Harvard BibTex

Post by teotjunk »

I am currently using the harvard style of referencing. However in the bibliography page, it currently prints the first name first followed by the last name. How do I change it around ? Also it currents print et al when there are more than two authors, which I don't want. How do change it ? Thanks

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

You can create your own bibliography style by typing 'latex makebst' and answering the questions that follow.

If you are only making minor changes, you can copy the harvard.bst file and edit it, but this requires some BibTeX know-how.

Have you looked at the natbib package? From your post I assume you are using the harvard package with bibtex. Natbib offers the features you seem to be asking for. The harvard style file despite it's name cannot do what you are asking it to do. \usepackage natbib and citation styles would seem to fit the result you are looking for.
