I am submitting a paper to a Springer journal using their LaTeX template available here. I am using the Standard Nature style (sn-standardnature.bst)
.
Everything works fine except that my InProceedings
references do not seem to be appearing correctly in my bibliography. From my reading, I have included all required fields for InProceedings
, those being the authors, title, booktitle and year. Despite the fact that I have the booktitle field, it does not appear in the reference. An example output would be:
"Smith, J. Article Title (2021)." where I am wanting: "Smith, J. Article Title. Book Title (2021)."
By experimenting I found that including the editor field would partially resolve the issue (although it would include the blank editors field in the reference itself, which I do not want).
When compiling I also get the warning:
"You can't pop an empty literal stack for entry myproceedings while executing—line 1701 of file sn-standardNature.bst".
I have followed this up but have been unable to find how to resolve my specific issues, although judging by similar answers on this site [1], [2], [3], I suspect it may be to do with an errant skip$
command in the sn-standardnature.bst
file.
\documentclass[sn-standardnature]{sn-jnl}
\begin{document}
Words1 \cite{myproceedings}
\bibliography{ABC}
\end{document}
Where an example of my InProceedings
bibtex entry is:
@InProceedings{myproceedings,
author = {Smith, J.},
title = {Article Title},
booktitle = {Book Title},
year = {2021}
}
Thanks!

You need to add the editor of the book.
As a help to solve other similar issues I wrote this guide:
(1) Download Springer Nature LaTeX authoring template
(2) Add the missing extension (!)
.zip
to the downloaded file and open it. The package contains thesn-bibliography.bib
with 12 references from various sources.(3) Make a directory including
sn-bibliography.bib
,sn-jnl.cls
and, for examplesn-standardnature.bst
, (found in the subdirbst
together with other formats).(4) Save this file in the same directory and compile:
LaTeX + LateX + bibtex + LateX + LateX
(5) After
bibtex
you shold see in the command windowThe last line is important.
(6) The output should look like this:
(7) Now you know your installation is fine and you are able to produce the list of references.
(8) Finally replace
sn-bibliography.bib
with your own.bib
file, put your\cite
and go to step 4.(9) If after running
bibtex
you getProcess exited with error(s)
you can use the .bib template as a guide to found missing fields, proper format for entries and so on.
