Need help with BibTeX

Post by lllisa »

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.

LLLisa

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

Post a full minimal example, starting

Code: Select all

\documentclass{...}
and finishing

Code: Select all

\end{document}
There are still lots of things you could be doing, package-wise.

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.

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
