BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Jabref: replace "&" with "and" in author list

[vshih]

Sorry if this is a simple question but I'm new to LaTeX and BibTex/Jabref. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how simply replace the "&" sign with "and" in an author list. This happens for every reference with more than 1 author. For example, let this be my reference:

Code: Select all

@ARTICLE{Candes2007,
  author = {Candes, E. and Tao, T.},
  title = {{The Dantzig selector: statistical estimation when p is much larger
	than n}},
  journal = {The Annals of Statistics},
  year = {2007},
  volume = {35},
  number = {6},
  pages = {2313-2351}
}

The citation in fine when I run it in LaTeX but in references, it becomes: Candes, E., & Tao, T. (2007). The Dantzig selector: statistical estimation when p is much larger than n. The Annals of Statistics, 35 (6), 2313-2351.

How do I replace the "&" between the two authors to "and"?

This happens for 3 or more authors as well: Calhoun, V., Liu, J., & Adali, T. (2009). A review of group ICA for fMRI data and ICA for joint inference of imaging, genetic, and ERP data. NeuroImage, 45 , S163-S172.

Jabref documentation isn't helping...

This has nothing to do with JabRef: the format of the typeset output depends on your .bst file. Which one are you using (i.e. what do you have for \bibliographystyle)?

Hi Joseph,

You're right. I thought it was Jabref since the "&" appeared there. It happened to be that I was using the apacite package which gives the "&" default instead of "and". The following code after \usepackage{apacite} seemed to do the trick:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\BBAA}{and}

Thanks for offering to help! It took me a good 5 hours just to figure this out!
