short.bst BibTeX style

 

This style allows you to get "short" citation labels, but still more explicit than the simple numerical labels provided by plain.bst. This style basically takes the first initial letter of the authors' names, even if there is only one author. In case there is a conflict, it adds a number (starting from 1) if there are several authors, or tries to take one or two more letter in the case of a single author. It still adds a number if the conflict persists.

Here is the style file. And here is the result.


Another version of this style, that shortens the label if there are too many authors.
