GOST is a bundle of BibTEX styles to format references according to the State Standards on information, librarianship and publishing (GOST) issued by The Russian Federation and Interstate Committee of former USSR States.
Current version is 1.2k, 2020.12.25.
Released under the LaTeX Project Public License v1.3c or later See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt

The System of State Standards includes:
GOST 7.80 -2000 Bibliographic record.
Heading. General requirements and rules.
GOST 7.83 -2001 Electronic editions. Basic types and imprint.
GOST 7.1 -2003 Bibliographic record.
Bibliographic description.
General requirements and rules.
GOST 7.11 -2004 Bibliographic description and references.
Rules for the abbreviation of words and word
combinations in foreign European languages.
GOST 7.0.5-2008 Bibliographic reference.
General requirements and rules of making.
Etc.
Currently, GOST contains 16 BibTeX styles to format bibliography in English, Russian and Ukrainian according to GOST 7.0.5-2008 and GOST 7.1-2003. Both 8-bit and Unicode (UTF-8) versions of each BibTeX style, in each case offering a choice of sorted and unsorted.
All styles in the GOST bundle are derived from single master file
gost.dtx
by applying different set of options as shown in the table below.
Style | utf8 | strict | eprint | long | sort | natbib |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
gost2003 | + | + | ||||
gost2003s | + | + | + | |||
gost2008 | + | |||||
gost2008n | + | + | ||||
gost2008l | + | + | ||||
gost2008s | + | + | ||||
gost2008ns | + | + | + | |||
gost2008ls | + | + | + | |||
ugost2003 | + | + | + | |||

Gost2008
style is recommended for most applications. It corresponds to the
currently effective Standard 7.0.5-2008. Librarians should use the style
gost2003
instead of gost2008
to compile a library catalog to meet the
Standard 7.1-2003. Use of other styles is best explained through
the meaning of options used to compile those styles from the master source.
The strict
option provides conformance to the Standard 7.1-2003. The
bibstyles compiled with that option bear the name gost2003
with possible
suffixes s
, l
, n
as explained below. These styles are intended
primarily for the librarians who compose a library catalog.
The bibstyles compiled without strict
option meets the Standard 7.0.5-2008
which can be thought off as a relaxed version of the Standards 7.1-2003. These
bibstyles bear the name gost2008
with possible suffixes s
, l
, n
.
If the number of authors exceeds 4, modern styles cut the list of authors
to at most 4 persons as prescibed by the Standards. Option
long
overrides this rule to provide backward compatibility with the
package disser by Stanislab Kruchinin. Two styles, gost2008l
and
gost2008ls
, compiled with the option long
mimic behavior of the styles
gost705
and gost705s
from the disser package. Major
effect of the long
option is that the list of authors always
precedes book or article title no matter how long is it.
Modern styles compiled without long
place long list of authors behind
the title. The names of styles compiled with the option long
has the
suffix l
. Recall that those styles do not conform effective Standards and
their use is discouraged.
The eprint
option enables formatting electronic publications. In particular,
it enables eprint
, eprinttype
, eprintclass
, and doi
fields for a
bibliographic entry. The styles generated without the eprint
option,
ignore the these fields. Starting from the
version 1.2 of the GOST package, all modern styles are compiled with this
option included, and the suffix e
which designated
this option in earlier versions is not appended to the name of style
any more.
The natbib
option provides compatibility with the natbib
package. The names
of styles compiled with the option natbib
bear the suffix n
. Currently
4 styles with that option are available for beta testing.
The sort
option enables sorting bibliographic references by author names
and references titles. The names of styles compiled with the option sort
bear the suffix s
.
Finally, the utf8
option produces bibliographic styles in unicode rather
that in 8-bit encoding. Names of those styles bear the prefix u
.
Beyond bibliographic style, GOST bundle contains CS files (codepage and sorting order).
Encoding | CSF | Sorting order |
---|---|---|
cp866 | ruscii.csf | Cyrillic first, Latin |
cp1251 | cp1251.csf | Cyrillic first, Latin |
koi8-u | koi8u.csf | Cyrillic first, Latin |
utf8 | utf8cyrillic.csf | Cyrillic first, Latin |
In addition, BibTeX8 distribution comes with few more CSFs.
Encoding | CSF | Sorting order |
---|---|---|
cp866 | cp866rus.csf | Latin first, Cyrillic |
- Select bibliography style by adding appropriate
\bibliographystyle
declaration to your source file \file{.tex}, e.g.
\bibliographystyle{gost2008}
\bibliography{database}
-
Add the field
language="ukrainian"
orlanguage="russian"
to the bibliographic entries in Ukrainian or Russian languages in your database; English is the default language. German, Italian and French are partially supported. -
To compile list of references from your database use
bibtex8.exe
rather thanbibtex.exe
. Depending on the codepage of your bibliographic database, indicate one of the CS files listed above as option tobibtex8.exe
. Run LaTeX, then runbibTeX8
and LaTeX again:
latex <filename>.tex
bibtex8 -B -c <csf_file>.csf <filename>.aux
latex <filename>.tex
-
For details on preparing bibliographic database see examples in
gost*.pdf
andugost*.pdf
. -
ugost*
styles are primarily intended for use with unicode compilers (xelatex
andlualatex
). They should be preferred as well when using 8bit compilers (latex
andpdflatex
) if source file is inutf8
encoding. -
Neither
bibtex.exe
norbibtex8.exe
provides correct sorting order of unicode text. It means that usingugost2008s
orugost2008ns
may produce unexpected result for documents inutf8
encoding. -
Bibtex8
fails to change case of a string if it contains Cyrillic letter in unicode. Thereforeugost2008*
styles do not change case of titles and other parts of bibliographic record while 8-bit styles do the case change where appropriate. -
Either
bibtex.exe
orbibtex8.exe
fail to cut Cyrillic names to initials. Thereforeugost2008*
styles do not modify name of authors. -
Package
natbib
is required when choosing styles with suffixn
in their names.
Every GOST style defines few commands to format some parts of a
reference. You can redefine these commands prior to
the \bibliography{<bibtex_style>}
command. Initial
definitions are listed below.
\providecommand*{\url}[1]{{\small #1}}
\providecommand*{\BibUrl}[1]{\url{#1}}
\providecommand{\BibAnnote}[1]{}
\providecommand*{\BibEmph}[1]{#1}
By default, gost styles separate logical parts of a bibliography
record by a period and cyrdash (. "---
). It is legitimate to drop
that dash by overriding the command \BibDash
as follows
\providecommand*{\BibDash}{}
By default, \BibDash
is equivalent to the shorthand "---
defined by the babel package with the option russian
.
It prints a so called Cyrillic dash (\cyrdash
),
which is 20 % shorter then ordinary LaTeX dash (---
), and puts
unbreakable space before \cyrdash
so that dash never appears
in the beginning of a line.
