I would like to use a bibliography style that aligns the text of the second and later lines of each reference entry with the text of the first. I have been using \bibliographystyle{apalike} but, as can be seen from in image below, the text of each line is not aligned. Which styles will achieve this? Thanks…
You are probably using a bad syntax for the author names:
author={Tyson, J. P. and Dikstra, M. and Holmes, F. M. R.},
is the correct input so that BibTeX can parse the list of authors. I get the same output as you obtain with
author={Tyson J.P., Dikstra M. and Holmes F.M.R.},
that BibTeX parses, according to its rules, as two authors: the first has a family name "Tyson J.P.", first name "Dikstra" and middle name "M.". The second author has first name "Holmes" and family name "F.M.R.".
With your input
author={Tyson, J.P., Dikstra, M., Holmes, F.M.R.},
things are worse, because BibTeX finds too many commas and issues nine error messages.
Authors should be listed separated by the keyword and; you have the choice of listing each author as
<first name> <middle name(s)> <family name>
or in the clearer way
<family name>, <first name> <middle name(s)>
According to its documentation, BibTeX already takes care of hyphenated first names. Quoting the section about author names (p. 24):
Names are separated by spaces above, but it may occur that two first names are separated by a hyphen, as in “Jean-François” for instance. BibTeX splits that string, and if both parts are in the First, the abbreviated surnames is “J.-F.” as (generally) wanted.
And indeed, simply typing the names with a hyphen and without any extra braces works fine, as shown by the following sample.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{hyphens.bib}
@article{hyphens,
author = {Soon-Wook Chung and Byoung-Kwang Kim and Woo-Jin Song},
title = {{Hyphenation of first names in Bib\TeX}},
journal = {{The \TeX\ StackExchange}},
year = 2016
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{hyphens}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
%\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{hyphens}
\end{document}
Output with bibliography style plain:
Output with bibliography style IEEEtran:

To remove the hanging indentation, you needn't change bibliography styles. Just set the
\bibhanglength parameter to zero.Assuming the Alziary et al entry is in a file called
adk.bib, running latex, bibtex, and latex twice more on the MWE below results in the following output:Remark: You should encase the words "P.D.E.", "Asian", and "Analytical" in the
titlefield in curly braces to prevent them from being converted to lowercase.
