}

\usepackage[all]{hypcap}

\hypersetup{

backref=true

bookmarksnumbered,

pdfstartview={FitH},

citecolor={blue},

linkcolor={blue},

urlcolor={black},

pdfpagemode={UseOutlines}

}

\usepackage{hyperref} is a good package to use, 

when referencing the link use \url{} in the .tex text,

or if you want to decrease the link text size {\tiny\url{} }

you can also use \footnotesize or \huge etc to decrease or increase the link text size in the .pdf document.

Technical Report Step-by-Step Procedure to Cite References from Mendeley and ...

May be an old answer, but I would simply use this one line, it highlights all citation references (only the year appears in red and highlighted, which gives a fine result):

\usepackage[colorlinks,citecolor=red,urlcolor=blue,bookmarks=false,hypertexnames=true]{hyperref} 

Just using the hyperref package, I am able to create citations to references with a hyperlink

\usepackage{hyperref}

Stepwise:

1 step: In the List of References create an item for each citation, for example: \bibitem{DiCarlo04} Di Carlo G.\index[people]{Di Carlo G.} 2004. \emph{The natural recolonisation process of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile after the introduction of the Italo-Algerian methane pipeline in the SW Mediterranean sea}.\pageref{DiCarlo04}

2 step: in the text when this particular author is cited you simply give a link, like this: \cite{DiCarlo04}\label{DiCarlo04}

For more details just have a look how I did it at my LaTeX template:

Code LaTeX template for the MSc thesis

\usepackage[pagebackref=true]{hyperref}

does it automatically. It will give those nice links at the end of each reference, back to the pages where you first inserted them. See also: https://www.sixhat.net/latex-tip-back-references-in-bibliography.html

Hello all,

Please how can i put this style of citation (as attached) in a multiple referencing like [8-53] still upwards. I have tried \usepackage{cite} and it did not work. Please i need help. Thanks

Thank you Alexandre Loures for the reply.

Warm regards.

Dear all,

you can use a simple reserve word "hyperref" as in

\usepackage {hyperref}

It is a lot easier if you use....

\usepackage {hyperref}

Thank you

Chigozie Louisa J. Ugwu

use this one, it works for me

\usepackage[pagebackref=true]{hyperref}

Here's what I recommend, with fancy hyperlink coloring included:

-----------------------------------------

\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

\usepackage{xcolor}

\definecolor{hyperlink}{rgb}{0,0,93.3}

-----------------------------------------

\href{URL GOES HERE}{\textcolor{hyperlink}{DISPLAYED TEXT GOES HERE}}

Please do refer the following links

2. https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Hyperlinks

3. https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10639

\usepackage{hyperref}

Place this at the end of all the packages. It works. Once you click on any citation it will navigate to the end to a particular reference in your manuscript. Thank you.

It seems that the link is only added to the year when I use the author-year format in the article. How can I make the "author-year" have a complete link?

You can check the following:

- Use the hyperref package at the end of all packages in the document with the code \usepackage {hyperref}

- Double-check that this is not the case \documentclass [draft, ...] {...}

- Update template from the magazine

\usepackage{hyperref} \hypersetup{ colorlinks=true, linkcolor=blue, filecolor=magenta, urlcolor=cyan, pdftitle={Overleaf Example}, pdfpagemode=FullScreen, }

just add

\usepackage{hyperref}

under the \documentclass command
