University of South Wales Bibtex Style

The standard natbib styles, either painnat or apa, aren't quite formatted as USW expect.

This repo contains a bibtex style file created to try and match what the university has put in its Harvard referencing guide.

I generated this on MacTeX using the latex makebst tool. This runs interactively as a series of questions about the appearence of your references and citations. I picked the answers that were closest to the uni's examples.

To find out where to put the .bst file on your system. First find out where one of the existing styles is:

kpsewhich plainnat.bst

Copy usw.bst into this folder then run texhash to rebuild the database of styles. On macOS you may need to run this with sudo depending on where the MacTeX home folder is.

In my main .tex file, I've got the following options relating to the bibliography:

\usepackage[round, authoryear]{natbib}
\usepackage{url}
