BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Techreport Author Initials only singular

[Biggles]

Hi All,

For some reason I cannot get a techreport to list all the authors initials, eg instead of Rantz, SE (1982) it only displays Rantz, S (1982). I can't find anything to change this in makebst. Some help on this one would be great.

Thanks.

Show at least the complete BibTeX database entry for this technical report and tell us the bibliography style. All this is best done by means of a minimal working example (MWE).


Best regards
Thorsten

Sorry about that.

I hope this helps


An example Tex file is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{Refstyle}
\def\bibname{Reference List}
\citep{rant1982}

\bibliography{literature}
\end{document}

The BibTeX export that I am using from end note is:

Code: Select all

@techreport{
  rant1982,
  Author = {Rantz, S.E.},
  Title = {Measurement and Computation of Streamflow: Volume 1. Measurement of stage and discharge},
  Institution = {US Government Printing Office},
  Address = {Washington, DC},
  Series = {Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 2175},
  Year = {1982} 
}

The bst file is in the attachment.

Regarding the output of the name you have to modify the author field of the database entry.

Code: Select all

Author = {Rantz, S. E.}

There is a space needed for recognition of two names.

Please use the »Code« environment when posting code for more clarity.
