BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ square bracket in references

[nonplussed]

My bibliography output for my report is shown in the picture attachment. For some reason, I don't want [Conference Proceedings]to show in my references. Please let me know what's wrong with it.

Right now, nobody can tell what the cause of the problem is. Try to prepare a minimal working example. This gives us some code to spot the reason for the described behaviour and test possible solutions. If you do not know how to prepare a MWE, just follow the link.

Hi, without the bib the example is not compilable and hence the problem cannot be fixed. Please use the code-button next time.
However, modifying BibTeX-styles is complicated.

Using the newer biblatex and the corresponding bibliographyprocessor biber is recommended nowadays. This also gives you complete utf8 support. Take a look at the following example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{herrmann}

\cite{herrmann}

\parencite{herrmann}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

If your TeX-Distribution is fairly up-to-date, you can just copy+paste and compile this example.
