[Tex/LaTex] biblatex output like BibTeX’s unsrt style

biblatexbibtexsorting

I use biblatex in order to have a bibliography per chapter. I tried chapterbib and bibtopic, but I did not succeed with the former and citations were not sorted with the latter.

This what the document looks like :

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[refsection=chapter, sorting=none]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{Kresse1993,
  author = {Kresse, G. and Hafner, J.},
  title = {\textit{Ab initio} molecular dynamics for liquid metals},
  journal = {Phys. Rev. B},
  year = {1993},
  volume = {47},
  pages = {558--561},
  month = {Jan},
  doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.47.558},
  issue = {1},
  publisher = {American Physical Society},
  url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.47.558}
}

@ARTICLE{Blochl1994,
  author = {Bl\"ochl, P. E.},
  title = {Projector augmented-wave method},
  journal = {Phys. Rev. B},
  year = {1994},
  volume = {50},
  pages = {17953--17979},
  month = {Dec},
  doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.50.17953},
  issue = {24},
  publisher = {American Physical Society},
  url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.50.17953}
}

@ARTICLE{Dudarev1998,
  author = {Dudarev, S. L. and Botton, G. A. and Savrasov, S. Y. and Humphreys,
    C. J. and Sutton, A. P.},
  title = {Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural stability of nickel
    oxide: An LSDA+U study},
  journal = {Phys. Rev. B},
  year = {1998},
  volume = {57},
  pages = {1505--1509},
  month = {Jan},
  doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.57.1505},
  issue = {3},
  publisher = {American Physical Society},
  url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.57.1505}
}

@ARTICLE{Henkelman2006,
  author = {Henkelman, G.a and Arnaldsson, A.b and Jonsson, H.b c},
  title = {A fast and robust algorithm for Bader decomposition of charge density},
  journal = {Computational Materials Science},
  year = {2006},
  volume = {36},
  pages = {354-360},
  number = {3},
  note = {cited By (since 1996) 559}
}

@ARTICLE{Kresse1996,
  author = {G. Kresse and J. Furthmüller},
  title = {Efficiency of ab-initio total energy calculations for metals and
    semiconductors using a plane-wave basis set},
  journal = {Computational Materials Science},
  year = {1996},
  volume = {6},
  pages = {15 - 50},
  number = {1},
  doi = {10.1016/0927-0256(96)00008-0},
  issn = {0927-0256},
  url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0927025696000080}
}

\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Chapitre 1}

\nocite{Dudarev1998,Henkelman2006,Blochl1994}

\printbibliography

\chapter{Chapitre 2}

\nocite{Kresse1993,Kresse1996}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

With that, I get per chapter bibliography and citation are sorted by appearance.

But I do not like the format of references which look like :

[1] S. L. Dudarev et al. “Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural sta-
 bility of nickel oxide: An LSDA+U study”. In: Phys. Rev. B 57 (3 1998),
  pp. 1505–1509. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevB.57.1505. url: http://link.
   aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.57.1505.

I would prefer to have the format we obtain with classic unsrt bibliography style :

S. L. Dudarev, G. A. Botton, S. Y. Savrasov, C. J. Humphreys, and A. P.
Sutton. Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural stability of nickel
oxide: An lsda+u study. Phys. Rev. B, 57:1505–1509, Jan 1998.

How can I change that?

Most of the needed changes to the numeric style of biblatex are easy -- the somewhat tricky part (I hope I got it right) is switching the location of the pages field. Traditional unsrt:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{Dudarev1998,
  author = {Dudarev, S. L. and Botton, G. A. and Savrasov, S. Y. and Humphreys,
    C. J. and Sutton, A. P.},
  title = {Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural stability of nickel
    oxide: An LSDA+U study},
  journal = {Phys. Rev. B},
  year = {1998},
  volume = {57},
  pages = {1505--1509},
  month = {Jan},
  doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.57.1505},
  number = {3},
  publisher = {American Physical Society},
  url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.57.1505}
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

Note: I assumed that you used the issue field by mistake and that the number field is the correct one (both for traditional BibTeX and biblatex).

[Tex/LaTex] Bibliography style like ieeetr

Do you want autor-year citations plus an "unsorted" (i.e., sorted in order of first citation) bibliography? This is possible with both natbib and biblatex.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{natbib}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@misc{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
}
@misc{C03,
  author = {Cuthor, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Charlie},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

Some text \citep{B02,A01,C03}.

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[style=authoryear,sorting=none]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@misc{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
}
@misc{C03,
  author = {Cuthor, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Charlie},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

Some text \autocite{B02,A01,C03}.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)

May be the style cj.bst do the job (only for bibtex). You can download the cj.bst from the link provided and put it in the same folder as your .tex file. An example file follows:

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Introduction}

According to the handbook of van Leunen \cite{vanleunen},
this paragraph---and certainly this
section---should be longer than one sentence.

\section{More references}

Here we see if the reference \cite{Narendra_1990}
to the Narendra article comes out OK, in particular,
with volume, number \& pages.

The necessary information for those who would use BibTeX
is available in the 1988 document of Prof.\ Patashnik \cite{btxdoc}.
Interested readers who can read French may also
want to read Poussin's proof\cite{primes}, though
it has nothing at all to do with BibTeX.

\section{Conclusion}

This is the concluding paragraph.  Here I cite another of
Oren Patashnik's books\cite{btxhak} and, again,
van Leunen's and Poussin's \cite{vanleunen,primes}.

\bibliographystyle{cj}  % (uses file "cj.bst")
