How to hide titles in the bibliography

Question

Is there any option where I can choose the name of a bib entry to appear in the bibliography or not?

E.g. I have in mybib.bib

 @article{EMS,
    title = "Eat my shorts",
    journal = "Shelbyville Magazine",
    volume = "123",
    pages = "13 - 14",
    year = "2042",
    author = "B.Simpson",
}

Then this:

\documentclass[preprint,3p,times,twocolumn]{elsarticle}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

\begin{document}

Lalal \cite{EMS} lalal.

\bibliography{MYBIB}{}

\end{document}

results in this output:

Lalal [1] lalal.

[1] B.Simpson. Eat my shorts. Shelbyville Magazine, 123:13 – 14,

2042.

but I would like to have

Lalal [1] lalal.

[1] B.Simpson. Shelbyville Magazine, 123:13 – 14, 2042.

Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — Henri Menke, Dec 06 '16 at 21:15
This is completely up to the bibtex style, so you will have to find one that can or modify an existing one (under a new name). — daleif, Dec 07 '16 at 10:30
@daleif where can I find one? I was already looking for different styles, but all I found do include the title in the bibliography — 463035818_is_not_a_number, Dec 07 '16 at 10:31
I don't know any, it is not a usual request. BTW: if you are using elsarticle to write an article to, say, an Elsevier journal, then use a bibtex style they recommend, you are not the one determining the layout and what should or should not be printed. As a reader, I'd like to know the title of the things that are cited. — daleif, Dec 07 '16 at 10:36

Use a suitable bibliography style like apsrev; in the example code I use filecontents*, but it's just for making the example self-contained. You can see that it is an “unsorted” style.

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{EMS,
    title = {Eat my shorts},
    journal = {Shelbyville Magazine},
    volume = {123},
    pages = {13-14},
    year = {2042},
    author = {B. Simpson},
}
@article{ABC,
    title = {Whatever},
    journal = {Journal},
    volume = {123},
    pages = {13-14},
    year = {2042},
    author = {A. Uthor},
}
@article{DEF,
    title = {Whatever},
    journal = {Journal},
    volume = {123},
    pages = {13-14},
    year = {2042},
    author = {W. Riter},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[preprint,3p,times,twocolumn]{elsarticle}
\bibliographystyle{apsrev}

\begin{document}

Lalal \cite{EMS} lalal \cite{ABC} lalal \cite{DEF}

\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}
