BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ natbib, pages in references

[mclaine]

Hi everybody,

I started to use bibtex to organize the references in my dissertation today.

I really like the standard natbib style that looks a little like this:

A. Alesina, ... Journal of Public Economics ..., 2004. [7, 24]

BUT: Is there any way that the pages are NOT given at the end of the list entry? I'd like to see this:

A. Alesina, ... Journal of Public Economics ..., 2004.


Best regards,

Christian

Can you please post some relevant parts of your document? (Please post a little compilable sample code showing your document class, all the packages used that are relevant to the creation of the bibliography, the bibliographical style used, etc.)

Hi,

these are my settings:

\usepackage[sectionbib,round]{natbib}

\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

...


\citet{Akerlof1990}

.....


\bibliography{LiteraturDatenbank}

\end{document}

When requested to provide a compilable code sample, you should do this by means of a minimal working example (MWE) that is compilable as is and shows the described problem. Instructions how to build such a MWE are given on the linked web site.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi again,

and sorry for the inconvenience. I solved my problem by deleting the a package forgot to mention.

It would be very kind to post the solution. The stuff you provided here is not enough to get an idea of what went wrong.

I accidently used usepackage{citref} and feel really sorry for the convenience ...

However, I've got ANOTHER question:

I tested different styles today and except for one tiny detail 'kluwer' looks perfect.

My example code is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[sectionbib,round]{natbib}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{MNSymbol}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{kluwer}

\section{Introduction}\label{secintr}

\citet{Akerlof1990}, \citet{Card1994}

\bibliography{LiteraturDatenbank}

\end{document}

LiteraturDatenbank.bib:

Code: Select all

@ARTICLE{Akerlof1990,
  author = {Akerlof, G. A. and J. L. Yellen},
  title = {The Fair Wage-Effort Hypothesis and Unemployment},
  journal = {Quarterly Journal of Economics},
  year = {1990},
  volume = {105},
  pages = {255 - 283},
  number = {2},
  owner = {dst},
  timestamp = {2008.12.19}
}

@ARTICLE{Card1994,
  author = {Card, D. E. and A. B. Krueger},
  title = {Minimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast-Food Industry
	in New Jersey and Pennsylvania},
  journal = {American Economic Review},
  year = {1994},
  volume = {84},
  pages = {772 - 793},
  number = {4},
  owner = {dst},
  timestamp = {2008.12.19}
}

The resulting references look like this (with some bold and italic parts I really like):

-------------------------------
Akerlof, G. A. and Yellen, J. L.: 1990, The fair wage-eort hypothesis and
unemployment, Quarterly Journal of Economics 105(2), 255 - 283.

Card, D. E. and Krueger, A. B.: 1994, Minimum wages and employment:
A case study of the fast-food industry in new jersey and pennsylvania,
American Economic Review 84(4), 772 - 793.
-------------------------------

THE PROBLEM with this is: New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not starting with capital letters, although I used them in JapRef.

IS THERE ANY WAY to fix this problem? I'm fine with the fact that everything else is written in lowercases, but for New Jersey etc. it looks odd.

Hi,

use braces to enclose capitaliced letters that you want to preserve; i.e., use something like the following:

Code: Select all

...
title = {Minimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast-Food Industry
in {N}ew {J}ersey and {P}ennsylvania},
...
