I wanted to make a readable bibliography which uses as less space as possible, something like this:
I modified the A&A natbib style package to have something like that, here is the code (rename .txt to .bst). You need to put it into your latex as:
usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib} bibliographystyle{bib} usepackage{paralist} renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{ section*{refname} letparrelaxletnewblockrelax letolditemitem renewcommand{item}[1][]{ textbullet textbf{olditem} } inparaenum}{endinparaenum}
This create citations of the type “[1]”, which are the shortest. They are listed in order of appearance. To add the bibliography then I use:
{footnotesize renewcommand{section}[2]{} % remove title setlength{bibsep}{0.0pt} bibliography{bib} }
