bibtex configuration to match Elsevier's reference requirements

Question

I need to configure my bibtex file to match Elsevier's reference requirement (look for number 10). For example:

For periodicals

Griffiths, W. and G. Judge, 1992, Testing and estimating location vectors when the error covariance matrix is unknown. Journal of Econometrics 54, 121-138.

My current bibtex file looks like this:

    @ARTICLE{Adrian2008,
  AUTHOR =       {Adrian, T., Rosenberg, J.,},
  TITLE =        {Stock Returns and Volatility: Pricing the Short-Run and Long-Run Components of Market Risk},
  JOURNAL =      {Journal of Finance},
  YEAR =         {2008},
  volume =       {63},
  pages =        {2997-3030}
}

And inside my main document, I refer to my bibtex file as:

\begingroup
\let\itshape\upshape  %I use this to remove the italics. 

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{lit3}

\endgroup

Following my example above, it generates this reference format:

T. Adrian and J. Rosenberg. Stock returns and volatility: Pricing the short-run and long-run components of market risk. Journal of Finance, 63:2997–3030, 2008.

How can I make the changes to my bibtex file in order to match Elsevier's requirements?

Answer 1

Elsevier provides some bibliography styles; the one that seems to match the recommendations is elsarticle-harv.

\documentclass[authoryear]{elsarticle}
\begin{document}

\cite{Adrian2008}

\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-harv}
\bibliography{plug4}

\end{document}

Note that your author field is wrong, for the authors should be separated by and.

@article{Adrian2008,
  author  = {Adrian, T. and Rosenberg, J.},
  journal = {Journal of Finance},
  pages   = {2997-3030},
  title   = {Stock Returns and Volatility: Pricing the Short-Run and Long-Run Components of Market Risk},
  volume  = {63},
  year    = {2008},
}
