BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Reference Formatting

[dasatti]

Hi I want references in following format

[1] A.B. Khan, C.D. Shah and E.F. Naqvi, “Article Title”, Journal, Publisher, Location, Date, pp. 1-10.
[2] A.B. Khan, C.D. Shah and E.F. Naqvi, "Article Title", in proc. Conference, Location, Date.

Please tell me which style I should use. My document is 2 column article. Also I need these references to be in 9pt in size.

Thanks

You can make a custom bibliography style with latex makebst on the command line; without seeing a much more comprehensive example, I can't be certain what non-article and non-incollection/inproceedings entries should look like. If you're formatting for a specific journal, I advise looking around for their LaTeX style files; a .bst file is usually included, and then any errors in the bibliography style file can be blamed on them.

Can you please provide me more information (or some source) about custom styles using makebst? The conference for which I am writing paper has not given any bst or latex file. They have provided only ms word template. Here are few more examples of the references:

[1] A.B. Khan, C.D. Shah and E.F. Naqvi, “Article Title”, Journal, Publisher, Location, Date, pp. 1-10.
[2] C.D. Shah, A.B. Khan and E.F. Naqvi, Book Title, Publisher, Location, Date.
[3] A.B. Khan, C.D. Shah and E.F. Naqvi, "Article Title", in proc. Conference, Location, Date.
(submitted to a conference)
[4] C.D. Shah, A.B. Khan and E.F. Naqvi, "Article Title", submitted to Conference, Location, Date.
Theses:
[5] C.D. Shah, Thesis title, PhD/MS/MPhil/MA/MSc etc thesis, Department if any, University, Location, Date.

Thanks

What information do you need? You type latex makebst at the shell and answer the questions. It generates a .bst file for you. It's pretty straightforward.
