[Help Wanted] Adding Article Numbers

[AnzhiZhang]

Hi, I am using the Leeds Harvard referencing style. In Leeds Harvard, journal article with article number required a field article no: xxx [no pagination]

Family name, INITIAL(S). Year. Title of article. Journal Title. Volume, article no: article number [no pagination]

I am using Bath Harvard because it's similar to Leeds Harvard, however, Bath Harvard does not have a field for article numbers. I'd really appreciate it if you could provide any help on how to add this to my reference.

That's not true, there is support for article numbers (eid field) in both bath-bst and biblatex-bath.

Using BibTEX:

\begin{filecontents*}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}
@article{chou.etal2014,
  author = {Chou, C.L. and Teherani, A. and Masters, D.E. and Vener, M. and Wamsley, M. and Poncelet, A.},
  year = {2014},
  title = {Workplace learning through peer groups in medical school clerkships},
  journal = {Medical Education Online},
  volume = {19},
  eid = {article no: 25809 [no pagination]},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[margin=3mm,varwidth=80ex]{standalone}

\usepackage{natbib}
\setlength{\bibhang}{0pt}
\newcommand*{\urlprefix}{Available from: }
\newcommand*{\urldateprefix}{Accessed }
\bibliographystyle{bathx}

\begin{document}
\cite{chou.etal2014}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

Using biblatex:

\begin{filecontents*}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}
@article{chou.etal2014,
  author = {Chou, C.L. and Teherani, A. and Masters, D.E. and Vener, M. and Wamsley, M. and Poncelet, A.},
  date = {2014},
  title = {Workplace learning through peer groups in medical school clerkships},
  journaltitle = {Medical Education Online},
  volume = {19},
  eid = {25809},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[margin=3mm,varwidth=80ex]{standalone}

\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=bath]{biblatex}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\textbf{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{eid}{article no:\addspace#1\addspace[no pagination]}
% biblatex-bath loads xpatch
\xpatchbibmacro{journal+issuetitle}{%
  \usebibmacro{isonline}\setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
}{%
  \usebibmacro{isonline}\setunit*{\addperiod\space}%
}{}{}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{chou.etal2014}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thanks! I'd like to know that is there any different between \adddot and \addperiod in patching journal+issuetitle?

[alex-ball]

Sorry, yes, you are absolutely right, the correct command to use is \addperiod (now amended in previous comment). The \addperiod command is for full stops between blocks, \adddot is for marking abbreviations. The two have different interactions with other punctuation, and may trigger slightly different spacing (unless \frenchspacing is active).
