[Tex/LaTex] DOI in IEEEtran bibliography

bibtexdoiieeetran

The IEEE Citation Reference specifies that a DOI should be provided for electronic articles without page numbers. However, IEEEtran.bst appears to provide no such functionality. What is the best way to get DOI numbers in the bibliography?

Bonus if the solution also

optionally makes display of DOI conditional on a lack of page numbers for conference proceedings only; and/or
hyperlinks the DOI (e.g. through the doi or uri packages).

I'll accept a solution that involves editing IEEEtran.bst—this is the approach I'm working on now—but would prefer one that doesn't, if possible.

Best Answer

I've created a patch to IEEEtranN.bst that does the trick, including the "bonus" features.

[Tex/LaTex] Getting rid of DOI, ISSN links from bibliography

One way to make BibTeX ignore fields such as doi and issn is to set the BibTeX functions that format these fields to a "dummy" instruction that does nothing at all. These functions (and all other BibTeX functions) are contained in the bibliography style file that's in use. Since you indicate that you use the unsrtnat bibliography style, you could proceed as follows:

Find the file unsrtnat.bst on your TeX system and copy it to, say, unsrtnatDNA.bst. (Never edit the original style files.)
Open the file unsrtnatDNA.bst in your favorite text editor. Search for the functions {format.issn} and {format.doi}. (The headers of these functions are on lines 278 and 292 in my version of the file unsrtnat.bst.) Replace their definitions -- the stuff below the respective header lines that's enclosed by a pair of curly braces -- with a "dummy" definition, viz., { }. For instance, you should change the definition of format.issn from
```
FUNCTION {format.issn}
{ issn empty$
    { "" }
    { new.block "ISSN " issn * }
if$
}
```
to
```
FUNCTION {format.issn}
{ }
```
Save and close the file.
Depending on your TeX distribution, you may have to update the filename database that TeX uses to find all relevant files. For instance, if you use TeXLive, the command that updates the filename database is called texhash.
From now one, use the command \bibliographystyle{unsrtnatDNA} in your tex files to instruct BibTeX to use your modified bibliography style file.

[Tex/LaTex] IEEEtran bibliography — “germanify” it

try the IEEEtran-de.bst from http://archiv.dante.de/~herbert/Bibliography/german/ You have a lot of urls the reason why I prefer to set the bibliography ragged right. My example file which now has no problem with your bib data:

\RequirePackage[ngerman=ngerman-x-latest]{hyphsubst}
\documentclass[10pt,compsoc, a4paper]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{url} 
\usepackage{ragged2e} 
\begin{document}
Of course this isn’t an actual quote but I’m going to use cite anyway.\cite{kelly_printing_2011}
Awesome, right?\cite{warnecke_einfuhrung_2006},\cite{schnitker_stereolithographie_2008}

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran-de}
\begingroup
\RaggedRight
\bibliography{foo2}
\endgroup
\end{document}

However, some urls are still problematic, you have to add some more possible breakpoints. See documentation for package url or search here.
