Convert .ens style file to .bst file

Post by njsilbiger »

Hello,
I am trying to format a paper in LaTex for the Marine Ecology Progress Series. Unfortunately, there is no .bst available (or at least I can not find one) for this journal and I do not have experience editing bst files. On their guidelines to authors website, they provide an ENS file for endnote. Is there a way to convert an ENS file to a bst file so that I can use it in BibTex? Here is the url with the ENS file: http://endnote.com/downloads/style/mari ... ess-series

Thank you!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I'm afraid there is no way to do the conversion: what you'll need to do is create a bst file from scratch, probably using custom-bib. To do that, you'll need to know the various requirements the journal has.
