Best Answer
In the folowing, we will assume you use
natbib
withplainnat.bst
, this solution will work for all standardnatbib
.bst
files and probably the majority of.bst
files - just follow the instructions below.If you are using
natbib
withplainnat.bst
, you will just have to modify the functionFUNCTION {format.pages}
.Locate
plainnat.bst
on your file system, copy it to a place LaTeX can find it (a good start would be the directory your.tex
file is in) and rename it (to, say,myplainnat.bst
). Open the renamed document and findFUNCTION {format.pages}
, replace the function byNow use
\bibliographystyle{myplainnat}
instead of\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
.MWE
Edit as you are using
apalike.bst
(you can find out what style you are using by examining\bibliographystyle{apalike}
), here is the guide forapalike
.Find
apalike.bst
on your computer (it is probably intexmf-dist/bibtex/bst/apalike
, on my machine it was inC:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\bibtex\bst\apalike
; if you have no idea where to find it, open a command prompt/shell and typekpsewhich apalike.bst
and navigate to that file) copy it into the directorymyQuestion.tex
is in, renameapalike.bst
tomyapalike.bst
.Open
myapalike.bst
and search forFUNCTION {format.pages}
(in my version of the file it is on line 378), you will find a block of code like this.Just change the word "pages" in the fifth line to "pp." and "page" in the sixth line to "p.", so the whole function now reads:
Instead of
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
from now on use\bibliographystyle{myapalike}
.So your MWE becomes
the bibliography looks like this
