[Tex/LaTex] Remove “Tech. Rep.” Output from SIAM bibtex style

bibliographiesbibtex

I've got the following Problem using the SIAM bibtex style. Consider the following bib entry

@TECHREPORT{Pap1,
  author = {Author One},
  title = {Paper Title},
  institution = {My Institute},
  year = {2011},
  number = {XXX/YY-ZZ},
  month = {December},
}

and

\nocite{Pap1}
\bibliographystyle{siam} 
\bibliography{bibfile}

to generate the bibliography. Then the output is

 A. ONE, Paper title, Tech. Rep. XXX/YY-ZZ, My Institute, December 2011.

How can I remove the "Tech. Rep." from the output? Setting type={} in the bibtex entry does not help and type={~} removes the "Tech. Rep. but inserts an unwanted whitespace before the number.

Best Answer

In this particular case

type={\unskip\space},

seems to work.

You may want to change to BiblaTex, it is the future since it's much more customizable than BibTex. You can do what you asked for using this*:

\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
{\enumerate{}
{\setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
\setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
\setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
\setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}}
{\endenumerate}
{\item}

*I took it from this question. When you put this in the preamble, you will get what you need:

If you decide to move to Biblatex, you may want to use Biber as the backend. Finally, these two questions will help you a lot to change. What to do to switch to biblatex? and How to use biber.

You can use the following redefinition:

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{apacite}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\APACbVolEdTR}[2]{%
  \ifx\@empty#1\@empty
    \ifx\@empty#2\@empty
    \else%
      \unskip\hbox{}%            (Technical Report No.\ <no>)
    \fi%
  \else%
    ({#1}%               (2nd ed., Vol.~1
    \ifx\@empty#2\@empty%
    \else%
      \unskip; {#2}%     ; Technical Report No.\ <no>
    \fi%
    )%                   Final parenthesis.
  \fi%
}
\makeatother
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{alternative.bib}
@techreport{iso3,
Author = {ISO/IEC },
Date-Added = {2013-04-10 19:39:43 +0000},

\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\cite{iso3}

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{alternative}
