GOST is a bundle of BibTeX styles designed to meet State Standards (GOST) on information, librarianship and publishing issued by The Russian Federation and Interstate Committee of former USSR States. It may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The latest version of this license is in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version 2005/12/01 or later. The System of Standards includes: GOST 7.0.5-2008 Bibliographic reference. General requirements and rules of making. GOST 7.1 -2003 Bibliographic record. Bibliographic description. General requirements and rules. GOST 7.80 -2000 Bibliographic record. Heading. General requirements and rules. GOST 7.11 -2004 Bibliographic description and references. Rules for the abbreviation of words and word combinations in foreign European languages. GOST 7.83 -2001 Electronic editions. Basic types and imprint. Ect. GOST comprises 16 BibTeX styles to format bibliography in English, Russian and Ukrainian according to GOST 7.0.5-2008 and GOST 7.1-2003. Both 8-bit and Unicode (UTF-8) versions of each BibTeX style, in each case offering a choice of sorted and unsorted. Further, 2 more styles, |gost780| and |gost780s| styles (not conforming to effective standards) are retained for backwards compatibility. All BibTeX styles are derived from same master file |gost.dtx| by applying different set of options as shown in the table below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style | utf8 | strict | modern | eprint | long | sort | natbib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gost780 | | | | | | | gost780s | | | | | | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gost2003 | | + | | + | | | gost2003s | | + | | + | | + | gost2008 | | | + | + | | | gost2008n | | | + | + | | | + gost2008l | | | + | + | + | | gost2008s | | | + | + | | + | gost2008ns | | | + | + | | + | + gost2008ls | | | + | + | + | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ugost2003 | + | + | | + | | | ugost2003s | + | + | | + | | + | ugost2008 | + | | + | + | | | ugost2008n | + | | + | + | | | + ugost2008l | + | | + | + | + | | ugost2008s | + | | + | + | | + | ugost2008ns | + | | + | + | | + | + ugost2008ls | + | | + | + | + | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style | utf8 | strict | modern | eprint | long | sort | natbib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Gost2008| style is recommended for most applications. It corresponds to the currently effective Standard 7.0.5-2008. Librarians should use the style |gost2003| instead of |gost2008| to compile a library catalog to meet the Standard 7.1-2003. Use of other styles is best explained through the meaning of options used to compile those styles from the master source. Two styles, |gost780| and |gost780s|, generated without |modern| and |strict| options, are retained for backward compatibility. They do not conform the Standards 7.0.5-2008 and 7.1-2003 cited above. The |strict| option provides conformance to the Standard 7.1-2003. The styles compiled with that option bear the name |gost2003| with possible suffixes |s|, |l|, |n| as explained below. These styles are intended primarily for the librarians who compose a library catalog. The |modern| option meets the Standard 7.0.5-2008 which can be thought off as a relaxed version of the Standard 7.1-2003. The styles compiled with that option bear the name |gost2008| with possible suffixes |s|, |l|, |n|. The |strict| option has precedence over |modern| so that a style compiled with both options will resemble mainly the |gost2003| style rather than |gost2008|. If the number of authors exceeds 4, modern styles cut the list of authors to at most 4 persons as prescibed by the Standards. The option |long| overrides this rule to provide backward compatibility with the package disser by Stanislab Kruchinin. Two styles, |gost2008l| and |gost2008ls|, compiled with the option |long| mimic behavior of the styles |gost705| and |gost705s| from the disser package. Major effect of the |long| option is that the list of authors always precedes book or article title no matter how long is it. Modern styles compiled without |long| place long list of authors behind the title. The names of styles compiled with the option |long| has the suffix |l|. Recall that those styles do not conform effective Standards and their use is discouraged. The |eprint| option enables formatting electronic publications. In particular, it enables |eprint|, |eprinttype|, |eprintclass|, and |doi| fields for a bibliographic entry. The styles, generated without the |eprint| option, just ignore the these fields. Starting from the version 1.2 of the GOST package, all modern styles are compiled with this option included, and therefore the suffix |e| which designated this option in earlier versions is not appended to the name of style any more. The |natbib| option provides compatibility with the |natbib| package. The names of styles compiled with the option |natbib| bear the suffix |n|. Currently 4 styles with that option are available for public use. The |sort| option enables sorting bibliographic references by author names and titles of references. The names of styles compiled with the option |sort| bear the suffix |s|. Sorting does not work as expected for databases in unicode encoding (see below). Finally, the |utf8| option produces bibliographic styles in unicode rather that in 8-bit encoding. Names of those styles bear the prefix |u|. Beyond bibliographic style, GOST bundle contains CS files (codepage and sorting order). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Encoding | CSF Sorting order ---------------------------------------------------------------- cp866 | ruscii.csf Cyrillic first, Latin cp1251 | cp1251.csf Cyrillic first, Latin koi8-u | koi8u.csf Cyrillic first, Latin utf8 | utf8cyrillic.csf Cyrillic first, Latin ---------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, BibTeX8 distribution comes with few more CSFs. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Encoding | CSF Sorting order ---------------------------------------------------------------- cp866 | cp866rus.csf Latin first, Cyrillic ---------------------------------------------------------------- How to use 1. Select bibliography style by adding appropriate \bibliographystyle declaration to your source file .tex, e.g. \bibliographystyle{gost2008} \bibliography{database} 2. Add the field language="ukrainian" or language="russian" to the bibliographic entries in Ukrainian or Russian languages in your database; English is the default language. German, Italian and French are also supported. 3. To compile list of references from your database use bibtex8.exe rather than bibtex.exe. Depending on the codepage of your bibliographic database, indicate one of the CS files listed above as option to bibtex8.exe. Run LaTeX, then run bibTeX8 and again LaTeX: latex .tex bibtex8 -B -c .csf .aux latex .tex 4. For details on preparing bibliographic database see examples in |gost*.pdf|. 5. Ugost*.bst styles are primarily intended for use with unicode compilers (xelatex and lualatex). They should be preferred as well when using 8bit compilers (latex and pdflatex) if source file is in utf8 encoding. 6. Neither bitex.exe nor bitex8.exe provides correct sorting order of unicode text. It means that using ugost2008s or any other style ended with `s' in its name may produce unexpected result for utf8 documents. 7. Bibtex8 fails to change case of a string if it contains Cyrillic letter in unicode. Therefore ugost2008* styles do not change case of titles and other parts of bibliographic record while 8-bit styles do the case change where appropriate. 8. Either |bibtex8| or |Bibtex8| fail to cut Cyrillic names to initials. Therefore |ugost2008*| styles do not modify the name of authors. 9. Package |natbib| should be loaded when using styles with suffix |n| in their names. Customization Every GOST style defines few commands to format some parts of a reference. You can redefine these commands prior to the \bibliography{} command. Initial definitions are listed below. \providecommand*{\url}[1]{{\small #1}} \providecommand*{\BibUrl}[1]{\url{#1}} \providecommand{\BibAnnote}[1]{} \providecommand*{\BibEmph}[1]{#1} By default, gost styles separate logical parts of a bibliography record by a period and cyrdash (. "---). It is legitimate to drop that dash by overriding the command \BibDash as follows \providecommand*{\BibDash}{} By default, \BibDash is equivalent to the shorthand "--- introduced by the babel package with the option russian. It prints a so called Cyrillic dash (\cyrdash), which is 20% shorter than ordinary LaTeX dash (---), and puts unbreakable space before \cyrdash so that the dash never appears at the beginning of a line.
