Change definition of \sameauthors to turn off by same dash

I am using the amsart class and bibtex with the amsplain style. I have a bibliography file which is called whenever I use the bibtex command. (I run LaTeX through Winedt). In my references, if an author occurs more than once, the name is replaced with a straight line on all subsequent repeats. The journal I am submitting to wants the author name for every reference. Does anybody know how I suppress the dash feature, so it prints the full name of the author for every reference?

  • Just put the author's name between { } and everything goes well. – Mr. Proof Jan 22 '23 at 07:41

The amsplain bibliography style, as the name suggests, is very similar to the plain BibTeX style and suitable to AMS publications. We just need to use plain instead of amsplain. :)

\begin{filecontents*}{mybibfile.bib}
@book{Knuth:2005:ACP:1036677,
 author = {Knuth, Donald E.},
 title = {The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4,  Fascicle 3: Generating All Combinations and Partitions},
 year = {2005},
 isbn = {0201853949},
 publisher = {Addison-Wesley Professional},
} 

@book{Knuth:1998:ACP:280635,
 author = {Knuth, Donald E.},
 title = {The art of computer programming,  volume 3: (2nd ed.) sorting and searching},
 year = {1998},
 isbn = {0-201-89685-0},
 publisher = {Addison Wesley Longman Publishing Co., Inc.},
 address = {Redwood City, CA, USA},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{amsart}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{#1.}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybibfile}

\end{document}

With amsplain:

amsplain

And with plain:

plain

I had to do this dirty trick:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{#1.}
\makeatother

otherwise, our output would have [1] instead of 1.:

plain 2

Hope it helps. :)
