Modify Bibliography Style in Thesis Template

Post by psychoanalyst »

Hello All,

I have been facing a frustrating problem that I have been unable to fix.

I am using the Georgia Tech thesis template (which is where I go to school).

The template can be found here: http://www.gradadmiss.gatech.edu/thesis/templates.php

I have no issues with the template except for one thing. I need the references to appear in the order in which I cite them, but the bibstyle used in the template is designed to order references alphabetically.

I have tried all kinds of things ranging from using a completely different bibstyle (rsc, IEEE for e.g.) and also substituted the existing bibliographystyle command

%\bibliographystyle{gatech-thesis}.....original command
\bibliographystyle{is-unsrt}...........modified

But, I cannot get the citations to appear in order of citation. Using the above command, my first citation is number [8], when it should be [1].

I have also tried

\bibliographystyle{unsrt} or
\bibliographystyle{rsc}.............this completely messes up the entire file for some reason.

Could someone please bail me out?

Thanks a lot.

Avi

I tried the Natbib package with

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

But some reason, it refuses to order the citations in numerical order...

What am I missing?

Hi,

I know this is an old post. But I am having a similar problem with the thesis template provided by LyX. Did you solve the issue?

I've tried several methods to get the bibliography to order citations by when they appear in text, instead they appear in order they were added to the text.

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your time.
