bibtex
Does anyone know a BibTeX style (bst) suitable to be used in the Electronic Letters Magazine?
I have the LaTeX template from here: http://digital-library.theiet.org/journals/el/author-guide, but not the BibTeX style.
And I am not quite sure if the IEEEtran is suitable for that.
Thanks
This should be what you want. Traditional elsart-num:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Bli74,
author = {Blinder, Alan S.},
year = {1974},
title = {The economics of brushing teeth},
journal = {Journal of Political Economy},
volume = {82},
number = {4},
pages = {887--891},
}
@book{Kop04,
author = {Kopka, Helmut and Daly, Patrick W.},
year = {2004},
title = {Guide to \LaTeX},
edition = {4},
address = {Boston},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{elsart-num}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
biblatex emulation:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[firstinits=true,abbreviate=false]{biblatex}
\renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat{journaltitle}{#1}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{%
\ifentrytype{article}{%
}{%
\printtext{\bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}%
}%
}
\renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{%
\printfield{volume}%
\setunit*{\addnbspace}%
\printfield{number}%
\setunit{\addcomma\space}%
\printfield{eid}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\mkbibparens{#1}}
\renewcommand*{\bibpagespunct}{\addspace}
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}
\renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
\printlist{publisher}%
\setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
\printlist{location}%
\setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
\usebibmacro{date}%
\newunit}
\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},

pages = {887--891},
}
@book{Kop04,
author = {Kopka, Helmut and Daly, Patrick W.},
year = {2004},
title = {Guide to \LaTeX},
edition = {4},
location = {Boston},

}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
For further information see Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles.
For the aipauth4-1 and related bibliography styles, you should be using the 4-1 version of the documentclass, i.e.. revtex4-1 instead of revtex4. These new bibliography styles are one of the main features of the 4-1 release. See revtex4-1 on ctan.
Here is a minimal working pair of documents:
\documentclass[secnumarabic, graphics,floatfix,nofootinbib,
tightenlines,nobibnotes,aps,prl,12pt]{revtex4-1}
\begin{document}
\cite{Kapustin:2013hpk}
\cite{Mishra:2008dm}
\bibliographystyle{aipauth4-1}
\bibliography{bibl}
\end{document}
with bibl.bib containing
@article{Kapustin:2013hpk,
author = "Kapustin, Anton and Willett, Brian",
title = "{Wilson loops in supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter
theories and duality}",
year = "2013",
eprint = "1302.2164",
archivePrefix = "arXiv",
primaryClass = "hep-th",
SLACcitation = "%%CITATION = ARXIV:1302.2164;%%",
}
@article{Mishra:2008dm,
author = "Mishra, Ananta P. and Mohapatra, Ranjita K. and Saumia,
P.S. and Srivastava, Ajit M.",
title = "{Using cosmic microwave background radiation analysis
tools for flow anisotropies in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions}",
journal = "Phys.Rev.",
volume = "C81",
pages = "034903",
doi = "10.1103/PhysRevC.81.034903",
year = "2010",
eprint = "0811.0292",
archivePrefix = "arXiv",
primaryClass = "hep-ph",
SLACcitation = "%%CITATION = ARXIV:0811.0292;%%",
}
Compile via
latex mainfile
bibtex mainfile
latex mainfile
latex mainfile
where you tex file is mainfile.tex.
As the first entry has no journal infomation, it will generate a warning, but this is the data collected from the inspire site you mention. It would be better to change this entry to @misc instead of @article in the bibliography file.
If you don't want the archive information, the simplest thing is to remove the lines eprint, archivePrefix and primaryClass from the bib file, but you had probably better tell the reader where the paper can be found, e.g. via note field if it is not in a journal.
Best Answer
From checking the journal's presentation guide and judging by the paucity of bibliography-related information in
sample.tex(the file that comes with the class file), I'd say you're safe -- for the purpose of submitting a manuscript to the journal -- using just about any bibliography style that (a) produces numeric-style citation call-outs and (b) abbreviates authors' first and middle names down to the initials. You could use a bib style such asapalike, or any one of theIEEEstyles. If you use thenatbibcitation management package, be sure to load it with the optionnumbers;natbib's default style for citation call-outs isauthoryear.If and when your paper is accepted for publication, you'll hopefully get some real instructions regarding how the bibliography should be formatted.
