I cannot find the right .bst or run "makebst"

Post by gosia »

Hello,

I got to the point that I cannot solve the problem by myself and I need some help. I did search the forum and internet so I am really sorry if I'm asking the answered question.

I am trying to reference my essay, however I can neither find the right style or make use of makebst.

In case of a "makebst" I managed to run it in cmd console under Windows 7 but I do not understand the questions it asks me. It may sound silly, but I just do not get it :/
In case of the style, I just couldn't find one.

My university wants me to this style:
http://www.shef.ac.uk/library/libdocs/hsl-dvc1.pdf
(esp. journal article and a book by two authors)

In the first moment it looks like natbib styles but there are always some details wrong, like {at al} is not italicized, or journal name is not italicized and not followed by a coma, ot initial are before the surname...
The elsart-harv package is almost ok, but again, {et al.} is not italicised, journal name is not italicised and it's not followed by a coma.

Would you have some thoughts on how to solve my problem? If that is not to rude, could I ask someone to make such a style in "makebst" for me? Itried a few times, but literally failed. Or maybe I just missed something obvious, like the package repository?

I would be more than grateful for help.

I would like to wish you all good weekend!
