BibTeX: replace ", and" with ","

Post by paeschli »

Hello everyone,

First experience with BibTeX, I don't quite understand how it handles multiple authors. I separate the authors with AND, but in my output there's a comma followed by "and". I only want to have the comma but don't want it to be followed by the word "and".

Also, is there any way to get my output in a standard reference style (American Chemical Society, Modern Language Association of America, American Psychological Association, the Vancouver system ...)? My main issue with the current input is that now I have forename surname when ideally I'd want surname first letter of the forename. In a perfect situation, I'd want the first name in bold, the forename automatically abbreviated to the first letter and the year before the volume, issue and pages.

For example:
Boccard J, Veuthey J-L, Rudaz S. Knowledge discovery in metabolomics: An overview of MS data handling. J. Sep. Sci. 2010; 33(3):290–304.

Thanks in advance,

paeschli

Welcome, this is called the Oxford and.

In order to help you to remove that, we need to see a minimal working example, and if the bst file is not on CTAN, we need a link to it as well (or upload to the forum server).
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
