Hello:
I'm trying to format an article for submission to PLoS One.
I'm using their BiBTeX style sheet (http://www.plosone.org/static/
plos2009.bst) and the bibliography works fine but I get "
(author?)" errors in the text when trying to cite an article as
Author [ID]. Apparently, this is because their style file isn't a
Natbib style,
No, this is not correct. That style is a natbib style. It was made by
custom bib which supports natbib. The beginning of the bst file indicates
this:
"%%
%% This is file `PLoS.bst',
%% generated with the docstrip utility.
%%
%% The original source files were:
%%
%% merlin.mbs (with options: ..."
Hmm? The fact that it is generated by a tool that /can/ produce fully
compatible natbib styles does not make this style a natbib style. It is
a plain LaTeX style, with no additional packages required, just like
plain.bst or unsrt.bst, so let's not call it something else. Natbib
/will/ be able to use it to produce purely numerical citations, but the
same is true for the standard plain.bst or unsrt.bst, and one wouldn't
call those "natbib" styles.
Regards,
Julien
