Hi!

 

I have to format my references in bibtex to what the editor of a book wants. He needs:

 - if>  3 authors need to put first author and then et al in text.
 - if<  or equal to 3 I need to put all authors.

In the list of references I need:

Coleman, W. G. and G.M. Cox (1957)  etc

Not Coleman, W. G. and Cox, G.M. (1957) 

Peter suggested I use APA style so I have used:

 \usepackage[round]{natbib}

\bibliographystyle{newapa}

\bibliography{model}

 

whether I use "newapa", "apalike" or "plainnat" I am getting the same bibliography so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks

 

Jo

That's not what I meant. That's natbib, not APA.

But I was wrong, APA seems to use Author, Inits for all authors, whereas you want Author, Inits for the first and Inits Author for the rest. That looks like Chicago to me:


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chicago}
\begin{document}
I reference \cite{markup-interp,maler,barnard}
\bibliographystyle{chicago}
\bibliography{model}
\end{document}

I just tested it with this model.bib:

@article{markup-interp,
 author      = {CM Sperberg-McQueen and Claus Huitfeld and Allen Renear},
 title      = {{Meaning and interpretation of Markup}},
 journal      = {{Markup Languages}},
 volume      = 2,
 number      = 3,
 pages      = {215--234},
 publisher      = {MIT Press},
 year      = 2000
}
@book{maler,
 author      = {Eve Maler and Jeanne {el Andaloussi}},
 title      = {{Developing SGML DTDs: from Text to Model to Markup}},
 publisher      = {Prentice-Hall},
 address      = {Upper Saddle River, NJ},
 year      = 1999,
 isbn      = 0133098818
}
@incollection{barnard,
 author      = {David Barnard and Lou Burnard and Jean-Pierre Gaspart
                    and Lynne A Price and CM Sperberg-McQueen and Giovanni
                    Battista Varile},
 title      = {{Hierarchical Encoding of Text: Technical Problems and SGML
             Solutions}},
 booktitle      = {{Text Encoding Initiative: Background and Context}},
 editor      = {Nancy Ide and Jean V\'eronis},
 publisher      = {Kluwer Academic Publishers},
 address      = {Dordrecht},
 year      = 1995,
 isbn      = 0792336895,
 pages      = {211--231}
}

That seems to work OK.
