newcastle-bst: Harvard referencing style as recommended by Newcastle University

This package provides a BibTeX style to format reference lists in the Harvard at Newcastle style recommended by Newcastle University. It should be used alongside natbib for citations.

Installation

The required style file is available from GitHub and CTAN. You can use the style by copying it into your working directory containing your .tex file. You can also add it to your bst directory in your tex path to use it without having to copy it over each time.

Using the style

To use the style include this in your preamble:

\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[UKenglish]{isodate}
\bibliographystyle{newcastle}

Also remember to specify your .bib file at the end of the document:

\bibliography{file}

The easiest way to create .bib files for this style is through exporting entries from a reference manager such as Mendeley. However, some parts are not available through this (such as titleaddon for computer programs). If you notice any discrepancies between generated references and the recommended styles then please raise this on GitHub
