BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Natbib and apsrev - author list without the word "and"

[rollotomasi]

Hi could anyone advise me how to create references without the word "and" as the last separator, using Natbib with the apsrev bibliographystyle

I.e.: currently

Code: Select all

\usepackage[square,comma,numbers,sort&compress]{natbib} 
\bibliographystyle{apsrev}

gives the following
A. N. Author1, A. N. Author2, and A. N. Author3, Journal of Something 94, 195 (1994).

What I would like is
A. N. Author1, A. N. Author2, A. N. Author3, Journal of Something 94, 195 (1994).

Many thanks

The short answer is, "You can't" (since the "and" is part of the "standard" style apsrev.bst). However, you can create your own BST file that's the same as apsrev.bst except for one or two lines, let's call it "apsrev-noand.bst" so no one gets confused.

Look for a line in apsrev.bst under the format.names function that reads "bbl.and"; either delete this line or (better yet) comment it out. This will get rid of the "and" in author lists.
