Automatically abbreviate authors first names in bibtex
Fri, 2010-04-30 17:12 | by Samuel Lampa
I had all my references (50+) with all author names spelled out, but was told to abbreviate first names to one letter (Indeed that looks better IMO too). I didn't want to do that manually, and found out that this can automatically be done by using the bibtex style "abbrv". So I set it in my latex document with
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}

Hmm, I am able to use both, like:
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
