Dear all
I have created the master document and am now creating the bibliography for all the chapter in one document. I would like to know if there is a way we can format the biblio so that it is sorted alphabetically and yet the citation style is numbered. I can get the citation style numberd but it is not sorted alphabetically. how do I go about doing it. Thanks
Hey Leanne, thanks… but that was not what I am looking for. I have cited it in the word document, but in the word doc, they are not arranged alphabetically according to the author, they are arranged according to the numbers. I do not want that, I want the biblio to be arranged alphabetically, and cited liek this [1], [2], instead, when they are sorted alphabetically, the author’s name and the year appears like this,((Taylor., Green. et al. 1997) … I do not want this, I want the [1] and the references alphabetically. Can someone help.
In fact, I quickly checked IEEE style standard for 2009, and they changed the author format to Surname, Given name with period (SG1 format of my definition). You could change the template Leanne pointed such that the author format reflect the new standard. However, there are numerous IEEE journals, and I don’t think all the IEEE journals change bibliographic format at the same time, so check your journal’s specific instruction first.
Generally, when bibliography is formatted by alphabetically, author format is Surname-Given name order (SG format). And the in-text citation is (author year) style (commonly known as “Harvard style”). Old IEEE style uses GS1 format, which means the bibliography authors are listed by given name, then the in-text citation is numbered style.
