I'm using bibtex to handle my list of references, and occasionally I would like to add some text surrounding the reference itself. I use the "note" field to add text following the reference (e.g. "Bob Smith, and references therein."), but I don't know of a way to add text before the reference, as in "For a recent review, see Bob Smith..." If anyone knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciate knowing.

At the moment, I am using the "h-elsevier.bst" style from the arxiv (http://arxiv.org/hypertex/bibstyles/) in order to include arxiv eprint numbers, and am using natbib also. Thanks!
