econ.bst 2.6

econ.bst version 2.6

2019-09-26: Supported the abbreviated journal names for econ-jpe.bst because JPE (Journal of Political Economy) uses abbreviated journal names.

2019-09-21: Changed the default value for bst.techrep.

Changed format.tr.number.

Added the new style econ-abbr.bst. In this style, we use abbreviated names for journal name such as "Am. Econ. Rev." for "American Economics Review". The list of abbreviated names is provided in "journal_name.xlsx".

To use abbreviated journal name, we have to hardcode the list of all abbreviated journal names in the bst file. It makes the bst file quite long. So this feature is not provided in the standard econ.bst and provided only in econ-abbr.bst (and econ-jet.bst).

Added the new style econ-aea.bst and removed econ-aer.bst. econ-aea.bst is the style for journals of AEA (American Economic Association) such as AER, JEL, and AEJ.

Added the new function bst.max.author.num. If the number of authors exceeds 12, the authors after the 2nd author are abbriviated by "et al.".

Changed the default setting of bst.url.doi to #2 (this means that only DOI is displayed if both DOI and URL fields have the values).

econ 2.5

• Added URL and DOI to techreport.
• Changed the license of econ.bst to the LaTeX Project Public License.

econ 2.4

  For this, the following functions are added: bst.use.nameorder, bst.and.nameorder, bst.cite.and.nameorder, bst.and.others.nameorder.

  For the details, see the section "Certified random order" in econ-example.pdf.
