\section{Examples of citations, figures, tables, references}
\label{sec:others}
\subsection{Citations}
Citations use \verb+natbib+. The documentation may be found at
\begin{center}
\url{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natnotes.pdf}
\end{center}
Here is an example usage of the two main commands (\verb+citet+ and \verb+citep+): Some people thought a thing \citep{kour2014real, hadash2018estimate} but other people thought something else \citep{kour2014fast}. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why \citet{kour2014fast} thought this\dots
\subsection{Figures}

See Figure \ref{fig:fig1}. Here is how you add footnotes. \footnote{Sample of the first footnote.}

\subsection{Tables}
See awesome Table~\ref{tab:table}.
The documentation for \verb+booktabs+ (`Publication quality tables in LaTeX') is available from:
