I am using natbib
and the plainnat
style for the references. I would like to know how can I remove the ISSN, DOI and URL from the references without deleting them in the .bib file. I have seen some solutions in other posts but using biblatex
; is there any solution for using natbib
?
This is the code I am using:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[square,sort&compress,comma,numbers]{natbib}
\author{Me}
\title{Article}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
This article...
\end{abstract}
\section{Intro}
According to \citet{John2003} ...
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{bibl}
\end{document}
bibl
contains an entry with the keycode John2003

I would not recommend modifying the
*.bib
file. You may need these fields one day (some journals ask to put DOI/ISSN, and URLs can be useful for your own reference). Instead, you should change the style file that regulates how bibliography is displayed.Locate
plainnat.bst
file on your computer. Copy it to the directory with your*.tex
files, rename it to something likeplainnatnourl.bst
and modify it such that it does not print URLs. You can then useModification should be rather simple. In case of
abbrvnat.bst
the only thing I had to do was to changeto
plainnat.bst
should be similar.
