SCM-BibTeX

A BibTeX style for Science China of Mathematics

As the style of SCM is quite weird, and it is suggested by official to write bibliography items by hand. Why not to use the MathSciNet bibtex data and take the advantage of bibtex? I try to complement the style file of bibtex, i.e., scm.bst which is based on vancouver.bst.

Usage

Just take a look at the file test/SCM-bibtex.tex and change the data file SCM.bib. Then run latex command as follows:

1. run xelatex your-latex-source-file.tex;
2. run bibtex your-latex-source-file.aux;
3. fix all error if there has any (the main error related to the publisher field, see BUGS for more infomation);
4. run bibtex your-latex-source-file.aux again;
5. If you'd like to combine the bib and tex into one file, copy the content of your-latex-source-file.bbl into your-latex-source-file.tex just before the \end{document} and comment out two lines as

%\bibliographystyle{scm}
%\bibliography{SCM}

Bugs

I just hard-code the functions of vancouver.bst, so there must be some bugs, please post an issue for any question!

Known bugs

As I use the format.names$ function to transform the publisher without address into the form

Address: publisher this may not work properly. To fix it, try to add {} to reduce the commas. e.g.,

...
  PUBLISHER  = {Academic Press, Inc., [Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Publishers],
                  New York},
...

should be fixed by

...
  PUBLISHER  = {Academic Press Inc. {[Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Publishers]},
                  New York},
...
