How to arrage author name and surname?

Post by HypnosiS »

Hello,

This is my first time using bibtex. I search it everywhere in google and this forum but couldnt find it.

This is my main file:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib}
\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
\newcommand{\BibTeX}{{\sc Bib}\TeX}

\begin{document}
....
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{sample}
\end{document}
and this is my .bib file:

Code: Select all

@article{san97,
	author = "Santomero, A.M. and Babbel, D.F.",
	title = "Risk Management by Insurers: An Analysis of the Process",
	year = "1997",
	journal = "The Journal of Risk and Insurance",
	volume = "64",
	number = "2",
	pages = "231--270"
}
This is my output:
A.M. Santomero and D.F. Babbel. Risk management by insurers: An analysis of the process. The Journal of Risk and Insurance, 64(2):231-270, 1997.
But I want to write Surname, Name. I want to see them as how I write in .bib file.
I want this:
Santomero, A.M. and Babbel, D.F. Risk management by insurers: An analysis of the process. The Journal of Risk and Insurance, 64(2):231-270, 1997.
Could anyone help me? :cry:

Hello there,

I think you can solve this issue by chaing the bibliography style you are using. For example, if you use

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
insead of

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plainint}
then, your problem is solved.

Cheers,
If there is no way, we will make one...

Now, how to change it to:
Santomero, A.M. and Babbel, D.F., 1997, Risk management by insurers: An analysis of the process, The Journal of Risk and Insurance, 64(2):231-270.
