Taylor & Francis Reference Style needs updating

ehsanx commented 6 months ago

Taylor & Francis Reference Style is different from the one provided by rticles::tf_article

The current rticles::tf_article provides the following in the tex file: \usepackage{natbib}% Citation support using natbib.sty \bibpunct[, ]{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{,}% Citation support using natbib.sty

However, as per https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/tf_S.pdf it should be simply \usepackage[numbers]{natbib}

Thanks for opening an issue.

It seems indeed there was an update in the templates we can find at : https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/InteractCADLaTeX.zip

% interactcadsample.tex
% v1.04 - May 2023

\documentclass[]{interact}

\usepackage{epstopdf}% To incorporate .eps illustrations using PDFLaTeX, etc.
\usepackage{subfigure}% Support for small, `sub' figures and tables
%\usepackage[nolists,tablesfirst]{endfloat}% To `separate' figures and tables from text if required

\usepackage{natbib}% Citation support using natbib.sty
\bibpunct[, ]{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{,}% Citation support using natbib.sty
\renewcommand\bibfont{\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont}% Bibliography support using natbib.sty

But the bibpunct line is still there.

I can do the update for the template, but still this line would be there.

For which journal https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/tf_S.pdf ? maybe they use another template ?

It seems this Zip template uses the Chicago style author date (https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/tf_ChicagoAD.pdf)

I have updated to latest file from bundle linked.

Please do share any other T&F template that may not be compatible with this one.

It was initially added in #218 by @dleutnant and may not cover all the possible Journals

I received it from the "Journal of Applied Statistics". Thanks!

So this one: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/cjas20

From their instruction (https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=cjas20) they have other template available at https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/InteractTFSLaTeX.zip

This templates does have

\usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}% Citation support using natbib.sty
\bibpunct[, ]{[}{]}{,}{n}{,}{,}% Citation support using natbib.sty

and probably other differences like

\bibliographystyle{tfs}

This bst file does follow : http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/style/reference/tf_S.pdf

So probably those options can help... the templates needs to be adapted to pass those and it should be fine 🤔

Not sure we can do one template for all journals - an author would need to download the resources from the website probably and use them with the rticles template.

cderv commented 6 months ago

Something does not seem to work ok with tfs.bst provided in the template... So it needs more work.

You have the PR linked if you want to try and help adapt

rstudio / rticles
