In the following document, I use the elsarticle class and its elsarticle-num reference style. There are some minor but important issues in the output result:

  1. The first reference which is a website has two major problems.

    • The url address appears in a new line rather than being in the continuation of the first line.
    • Second, its font format differs from the others.

  2. In the 3rd reference, the year does not appear in the output.

  3. In the 4th reference, although I have written "PI" with capital letters in bib1.bib file but it appears as "pi" with lowercase words.

  • Unfortunately, I do not know how to attach my bib1.bib in the question. I can't find any option to include it in my question. – AbbasKaramali Apr 29 '18 at 08:06
  • You can just copy and paste the contents of your .bib file to your question. But please only include the entries that are relevant for your question and not all of your 234 entries. – moewe Apr 29 '18 at 08:09
  • @ moewe: I copied and pasted the contents of my bib file. Is that correct? In the question, there are 3 issues which needs all the entries. – AbbasKaramali Apr 29 '18 at 08:12

    Re issue 3): Write fuzzy {PI} sliding (and also and {DC} servomotors), see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/10772/35864. You need to protect words that must not be written in lower case from the case changing function. – moewe Apr 29 '18 at 08:15

    Re issue 2): khalil2002nonlinear is not an @article it looks more like a @book to me. – moewe Apr 29 '18 at 08:20

    Re issue 1b): You could try \usepackage{url}\urlstyle{same} but if you are submitting your manuscript to a publisher, you probably should not meddle with their design decisions. If the class typesets URL in monospace, then that happens because the publisher wants it that way. The same holds for issue 1a. You would have to modify the .bst file to change that. – moewe Apr 29 '18 at 08:26
  • @moewe: Thank you. In this case, only one question is left unanswered. – AbbasKaramali Apr 29 '18 at 08:27
  • I just want to say something probably obvious; going back to the 3rd issue and taking what @moewe said, you could just write title={{...}} instead of title={...} to protect letter cases always not even thinking about a particular word. – Boris Valderrama Jul 15 '23 at 16:05
  • @BorisValderrama Generally I would recommend against using double braces for the whole field contents since that disables the case change feature completely. It's usually much better to protect only those words that need it and turn off sentence casing on a style level. – moewe Jul 16 '23 at 19:38
