I write a thesis and according to my university rules, the style of the references should be as in the below image:
I tried many styles, but could not find the right style as in the above image, how can I build a custom style or modify an existing style to meet the previous style?
Edit
I use natbib with these options
\usepackage[numbers,square,authoryear,sort&compress]{natbib}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
and the current style is abbrvnat
the required style is:
- For papers: last name first name middle name,"title of paper", journal name, volume , pages, year.
- For thesis or dissertations: last name first name middle name,"title of thesis or dissertation", type of the thesis (i.e. M.Sc or Ph.D.), department , university name, year.
For books: last name first name middle name,"title of book (underline)", edition, publisher, year.
- the first and middle names written in abbreviation.
- the year written between parentheses.
- if there is an URL then it would be embed in journal name, publisher or in university name.
this is a simple of the .bib file,
@Book{harnoy,
title = {Bearing design in machinery},
publisher = {Marcel Dekker},
year = {2003},
author = {Harnoy, Avraham},
place = {New York},
}
@PhdThesis{Qiu,
author = {Zhi Ling Qiu},
title = {A theoritical and Experimental Study on the Caharacteristics of Journal Bearings},
school = {Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Wollongong},
year = {1995},
type = {Doctor of Philosophy thesis},
}
@article{yang,
doi = {10.1177/1350650111431526},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1350650111431526},
year = {2012},
month = {jan},
publisher = {{SAGE} Publications},
volume = {226},
number = {4},
pages = {328--339},
author = {W. Weimin and Y. Lihua and W. Tiejun and Y. Lie},
title = {Nonlinear dynamic coefficients prediction of journal bearings using partial derivative method},
journal = {Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology}
}

biblatexvs.natbib/cite/other BibTeX-packages)? How do in-text citations look like? Do you have anything to start from, so we don't have to start from scratch. You might also want to give us some.bibitems to play around with. (An MWE would be great.) Please note also that on this page questions such as "write this style for me" are often too broad, it is often more useful to focus on specific properties of the style (many aspects of your style will have been dealt with before). – moewe Aug 27 '16 at 05:24-("dash", "hyphen") is used as the connector. In other entries, such as those by El-Ayachi et al. and by Ghazanfarian and Abbassi, the character that's in use looks like either an en-dash (which would be appropriate) or a math-minus sign (which would not be appropriate). Do you want to replicate these inconsistencies? If not, which stylistic choice should be made? – Mico Aug 27 '16 at 07:06abbrvnat, but it didn't give what I need, I added the required style to the equation, please take a look of the edited part. – Muhammad Abdulrasool Aug 27 '16 at 08:23makebstutility, which is part of the custom-bib package. With this utility, you can create your own completely tailored bst file which, as a bonus, will work very well with thenatbibcitation management package. – Mico Aug 27 '16 at 09:13,between the names (I will update the question), the comma is used to separate between the different kinds of the reference parts. And third, perhaps if you can show me how to do the above 3-types then I can modify the other different types. – Muhammad Abdulrasool Aug 27 '16 at 09:35makebstutility that's mentioned by Alan Munn in the answer he provided in the earlier posting. You will get the bst file you really need must faster that way. – Mico Aug 27 '16 at 09:46
