%% This is just an edited version of the apalike style. It merges in some changes from science.bst and restricts the author list to the first author + et al.
%
% BibTeX `apalike' bibliography style (version 0.99a, 8-Dec-10), adapted from
% the `alpha' style, version 0.99a; for BibTeX version 0.99a.
%
% Copyright (C) 1988, 2010 Oren Patashnik.
% Unlimited copying and redistribution of this file are permitted as long as
% it is unmodified. Modifications (and redistribution of modified versions)
% are also permitted, but only if the resulting file is renamed.
%
% Differences between this style and `alpha' are generally heralded by a `%'.
% The file btxbst.doc has the documentation for alpha.bst.
%
% This style should be used with the `apalike' LaTeX style (apalike.sty).
% \cite's come out like "(Jones, 1986)" in the text but there are no labels
% in the bibliography, and something like "(1986)" comes out immediately
% after the author. Author (and editor) names appear as last name, comma,
% initials. A `year' field is required for every entry, and so is either
% an author (or in some cases, an editor) field or a key field.
%
% Editorial note:
% Many journals require a style like `apalike', but I strongly, strongly,
% strongly recommend that you not use it if you have a choice---use something
% like `plain' instead. Mary-Claire van Leunen (A Handbook for Scholars,
% Knopf, 1979) argues convincingly that a style like `plain' encourages better
% writing than one like `apalike'. Furthermore the strongest arguments for
% using an author-date style like `apalike'---that it's "the most practical"
% (The Chicago Manual of Style, University of Chicago Press, thirteenth
% edition, 1982, pages 400--401)---fall flat on their face with the new
% computer-typesetting technology. For instance page 401 anachronistically
% states "The chief disadvantage of [a style like `plain'] is that additions
% or deletions cannot be made after the manuscript is typed without changing
% numbers in both text references and list." LaTeX sidesteps the disadvantage.
%
% History:
% 15-sep-86 (OP) Original version by Oren Patashnik, ideas from Susan King.
% 10-nov-86 (OP) Truncated the sort.key$ string to the correct length
% in bib.sort.order to eliminate error message.
% 24-jan-88 (OP) Updated for BibTeX version 0.99a, from alpha.bst 0.99a;
% apalike now sorts by author, then year, then title;
% THIS `apalike' VERSION DOES NOT WORK WITH BIBTEX 0.98i.
% 8-dec-10 (OP) Still version 0.99a, as the code itself was unchanged;
% this release clarified the license.
