I have a reference for article where author name contains several specific characters. Do I need a specific package for this case:
Here is the reference:
@article{matouvsek1998thel2,
title={On the {$L_2$}-discrepancy for anchored boxes},
author={Matou{\v{s}}ek, Ji{\v{r}}{\i}́},
journal={Journal of Complexity},
volume={14},
number={4},
pages={527--556},
year={1998},
publisher={Elsevier}
}
Here's a solution using biblatex. Note that \mkfirstpage uses \mkpageprefix as a post-processor instead of these commands simply being nested; see section 4.6.4 of the biblatex manual for details.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{\mkfirstpage[{\mkpageprefix[bookpagination]}]{#1}}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Bli74,
author = {Blinder, Alan S.},
year = {1974},
title = {The economics of brushing teeth},
journaltitle = {Journal of Political Economy},
volume = {82},
number = {4},
pages = {887--891},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Use biblatex. It defines a pagetotal field. For articles, you can use the addendum field, which may contain whatever you want and is printed at the end of the reference.

Have you seen the posting How to write “ä” and other umlauts and accented letters in bibliography?
Let's assume that you use the Computer Modern font family and pdfLaTeX to compile your document. In that case, you do not need to load any packages to typeset the three accented characters in the
authorfield of your bibliographic entry -- r-with v-check, s-with-v-check, and dotless-i. (Aside: did you mean to write{\'i}, i.e., i-with-sharp-accent, instead of dotless-i?) However, for some other accented characters, such as ogonek-a or ogonek-k, you will need to load thefontencpackage with the optionT1.If you have the option to employ either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, you won't have to load any special packages.
