LATEX materials

Getting started:

Here is a brief introduction to typesetting mathematical notation as well as some basic LATEX example files that I have written. Two introductions I like are available here and here. I also like this cheat sheet.

BIBTEX style file for APSR:

In bibliography style file apsr2.bst, I provide fixes for some minor formatting inconsistencies between current requirements for the American Political Science Review and the style file apsr.bst distributed with the harvard LaTeX package:

  • A comma is now placed before the word "and" when it separates author names in the bibliography;
  • A comma is placed before the word "and" when it separates author names for in-text citations with more than two authors;
  • A space is added between journal volume and issue, and colon and page numbers;
  • For BIBTEX item incollection, the chapter title is now quoted.
