My output is: enter image description here

But I need this format: enter image description here

That is, I have:

journal name, page, No.5: (1987)

and I need removal of bold in the number and No., removal of colon (:) after the number, and removal of the comma between journal and page number. The result is:

journal name page, No. 5 (1987)

I am completely new to this, how to change the .bst functions to get the desired output?

    A priori, replace volume = {\textbf{8}} with volume=8. – Bernard Sep 22 '22 at 22:05
  • 2
    in the bst, in FUNCTION {format.vol.num.pages}, remove the line that says bolden. – Lupino Sep 22 '22 at 22:07
  • Besides Lupino solution, you can also edit FUNCTION {bolden} altering "\textbf{" swap$ * "}" removing between quotes and checking the syntax (I can't say if it will not give some error, I should test it, sorry). Editing the FUNCTION {bolden} will remove bold from every other kind of entry that calls this FUNCTION. – FHZ Sep 22 '22 at 22:49
  • @Lupino It undoes bolden throughout, including volume, i.e 32 in the second fig... also the colon is not removed after the number. – S.S Sep 22 '22 at 23:25
  • @FHZ would really appreciate it to be elaborated into an answer, tried but it didn't work for me. – S.S Sep 22 '22 at 23:30

How to proceed when you must edit an bst.

  1. Keep calm and Tame The BeaST
  2. Read about RPN (Reverse Polish Notation)
  3. Create a copy of the original bst
  4. Don't be afraid ot insert any nonsense set of letters to find out what does what.

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\bibliographystyle{mybst}
\def\bibcommenthead{}
\begin{document}
  \nocite{*}
  \bibliography{test.bib}
\end{document}

And let me use the same test.bib I used in this other answer, with your reference zadeh1965.

Let's Tame the BeaST

Basic we are editing functions called by the function FUNCTION {article}, starting at line 857, or functions called by that function and so on.

The original result is:

enter image description here


For reference, the first line is the line with ENTRY. I'll present the line and respective FUNCTION, then the line and original content to be changed and the new content.

Changing bold for all

Line 155: FUNCTION {bolden}

Change line 158: { "\textbf{" swap$ * "}" * } into: { "{" swap$ * "}" * }.

enter image description here


colon

Line 601: FUNCTION {format.journal.pages}

Change line 606: ": " * into: " " *

enter image description here


comma

Now let's finish removing the comma between journal and volume number.

Line 36: FUNCTION {output.nonnull} Change line 39: { ", " * write$ } into: { " " * write$ }

enter image description here

  • @S.S., please let me know if you could perform the editions I propose and these editions had the effect the pictures show. Any doubts, don't hesitate in asking for clarifications. – FHZ Sep 23 '22 at 04:57
  • from their answer to my comment, i believe that the OP wants the volume field to still be bold-faced, so redefining the BOLDEN macro goes a bit too far, imo. – Lupino Sep 23 '22 at 05:43

    @FHZ thanks a ton for your answer, took idea to further replace the dots by commas after author name and title in zadeh1965, also I emboldened the volume field. patting myself! – S.S Sep 23 '22 at 09:25
  • @S.S., oh, I'm totally sorry about where should and should not be bold, I removed \textbf from bolden, so all bolds are not applied. To apply for a subset of entry types, remove where function bolden is called. – FHZ Sep 23 '22 at 14:19
