Add a New Bibliography Style for Use with BiBTeX
(Version 2.01 and 2.5)

Updated April 4, 2000

Four standard bibliography styles are provided with SW for use with BiBTeX, but you can add additional bibliography styles. A web search for BiBTeX Styles will reveal many sources of new styles. Here's how to add a bibliography style to SW:

  1. Copy the BiBTeX style file (.bst file) to the bibtex directory. Typically, the directory is c:\sw20\bibtex for Scientific Word version 2.0x, c:\swp25\bibtex for Scientific WorkPlace version 2.5, c:\sw25\bibtex for Scientific Word version 2.5, and c:\swpse25\bibtex for the Student Edition of Scientific WorkPlace version 2.5.
  2. Using your favorite ASCII editor, modify the SW .ini file so that the new style is listed as one of the choices:
    1. If you have Scientific Word, open sciword.ini.
      If you have Scientific WorkPlace, open swp-pro.ini.
      If you have the Student Edition, open swp-se.ini.
    2. Find the line that reads BibTEXstyles=plain,unsrt,alpha,abbrv.
    3. At the end of the line, enter a comma followed by the name of the new style file. Don't include the .bst file extension.
    4. Save the .ini file.
  3. Restart SW.

The new style should now be one of the choices on the BiBTeX list.
