I am new to latex and academic writing. I have encountered latex doing this with just \bibliographystyle{apalike} and bibliography{}. I think I have seen this [author, year] style in the reference list before. I am not sure. Note: I have not put up any in-text citations. Is there any style that does this? What is it called? And if not why does latex do it? btw it's done with bibtexenter image description here I have taken the image from another question posted here a month ago: Bibliography style: Author-name in square bracket in references list

  • Welcome to TeX.SE. I think the output you show is not only due to the use of the apalike bibliography style but, importantly, to a failure to use a citation management package such as apalike or natbib. The underlining, on the other hand, is most likely due to the ulem package being loaded without the option normalem. Given that at least two questionable decisions had to be made to arrive at the result shown in the screenshot, I wouldn't recommend emulating this "look". – Mico Nov 23 '23 at 09:01
  • Thank you. For the quick response. Yes, I don't like it either. I thought since there weren't any errors maybe it was some sort of reference style that I didn't know of . Anyway, thanks for the clarification. I'll try and figure out what can be done. Thank you. – BND Nov 23 '23 at 09:06
