How to hide a literature reference in the bibliography? (to prevent repetition of author and year)

Question

I'm using bibtex with the 'apalike' citation style and wondering if there is an option in the setting or a way to customize the apalike.bst to get the following output:

In the chapter: the literature reference should include the name of the author and the year of publication like this:

[Oates, 1972]

with an option to include the page number:

[Olson, 1969, S.483]

In the bibliography: the repetition of author and year of publication should be prevented as circled in the screen shot.

Instead there should be a colon behind author and year and it should look like this:

Oates, W. E. (1972): Fiscal Federalism. New York.

Olson, M. (1969): The Principle of "Fiscal Equivalence": The Division of Responsibilities among Different Levels of Government. The American Economic Review, 59(2):479–487.

Minimal working example:

tex file

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt,  twoside, chapterprefix]{scrbook}
\begin{document}

Diese Norm geht auf Olson zurück und besagt, dass raeumliche Grenzen bezogen auf Kosten und Nutzung von Kollektivguetern notwendig sind, damit die finanzierende Einheit auch tatsaechlich davon profitiert \cite[S.483]{Olson1969}.

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{bib_example}

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}

\end{document}

bibtex file

@article{Olson1969,
author = {Olson, Mancur},
file = {:./Olson{\_}1969.pdf:pdf},
journal = {The American Economic Review},
keywords = {Democratic authority,Economic theory,Government,Jurisdiction,Local government,Logrolling,Pareto efficiency,Public goods,Subsidies,Taxes},
mendeley-tags = {Democratic authority,Economic theory,Government,Jurisdiction,Local government,Logrolling,Pareto efficiency,Public goods,Subsidies,Taxes},
number = {2},
pages = {479--487},
title = {{The Principle of "Fiscal Equivalence": The Division of Responsibilities among Different Levels of Government}},
url = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/1823700},
volume = {59},
year = {1969}
}

Thank your for your help.

The apalike bibliography style has been around, more or less unchanged, since 1988. Here's a quote from the preamble of the file apalike.bst:

This style should be used with the 'apalike' LaTeX [package] (apalike.sty).

You should load either the apalike package (which is rather outdated) or the natbib package (which is a lot more modern) to make the square bracket stuff go away.

If you use the natbib citation management package, you can use the \citep instruction to generate "parenthetis-style" citation call-outs.

If you need to generate citation call-outs and a formatted bibliography according to current APA guidelines, as opposed to those that were in effect in the late 1980s, you should probably switch to the apacite package and the apacite bibliography style.
