custom bibliography that can't be made using makebst
|
|
|
| I've recently started using latex again to write articles and am having
trouble formatting my bibliography for a particular publication, namely
biophysical journal.
I'm using natbib and makebst and have almost everything right apart
from
1) the references in the bibliography should be numbered as 1. ... 2.
.... 3. ... At the minute, they're numbered as[1], [2], [3], bibpunct
won't do thisas it only changes the formattinf of the references in the
text, not the typesetting of the references section.
2) The first author should be given as surname, intials and the
subsequent authors as initials, surname, makebst asks me the format of
the names but doesn't allow me to distinguish between first and
subsequent authors.
eg
1. Smith, A. B., C. D.Jones, 1990, Really fancy science, The clinical
journal of extreeme cleverness, 12:38-42
Any help greatly appreciated.

Untested and not guaranteed to work with natbib (I've not used natbib
myself), but something along these lines this is probably what you're
looking for:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\@biblabel}[1]{#1.\hfill}
\makeatother

Sure it does. Isn't that what choice (a) gives you?
<<AUTHOR NAMES:
(*) Full, surname last (John Frederick Smith)
(f) Full, surname first (Smith, John Frederick)
(i) Initials + surname (J. F. Smith)
(r) Surname + initials (Smith, J. F.)
(s) Surname + dotless initials (Smith J F)
(x) Surname + pure initials (Smith JF)
(y) Surname + spaceless initials (Smith J.F.)
(a) Only first name reversed, initials (AGU style: Smith, J. F., H. K. Jones)
(b) First name reversed, with full names (Smith, John Fred, Harry Kab Jones)
Select:

That did it. Thanks.
I think I'm going to have to learn some slightly lower level latex so
that I can figure that sort of thing out for myself.
