OXFORD STYLE PACKAGE

by Peter Antman

This is the oxford bst style package, version 0.4. It is a bibtex style geared at citations for the humanities.

STYLE

The oxford style implements the oxford style interpreted through the eye of a swede working in the fields of the history of ideas. The style is based on Harvard.sty and a heavily hacked bst-file generated with custom-bib. It currently only supports \cite[]{} and \cite{} and only in abrevation mode.

The form of the bibitem entries is

\harvarditem[Jones, STITLE]{Jones, TITLE .... (PUBLISH:ADRESS, YEAR)}{1990}{key} Brian Jones, TITLE ... (PUBLISH:ADRESS, YEAR).

The style gives the full reference att the first citation and then an abrevated one. The file suports an additional entry in the bib-file, stitle (short title). It is used in the abrevated citation. The abrevated citation follows these rules:

If (lastname == UNIQ) {

lastname

} elsif (stitle == EXIST) {

lastname, stitle

} else { lastname, title }

oxford.sty also inserts an "ibid." if the current citation is the same as the last one.

USAGE

\usepackage[default, none]{oxford}

. . .

\bibliographystyle{oxford_xx}

where xx stands for chosen language

INSTALL

In the distibution there are only two languages directly supported: swedish and english You install the oxford package either by putting the files in places you alreday know are supported by latex, eg.:

cp oxford.sty /usr/lib/texfm/texfm/tex/latex/base

cp oxford_se.bst /usr/lib/texfm/texfm/bibtex/bst/base

cp oxford_en.bst /usr/lib/texfm/texfm/bibtex/bst/base

Or you shose another location and then has to set som environmental variables, eg.: The place you put oxford.sty have to be exported with TEXINPUTS:

export TEXINPUTS=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/local:

The place where you put the bst-files have to be exported with BSTINPUTS:

BSTINPUTS=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/bibtex/bst/oxford:

(Don´t forget the trailing colon (:)

LANGUAGE

The oxford_in.bst has support for any kind of languages. But you have to create a language version of oxford_in.bst yourself. In the directory "lang" there are translations for english, finnish, german, norsk, svenska, esperant, french, italian and spanish. All you have to do is open "oxford_in.bst" and substitute all bbl.CODE and MACRO entries with the right translations (which can be found in the mbs-files) and name the file oxford_LANG.bst
