I am using natbib for APA style in my bibliography, but i want to change




A and B. (2018). Abc.




into




A & B. (2018). Abc.




I know I have to copy apalike.bst into my working directory and edit it. But I don't know which part that I have to edit. Please help.



Note:
There is this similar question here but it seems I can't find it in apalike.bst

  • If you really need actual APA style, why don't you use the apacite package with the [natbibapa] option and the apacite bibliography style. This implements a pretty good APA 6 style.

  • I can't because of the requirement. Actually I want to use apacite too, but unfortunately apacite is not in the list of allowed package, and the only possible package is natbib

  • If apacite is not allowed, are you sure you're allowed to use a non-standard .bst file?

There are two functions that need to be changed in your copy of apalike.bst, (I strongly recommend giving it a new name, like apalike-ampersand.bst) one for the label names (i.e., in text citations) FUNCTION {format.lab.names} and one for the reference list names, FUNCTION {format.names}.



In the function {format.lab.names} change the line:



{ " and " * s #2 "{vv~}{ll}" format.name$ * }


to



{ " & " * s #2 "{vv~}{ll}" format.name$ * }


In the function {format.names} change the line:



{ " and " * t * }


to



{ " & " * t * }


This should do what you want.

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
