On

On the side escapades and shenanigans.

I'm obviously new to this. :P

Sample thesis documents

• Lincoln (Sub/section numbers OUTSIDE margins)
• Melbourne (Minion Title Page)

myapalike.bst

This was an edit of the apalike.bst file to look like Plant Physiology referencing ouput.

Some concerns:

• The .bib file accompanying this referencing style should have the number = {} entry empty for @article types.
• Names having van de/der should be written in the .bib file like {van der Graaf}, Bjorn J since there is a bug where the style file recognises the name van Surname and writes it as such but does not recognise the van de/der and writes it as vande/der Surname without any space between the van and de/der. So the fix is to write the surname in curly brackets as you want them to appear in the referencing, as shown above.
• Abbreviated journal names should also be used in the journal = {} entry

The reference entry for journal articles comes out as:

Surname FMI, Second FMI, Third, FM (YYYY) The title of the journal article. Abbreviated Name of the Journal. vol: pp–pp

Example:

Atmodjo MA, Hao Z, Mohnen D (2013) Evolving views of pectin biosynthesis. Annu Rev Plant Biol. 64: 747–779

The codes here are provided free of charge with no strings attached whatsoever—one can tweak and revise and even pass it on as theirs to their heart's content—BUT I'm not liable for any error whatsoever, ergo, don't blame me if it does not work. As it stands, the whole thing is buggy, and one can clean it up if they wish to—that would be more awesome in fact.

Enjoy. ☺
