About

This package provides Chicago BibTeX reference style (spr-chicago.bst) for Springer journals. There are also included few example files (.tex, .bib, .pdf) showing how to use BibTeX style file and how it would look like.

Contents

The following files are given in the repository (or directly in .zip archive):

• chicago-bibstyle.sty - LaTeX macro commands for Chicago bibliography;
• spr-chicago.bst - BibTeX style for author-year (see below) citations;
• template.tex - template file;
• template.pdf - journal sample article with APS bibliography;
• example.bib - BibTeX database file.

Setup

• Clone the repository or download the .zip archive;
• Install spr-chicago.bst and chicago-bibstyle.sty in your LaTeX system or place them in the same directory where your .tex file is;
• use the file template.tex to start your article as a template;
• Important: template.tex uses svjour3.cls LaTeX style file which you should download from Springer site.

Comments

Default citation style is author-year (i.e. nameyear option). But there is also a possibility to choose other citation style. You can select it by writing an entry @settings to the .bib file. That entry should have a field - options, with a value of citation style.

Available options:

• alpha – alphanumerical citation style (e.g., [Ru01])
• number – number citation style (e.g., [5])
• nameyear – author-year citation style (e.g., (Rudin, 2001) or Rudin (2001))
• unsort – turn off sorting (reference list is sorted by default)
• nodoi – do not print DOI (DOI is printed by default)

Example 1: Choosing a number citation style.

@settings{label,
    options = "number"
}

Example 2: Choosing an alphanumerical citation style and not sorting references.

@settings{label,
    options = "alpha,unsort"
}

label can be any word, but all references labels have to be unique!

Important: you need to write \nocite{label} in your .tex file, otherwise @settings will not become effective (unless you use \nocite{*}, which will make a list of all the references appearing in .bib file(s)).

Example 3: Turning on @settings via .tex file.

bibfile.bib
  @settings{some_label, ....}

texfile.tex
  ....
  \nocite{some_label}
  \bibliographystyle{spr-chicago}
  \bibliography{bibfile}
