I am trying to conform to the bibliography style guide for the journal International Interactions. I can't find a standard bibliography style that fits their criteria. It's similar to APA (e.g., year in parentheses after the author block), but they want no comma after the journal name, they want the first names spelled out, and they want a dot ("period") at the end of the author block (and immediately before the year).
I've tried setting the bibliography style as apalike
, newapa
, and maybe 50 others, but none seem to both make the first names spelled out and remove the comma after the journal name. I found one (forgot which) that did those things but then made the journal number bold. The style that seems closest to what they want is apalike
, but it has the comma after journal name and shortens the author first names in the bibliography to initials.
I'm hoping there's an easy solution. I'm using TeXworks on a Mac, and natbib
, my sources are in BidDesk.
Thanks!
Here's a MWEB:
\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[longnamesfirst]{natbib}
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{graham2005economic,
title={The economic implications of corporate financial reporting},
author={Graham, John R and Harvey, Campbell R and Rajgopal, Shiva},
journal={Journal of Accounting and Economics},
volume={40},
number={1},
pages={3--73},
year={2005},
publisher={Elsevier}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{document}
Let's cite \cite{graham2005economic}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
My in-text citation call-outs are fine. My book entries seem fine, except the first name should be spelled out. The articles need first name spelled out, no punctuation after the journal title, and a period after the author block.
Here is how they want books:
Anderson, Benedict. (1983) Imagined Communities. Revised edition. London: Verso.
Here is how they want articles:
Anderson, Benedict. (1983) The New World Disorder. New Left Review 193(6):3–13.

bibliography style inserts a comma, not a period, after the name of the journal. You should provide a link to the webpage that lists the formatting requirements exhaustively.apalike
