BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Getting a custom Citation and Bibliography Style

[NELLLY]

Hello,

I use this code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\date{}
\usepackage[square]{natbib}
%\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\usepackage{tabularx,graphicx,rotating,subfigure,booktabs}
\usepackage{caption}\hyphenpenalty 1000
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{3.5cm} \setlength{\textwidth}{6in}
\setlength{\textheight}{8.9in} \setlength{\topmargin}{-0.6in}
\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.2in} \setlength{\headsep}{.4in}
\setlength{\footnotesep}{.2in} \setlength{\parindent}{0.5cm}
%\captionsetup{belowskip=12pt,aboveskip=4pt}
\title{Economic Design of  $np$ Control Charts using a Variable Control Limit}
\begin{document}
\citet{BAI98} \clearpage
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{ESSAIBIB} % bib database file refs.bib

\nocite{*}      % list all refs in database, cited or not.
\end{document}

And in the file "ESSAIBIB.bib" I have this entry.

Code: Select all

@ARTICLE{BAI98,
  author = {Bai, D. S. and Lee, K. T.},
  title = {An economic design of variable sampling interval $\bar{X}$ control charts},
  journal = {International Journal of Production Economics},
  year ={1998},
  volume ={54},
  pages = {57-64},
}

When I typeset the main file, I get this

author(?)[1]

References

[1] Bai D. S. An economic design of variable sampling interval ¯X control charts. International Journal of Production Economics, 54:57–64, 1998.

I need to suppress the (author?) and to get instead Bai and Lee and to get the reference of the paper in the following format

References

1. Bai, D. S. and Lee, K.T. (1998). An economic design of variable sampling interval ¯X control charts. \textit{International Journal of Production Economics}, 54, 57–64.

Your code does not work for me. I get this error.

Code: Select all

Package natbib Error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations.
(natbib)              Press <return> to continue in numerical citation style.

When I alter your bibliography style to plainnat, it works but doesn't show the output you want (see attachment).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[square,authoryear]{natbib}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{BAI98,
  author = {Bai, D. S. and Lee, K. T.},
  title = {An economic design of variable sampling interval $\bar{X}$ control charts},
  journal = {International Journal of Production Economics},
  year ={1998},
  volume ={54},
  pages = {57-64},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

\title{Economic Design of $np$ Control Charts using a Variable Control Limit}
\author{NELLLY}
\date{}

\begin{document}
  \citet{BAI98}
  \clearpage

  \bibliography{\jobname} % bib database file refs.bib
\end{document}

Perhaps you should take a look at biblatex to customize your bibliography or create a custom bibliography style (*.bst) by custom-bib.


Remarks:

• Learn how to build a minimal example.
• Page dimensions are setup up by geometry and never the way you do.
