[comp.text.tex] cross between apa and csbibib styles needed

nbeck@weber.ucsd.edu (Nathaniel Beck) (12/03/90)

I am new to this group so please forgive if this is one of the
frequent stupid questions (though I did check the frequent questions
file and clarkson archive with no success)

The journals I write for use apa style (not my fault). Well they
almost use apastyle in that they allow citations like

As Smith (1923) has shown

apalike.sty forces you to get

As Smith (Smith,1929) has shown

Now cslibib is pretty close, but it doesn't put a period after the
journal

and you can't (I don't think) get cites

like

According to Smith (1947:32-33)

So if anyone out there knows of a .sty and .bst file that does these
things, I would love to hear about them

The journals are American Political Science Review and other PS
journals - I think that American Economic Review uses same style

Thanks in advance
