Commas in style and author format

Post by GalGavu »

Hi.
I'm making my first document in tex which is my Master's thesis. As my university has it's own format of writing it (of course in ms word) I need some changes to be made in bibtex style. So basically when i have:

Code: Select all

@book{scholar1,
	author =       "Kohonen, T. and Honkela, T.",
	title =        "Kohonen network",
	publisher =    "Scholarpedia 2(1):1568.",
	year =         "2007",
	note = "\url{http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Kohonen_network}"
}
With plain.bst I'm getting:

Code: Select all

T. Kohonen and T. Honkela. Kohonen network. Scholarpedia 2(1):1568., 2007. http://www.
scholarpedia.org/article/Kohonen˙network.
with acm.bst I'm getting:

Code: Select all

Kohonen, T., and Honkela, T. Kohonen network. Scholarpedia 2(1):1568., 2007. http://www.
scholarpedia.org/article/Kohonen˙network.
What I need is:

Code: Select all

Kohonen T., Honkela T., Kohonen network, Scholarpedia 2(1):1568, 2007, http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Kohonen_network.
So basically I need:

Code: Select all

Second_Name First_Letter_Of_first_Names, Title, etc.
I can't find any style to do this. As you can see I need commas between title, authors, year, publisher, everything. I need commas instead of 'and' between authors. And as you can see url with '_' shows '˙' which is bad.
Can anybody provide such a style or instruct me how to change. I'm a programmer but definitely I don't understand .bst formating :/

Yes, this formatting is quite the challange. At least for me, too. IIRC, there's a program makebst or so which helps you formatting your bibliography in every detail possible. Maybe also JabRef can help out there, but I'm not sure abotu that.

Is there any tutorial for makebst because when I'm using it I'm getting totally different format :)

I'd advise you to search for tutorials -- I haven't made any experiences that I could share.
