bibtexciting
APA style requires in text citation to replace "&" with "and" when the authors' names are cited outside the parenthesis in the text, for example:
correct
He, Zhang, Zhou and Chen (2009)
incorrect
He, Zhang, Zhou & Chen (2009)
However, model5-names.bst from elsarticle.cls gives "&" in text citation when \citet{} is used instead of "and".
I need help to modify model5-names.bst to give me the proper in text citation format.
Thank you.
Bibtex in combination with natbib does the trick.
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
% or you can also use
% \usepackage{natbib}
\citet*{smith13} demonstrated conclusively that it is possible to generate full names using BibTex.
The example above results in:
Waldo Smith (1993) demonstrated conclusively that it is possible to generate full names using BibTex.
To get the desired output, you need to change the \URLprefix macro (to change the prefix before the URL string), the print.url function (to suppress printing if a non-empty doi string is present), and the fin.entry function (to suppress the . at end of the formatted entry.
Change the instruction (ca. line 1686)
"\providecommand{\URLprefix}{URL: }"
to
"\providecommand{\URLprefix}{Retrieved from }"
Change the print.url function (starts ca. line 995) from
FUNCTION {print.url}
{url duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ "" }
{ new.sentence
urlprefix "\url{" * swap$ * "}" *
}
if$
}
to
FUNCTION {print.url}
{url duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ "" }
{ doi empty$
{ new.sentence
urlprefix "\url{" * swap$ * "}" * }
{ pop$ "" }
if$
}
if$
}
The new code chunk checks if the doi field is empty; only if that's the case, the formatted contents of the url field are printed.
Change the fin.entry function so that it looks like this (this will suppress printing a . if either a doi or a url field is non-empty, incorporating your earlier query):
FUNCTION {fin.entry}
{ doi empty$
{ url empty$
{ add.period$ }
{ }
if$
}
{ }
if$
write$
newline$
}
Addendum: Here's an MWE (minimum working example) that has two bib entries: one with both url and doi fields, and one with only a url field. If both fields are present, only the doi is printed; if only a url field is present, it's printed out, prefixed by "Retrieved from URL address ". (A separate comment: the modified bst file incorporates your earlier two requests as well: (i) showing the number field, in parentheses, and (ii) no period at end of entry if doi field is printed.)
\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{mybib.bib}
@article{abc,
author = "Anne Author",
title = "An entry with both doi and url fields",
journal = "Thoughts",
year = 3001,
volume = 1,
number = 2,
pages = "3-4",
url = "http://xyz.com",
doi = 12345678,
}
@article{def,
author = "Annie Author",
title = "An entry with only a url field",
journal = "Thoughts",
year = 3002,
volume = 5,
number = 6,
pages = "7-8",
url = "http://xyz.com",
}
\end{filecontents}

OK, this turns out to be one of the easier questions you've posted so far.
In the modified version of
model5-names.bst(you've called the modified copy something likemymodel5.bst, right?), locate the function namedformat.full.names.In this function, locate the string
bbl.and. Replace this string with"and". Note the double quotes.Save the file
mymodel5.bst.Be sure to load the
natbibpackage with the optionlongnamesfirst. The solution prposed here will not work unless this option is specified.Rerun LaTeX, BibTeX, and LaTeX twice more to fully propagate all changes.
Remarks: (i) As indicated above, this solution works only if natbib's
longnamesfirstoption is set. If this isn't to your liking, I'm afraid I have no advice on what else might be done. (ii) The solution proposed here won't be to APA style if you use\citepinstead of\citetto cite a given entry for the first time in a document.
