# How to modify numeric-comp style in biblatex

How can I modify the numeric-comp style in biblatex to achieve the following kind of bibliography:

D. Goss, A simple approach to the analytic continuation and values at the negative integers for the Riemann zeta function, Proc. Am. Math. Soc., 81, no. 4 (1981), 513-517.

Right now due to some internet problem I am unable to install additional packages, so I am limited to using the standard packages. I took a look at the other answers on this website but either they require me to install some additional package or they are not suitable for me.

Currently, what I get is:

David Goss. "A simple approach to the analytic continuation and values at the negative integers for the Riemann zeta function". In: Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 81.4 (1981), pp 513-517.

Thanks

• Without anything to test: \DeclareFieldFormat{title}{#1} and \renewbibmacro{in:}{} – Johannes_B Jun 5 '15 at 11:27

This should do what you want. It took me too long to see all the minor differences. Please ask only one thing at the time, this is no custom-bib service.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=numeric-comp,firstinits=true]{biblatex}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\textbf{#1}}
\renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{%
\printfield{volume}%
\iffieldundef{number}{}{%
}%
\printfield{number}%
\printfield{eid}}

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[type=article]
\end{document}


This code seems to produce what you want:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{mynum-compbib.bib}
@article{ruoff,
author = "David Goss",
title = "A simple approach to the analytic continuation and values at the negative integers for the Riemann zeta function",
journal= "Proc. Am. Math. Soc.",
volume = "81",
number = "4",
pages = "513--517",
year = 1981,
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[style=numeric-comp,firstinits=true]{biblatex}

\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchbibmacro{journal+issuetitle}{%
\usebibmacro{journal}%
}{%
\usebibmacro{journal}%
}{}{}

\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\textbf{#1}}

\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%

\renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{%
