[Tex/LaTex] Best style (.bst) for Harvard bibliography with Natbib using LyX

bibliographiesbibtexharvard-stylelyxnatbib

Learning LaTeX and using LyX. I'm using BibTeX and natbib.sty for citing. Which .bst is the best for Harvard bibliographies? elsearticle-harv.bst is the closest one I have come across. I have tried to tweak various .bst files for my purposes but it was really not intuitive.

But there are no parentheses around the published year and no separation (e.g. "," or ":") between the title and the volume and number information. I would also prefer Vol. and No. before the respective information but it's not a priority.

If none of the answers here help, there is always the harvard style on CTAN.

Otherwise I suggest you look into using makebst to generate a .bst that behaves as you would like.

The Harvard style covers a wide range of choices of exactly how to do things. Using the natbib package has already been mentioned, while you could also consider biblatex.

[Tex/LaTex] Problem with bibliography in Harvard style

Your bibliography file entry should be simply

@InBook{Renewal,
  author = {Breuer, L. and Baum, D.},
  title = {An Introduction to Queueing Theory and Matrix-Analytic Methods},
  chapter = 6,
  publisher = {Springer},
  year = 2005,
}

All prefixes ALT and OPT should be removed. They are inserted by bibtex-mode in emacs and can be removed in one fell swoop (in emacs) by C-c C-c to 'clean' the bibtex entry. Also, in your posted code, the fields such as key should not have a dot as argument; it is best to remove these lines.

For @InBook you should either have an author or an editor field, but not both; this is what the ALT prefixes are trying to tell you. A minimal plain file making this work is

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\cite{Renewal}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Dissertation}
\end{document}

Now modify this following the instructions of How do I use the Harvard citation style? to invoke a Harvard like style.
