I need to cite something for school in a very specific style. In the Bibliography it should appear as:
SURNAME, Name: Title. Subtitle. (X. Edition). Place: Publisher Year.
I already have it down to
SURNAME, Name, Title. Xth Edition. Place: Publisher, Year.
What needs to change is that
- there should be a colon after the name,
- the edition number should be in round brackets and
- preferably the title shouldn't be in italics (although that isn't necessary)
In the footnote it should appear as:
Surname, Name: Title
I already have:
SURNAME, Title
What needs to change is that
- the Surname shouldn't be capitalised
- and it's missing the first name of the author,
- as well as a colon before the title
I have used:
\renewcommand{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
\DeclareNameAlias{default}{family-given}
to capitalise the Surname (although I only want that in the Bibliography) and switch first and last name of the authors.
I am using biblatex
with BibTeX backend and the style authortitle
.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=authortitle]{biblatex}
\renewcommand{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
\DeclareNameAlias{default}{family-given}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{key,
author = {last, first},
year = {2001},
title = {Title},
publisher = {Publisher},
edition = 3,
address = {a},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\footcite[][15]{key}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
biblatex
and thenatbib
tags: Do you use thebiblatex
package, or do you use thenatbib
citation management package? Please advise. Also, should surnames be capitalized in the citation call-outs as well. And, should there be a space, a comma, or some other punctuation mark between "Publisher" and "Year". Finally, what about other entry types, say,@article
or@inproceedings
?@book
should be formatted. And, do state how surnames should be formatted in citation call-outs -- assuming that some kind of authoryear-style citation format is called for.@articles
should be formatted as: SURNAME, Name: Title. In:(Where it was published).Year,pages. I think that covers the things I need, as I very much doubt I'll be using@inproceedings
in my technical work. I am not a native speaker, could you explain, what a citation call out is? (Is it the one in the footnote, the one in the text or the one at the end?)biblatex
