8.2 Basic BibTeX style files
============================
Here are descriptions of the four standard and four semi-standard basic
BibTeX styles. 'CTAN:/biblio/bibtex' contains these and many more (for
CTAN info, ⇒(kpathsea)unixtex.ftp).
'plain'
Sorts entries alphabetically, with numeric labels. Generally
formatted according to van Leunen's 'A Handbook for Scholars'. The
other style files listed here are based on 'plain'.
'abbrv'
First names, month names, and journal names are abbreviated.
'acm'
Names are printed in small caps.
'alpha'
Alphanumeric labels, e.g., 'Knu66'.
'apalike'
No labels at all; instead, the year appears in parentheses after
the author. Use this in conjunction with 'apalike.tex' (plain TeX)
or 'apalike.sty' (LaTeX), which also changes the citations in the
text to be '(AUTHOR, YEAR)'.
'ieeetr'
Numeric labels, entries in citation order, IEEE abbreviations,
article titles in quotes.
'siam'
Numeric labels, alphabetic order, 'Math. Reviews' abbreviations,
names in small caps.
'unsrt'
Lists entries in citation order, i.e., unsorted.
'btxbst.doc'
The template file and documentation for the standard styles.
