Get rid of Numbering in References

Post by brian111489 »

Hi all

In the References, it shows for instance
[1] Ali Choudhary, Paul Levine, Peter McAdam, and PeterWelz. Happiness inertia: Analytical aspects of the easterlin paradox. Oxford Economic Papers, forthcoming, 2011.
[2] Vasco J. Gabriel, Paul Levine, Joseph Pearlman, and Bo Yang. An estimated dsge model of the indian economy. Handbook of the Indian Economy, forthcoming, 2011.

But I want to get rid of the numbering [1] [2] etc.

I'm now using plain bib style with reverse year order. I'm also using multibib.

Is there a way to get rid of numbering? or change it's color to white?

Please save my life, I'm running out of options but to bother you guys.

Have a look at the Bibstyles document, which can be found here. Scroll down a bit to find BibTeX styles where the numbers are not used.

thanks for the help.

But I'm actually looking for getting rid of the number at all, like just using the bibliography as a list of publications of a professor.

Can I change it to a small black dot?

Try using natbib and a non-numeric bibliography style (e.g., plainnat, unsrtnat, abbrvnat). You can also make custom bibliography styles using "latex makebst"; then you can get exactly the formatting you want, without numbers, etc.
