I am writing for a journal (Transportation Research Record) that has strange and particular bibliographic guidelines. I've been able to adapt natbib
to work for the in-text citations. But the bibliography prints brackets around the item numbers.
\documentclass[11pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\title{Brief Article}
\author{The Author}
\usepackage[round,sort,numbers]{natbib}
\newcommand{\trbcite}[1]{({\it\citenum{#1}})}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
This is an example citation \trbcite{Mokhtarian2008}.
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bibfile}
\end{document}
With bibfile.bib
containing
@article{Mokhtarian2008,
author = {Mokhtarian, Patricia L. and Cao, Xinyu},
doi = {10.1016/j.trb.2007.07.006},
issn = {01912615},
journal = {Transportation Research Part B: Methodological},
keywords = {built environment,causality,land use,residential location,smart growth},
month = mar,
pages = {204--228},
title = {{Examining the impacts of residential self-selection on travel behavior: A focus on methodologies}},
url = {http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0191261507000744},
volume = {42},
year = {2008}
}
Any easy ways to do this? Or is this something that will require the .bst file?

Add to the preamble
Not related to the question, but
\it
is an old command that shouldn't be used anymore; use\itshape
instead.
