I noticed a bug in the PhDbiblio-url2 bibliography style (http://openwetware.org/wiki/LaTeX_template_for_PhD_thesis) when it comes to single authors: Instead of setting the article title in bold font instead the style sets % bf in the bibliography entries.

Example:

J. V. Barth. % bf Transport of Adsorbates at Metal Surfaces: From Thermal Migration to Hot Precursors. Surface Science Reports, 40(3-5):75-149, October 2000.

This only occurs when articles only have a single author, whereas it works fine for all other entries.

Does anybody have any ideas why this occurs and how to fix it possibly?

Hmm, I looked through the code of phdbiblio-url2.bst, and there seems to be no reason why bibtex wouldn't give single-authored pieces the same formatting treatment as it does for multi-author pieces. Could you provide some more information about the version of TeX and the operating system you use. A full MWE (minimum working example) that replicates the problem would be most helpful. – Mico Nov 4 '11 at 13:46
Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. – Stephen Nov 4 '11 at 18:03
Hi, I haven't really figured out what's going wrong here, but going through my MWE I had, the problem disappeared when I removed the URL link in the bibliography file. So it looks like there is some sort of problem with embedding a URL link for the reference, however just removing the hyperlink is fine for now, since they won't matter in the print version anyways. Maybe I'll look into it again at some point, but for now I'll just use the workaround. Thanks, Wolfi – Wolfi Nov 7 '11 at 14:46
