Bibliography Style that suppresses Notes

Post by hanieh71 »

I need a style which does not show the "note" of bibliography items in the references. I copy the bibliography items from MathSciNet and do not want to change them. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hmm...you want to change the bibliography style, but you don't want to change the bibliography style. That's a tricky one.

All kidding aside: You have two options. (1) Edit the .bst file to disable printing of the note field (should be as simple as commenting out the line(s) that print the note field), or (2) remove the note field from your .bib file.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Actually I don't want to change the .bib file for the further works, so I can't select the second choice. About first choice, I don't know what to do! Is there any bibliography style that does it for me? I tried "siam", "plain" and ... but they show the notes.

Thanks.

You will have to find the bibliography style file (e.g., plain.bst). Make a copy of this file in your working directory with a different name (e.g., plain-nonote.bst), then find the line that prints the notes and comment it out with a percent sign.

In plain.bst, for example, that line is

Code: Select all

note output
or, in some cases,

Code: Select all

note "note" output.check
