I have to use a journal's Latex template, which specifies \documentclass{book}. The template assumes I will enter my references manually in the format that they want. However, I would like to use bibtex to enter my references. When I do that, it forces the Bibliography to start on an odd-numbered page. I would like the references to start directly after the end of the article. I have tried changing the documentclass to "article", but that causes errors because the template uses the chapter format. Is there a way to revert back to the article-style references within the book documentclass?
\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\begin{document}
Document contents here with use of \cite.
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References} % to change "Bibliography" to "References"
\bibliography{refs} % starts references on next odd-numbered page
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\end{document}

If you are not loading
natbib
, you can pacth\thebibliography
so it uses\section*
instead of\chapter*
:If you are loading
natbib
, then all you have to do is to redefine\bibsection
