BibTeX Style File for ANS Publications

The .bst file in this repository can be used as a style file when preparing manuscripts for publications by the American Nuclear Society using LaTeX. This includes the following publications:

• Nuclear Science and Engineering
• Nuclear Technology
• Fusion Science and Technology
• Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

To use the style file, copy it to the directory where your LaTeX source is and add the following line to your source:

\bibliographystyle{ans}

ans-bibtex-style's Issues

Year for books

The year for a @book entry should be surrounded by parentheses.

Commas after title

For articles, the comma following the title should come inside quotes, i.e.

P. ROMANO, "Some Awesome Discovery," J. Discoveries, 5, 135 (2012).
rather than
P. ROMANO, "Some Awesome Discovery", J. Discoveries, 5, 135 (2012).

This turns out to be a little complicated to fix because of the way that FUNCTION{output.nonnull} writes commas and periods. Ideally, you could add a section that checks if the last character in the formatted title is a string, but the way that substring$ works makes it difficult to do this since it ignores braces and LaTeX quotes are considered single characters. One possible fix is to get rid of all the new.block functions, but this will involve some pretty drastic changes to the file.

@techreport entries fail on compilation

Line 1541 seems to be the offending line:

  " " * format.date paren * "year" output.check

Number field for @article

@wbinventor reports that the @Article type does not display the 'number' field when given. The proper format should be:

volume, number, first page (year).

Proper formatting for @inproceedings

These references should start with Proc. and continue with the name of the conference.
