The patch file for apsrev.bst

README.md

Even the official .bst file provided by APS in revtex4.1 is not satisfying in terms of the format of citations, including the redundant inclusion of eprint no. for published works, and super long book titles or conference titles without newlines.

Therefore, I provide a patch file here as a slight change of the original style. This patch file can be applied to apsrev.bst, which can be found here.

patch apsrev.bst apsrev.patch

And include the following line in latex to use the new .bst.

\bibliographystyle{path/apsrev.bst}
