BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Reference style and font

[degisus]

Hi all,

I am trying to put up reference in certain style, but I am unable to do it.

I want to produce:
REAMS, G.A., SMITH, W.D., AND HANSEN, M.H. 2005. The Forest Inventory and Analysis sampling frame. P. 11–26 In The enhanced forest inventory and analysis program: National sampling design and estimation procedures, Bechtold, W.A., and P.L. Patterson (eds.). US For. Serv. Gen. Tech. Rep. SRS-80.

Instead, I am getting:
G. Reams, W. Smith, and M. Hansen. The enhanced forest inventory and analysis program: National sampling design and estimation procedures, chapter The Forest Inventory and Analysis sampling frame. US Forest Service, 2005.

I am using abbrv.sty

Can anyone tell me how to have end result with Authors' name in Capital letters, and position of Chapter and Book name switched?

Thanks

Hi,

manually modifying your .bst-file is always an option, but in the following file, many predefined styles are already defined. Check this:

Hopefully there is a style which fits your requirements.

(siam and phjcp have both caps in the authornames of references)

Greetings,

I am a LaTex newbie that has had a good amount of success running basic LaTex however I am in the throws of collating my PhD dissertation! I am a student at the University of Alaska, which has a LaTex dissertation group (Physics) that has generously created a UAF_dissertation.cls file which takes care of all the hard stuff in terms of LaTex formatting. Given that my program is Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Journals I have submitted my manuscripts to, my bibliography/citation requirements are not bibtex-ed.

Specifically, I need a bibtex style file for the Journal of Lipid Research which takes the form:

Last Name, First/Middle Initials., First/ Middle initials, Last, (through 10 authors then et al). year. title. Abbreviated Journal title (italics). Vol (bold): pages

I am hoping there is a bibtex style that I can modify or people can rate how big of pain this will be to create on my own.

cheers

Hello dlemas !

Bibtex files are definitely a pain to get the hang of, but I think you will find using biblatex much easier (I'm very much in your shoes, but have tried my hand at some simple modifications of biblatex files).

You can have a look at the authoryear biblatex style which outputs the author name format like you need. For formatting other parts of the reference you can look at one of the styles such as biblatex-chem or biblatex-science.

Here is an excellent post with tips for the most common format changes with biblatex.

Good Luck!
PS: I use Jabref to manage my reference database (.bib)- it allows you to convert the journal names to their abbreviated form using an extensive in built list that can be supplemented if necessary.
