BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Controlling displayed reference style
Controlling displayed reference style
I wanted to ask how to control the of bibtex references for different entry types. I want to display everything consistently in exactly this format:
Author (year), Title, other stuff.
However, sometimes the title is not italic and enclosed in 'single quotation marks' instead, sometimes the journal is in italic or the volume number is in bold font. This is hugely inconsistent.
For instance, I don't like this journal entry the formatting:
@article{Vrouwenvelder_etal_2018,
author = {Ton Vrouwenvelder and Bernt J. Leira and Miroslav Sykora},
title = {Modelling of Hazards},
journal = {Structural Engineering International},
volume = {22},
number = {1},
pages = {73-78},
year = {2012},
publisher = {Taylor & Francis},
doi = {10.2749/101686612X13216060213356},
}
Displayed as:
Vrouwenvelder, T., Leira, B. J. and Sykora, M. (2012), ‘Modelling of hazards’, Structural
Engineering International 22(1), 73–78.
On the other hand, the following book entry gives me exactly the formatting I wanted:
@book{Cormie_2009,
author = {Cormie, David and Mays, Geoff and Smith, Peter },
title = {Blast effects on buildings},
publisher = {Thomas Telford Limited},
address = {London, UK},
year = {2009},
type = {Book}
}
Displayed as:
Cormie, D., Mays, G. and Smith, P. (2009), Blast effects on buildings, Thomas Telford Limited, London, UK.
One solution would be to use @book type for every entry. The problem is that journal articles have publisher, volume, number etc that @book format doesn't.
How can I control the displayed reference style.
Thanks
