BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ bibliographystyle plainnat without url

[wandasia]

Hi,

I use Jabref to get the bibtex entrys for my bibliography. There is only one problem.

I don't know and I couldn't find how to hide the url/doi in the bibliography.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I need the same thing except for natbib.

Now, I'm no specialist in this matter but I think there are two ways:
1. just delete doi and ulr from your bibliography database
2. copy plainnat.bst file (it's in \bibtex\bst\natbib) to your projects folder and rename it (let's say notplainnat.bst). *.bst files are bibliography style files, so inside are hidden informations on how your bibliography is going to look like.
Open your renamed file (notplainnat.bst) in text editor (notepad, vim whatever) and find (it's somewhere at the end)

Code: Select all

FUNCTION {book}
{ output.bibitem
  author empty$
    { format.editors "author and editor" output.check
      editor format.key output
    }
    { format.authors output.nonnull
      crossref missing$
        { "author and editor" editor either.or.check }
        'skip$
      if$
    }
  if$
  new.block
  format.btitle "title" output.check
  crossref missing$
    { format.bvolume output
      new.block
      format.number.series output
      new.sentence
      publisher "publisher" output.check
      address output
    }
    { new.block
      format.book.crossref output.nonnull
    }
  if$
  format.edition output
  format.date "year" output.check
  format.isbn output
  format.doi output
  format.url output
  new.block
  note output
  fin.entry
}

That's a sample Function that tells how to handle Book type references. You can see two lines at the bottom:

Code: Select all

format.doi output

and

Code: Select all

format.url output

. Remove them and try running your document at least two times.
Do the same for other reference types that you use (Inbook, article whatever).

There is a third option - making your own custuom bst style with

Code: Select all

latex makebst

from the command line. It looks pretty scary when you do it for the first time, but you can get used to it.

Cheers!

Hey there!

I had to do it differently then and didn't have to write longer texts for a while. That's why my response is a bit late.

ad 1. The point is that I have my references in JabRef and want to keep the urls etc. in the bib file.

ad 2. Thanks for the hint, it does what I wanted!
