Hi,
I am trying to write a paper with Latex and am having some problems with BiBTex. I am citing in the style of the journal Geophysics, so I downloaded the proper .bst file. When I tried to use it I ended up with a little bit of a problem. My references look like this:
[Li and Santosa, 1996] Li, Y., and F. Santosa, 1996, A computational algorithm for minimizing total vari-
ation in image restoration: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING, 5, 987–995.
While I need them to look like this:
Li, Y., and F. Santosa, 1996, A computational algorithm for minimizing total vari-
ation in image restoration: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING, 5, 987–995.
I know the [names...] tag is what goes in the body of the paper, but is there any way to remove it from the start of my reference?
Help is much appreciated.

Re: Need help with BibTeX
Please post a minimal example of your input. There are lots of variables here, and we'll be guessing unless you tell us what you are doing.

Ok,
in the body of my article I have the bibliography stuff as:
\bibliographystyle{seg}
\bibliography{paper_ref}
where seg is a style file from a specific Journal, in my paper_ref file I have my reference as
@article{li_computational_1996,
title = {A computational algorithm for minimizing total variation in image restoration},
volume = {5},
issn = {1057-7149},
number = {6},
journal = {{IEEE} {TRANSACTIONS} {ON} {IMAGE} {PROCESSING}},
author = {{YY} Li and F Santosa},
month = jun,
year = {1996},
pages = {987--995}
},
when I cite this in my paper I used:
\cite{li_computational_1996}
I can't see where I can fix this, I got my .bib file from zotero and my .bst file from a Journal, so there's not much I actually did,
thanks
Lauren

Post a full minimal example, starting
and finishing
There are still lots of things you could be doing, package-wise.
Code: Select all
\documentclass{...}
Code: Select all

A minimal example is meant to be complete and compilable for everyone, thus a complete document. And the operative word is minimal [1]. This is important because others are rarely motivated to build one on their own for testing possible solutions.

Re: Need help with BibTeX
Here is what I am using:
\documentclass[reqno,11pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `dirname #1`/`basename #1 .tif`.png}
\begin{document}
\title{Image Restoration Using Total Variation Minimization}
\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
The most basic approach to noise removal is as a least squares problem. The least squares criteria is dependent on the L\( _2 \) norm.
\cite{li_computational_1996}
\bibliographystyle{seg}
\bibliography{new_refs_L}
\end{document}
thanks again
