biblatex | Customized References

Post by Ross Ahmed »

I need my references to be formatted the same as in the attached image.

My bibliography database files look like this:

Code: Select all

@INCOLLECTION{Chandler2009,
  author = {Chandler, R.J.},
  title = {{Shorebirds of the Northern Hemisphere}},
  publisher = {Christopher Helm},
  year = {2009},
  address = {London},
  annote = {Whimbrel and Curlew account},
  file = {:Users/rossahmed/Library/Application Support/Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Chandler - 2009 - Shorebirds of the Northern Hemisphere.pdf:pdf}
}

@BOOK{EngelmoerM&Roselaar1998,
  title = {{Geographical Variation in Waders}},
  publisher = {Springer},
  year = {1998},
  author = {Engelmoer, M. \&  Roselaar, C.S.},
  pages = {214--223},
  annote = {Curlew and Whimbrel section},
  file = {:Users/rossahmed/Library/Application Support/Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Engelmoer, M \& Roselaar - 1998 - Geographical Variation in Waders.pdf:pdf}
}

@BOOK{PraterT1977,
  title = {{Guide to the Identification and Ageing of Holarctic Waders}},
  publisher = {BTO},
  year = {1977},
  author = {{Prater, T.}, Marchant.J. \& Vuorien, J.},
  address = {Tring},
  annote = {Curlew and Whimbrel section},
  file = {:Users/rossahmed/Library/Application Support/Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Prater, T - 1977 - Guide to the Identification and Ageing of Holarctic Waders.pdf:pdf}
}
Unfortunately, as I'm a beginner, the following code is as close as I've got to producing the desired results:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{CU1.1jabref.bib}
\begin{document}

This is my text \cite{EngelmoerM&Roselaar1998}

This is more text \cite{Chandler2009}

This is even more text \cite{PraterT1977}

\printbibliography
\end{document}
How can I produce desired reference format (see screenshot attached)?

Does 'latex makebst' (and answering the questions) give you the desired effect?

Also, that looks like it's from a journal---you should check to see whether said journal makes a style file for you. Many of them do.
