BibTex - Show ISBN number?
This is very easy with biblatex
(at least as long one takes care of closing commas in .bib
files):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{QueueSystems,
author = "Leonard Kleinrock",
maintitle = "Queueing Systems",
volume = "1",
title = "Theory",
publisher = "Wiley-Interscience",
year = "1975",
ISBN = "0471491101",
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

You write
Is it possible to show the ISBN/ISSN fields of books with BibTeX? ... I've tried several different styles with no success...
The answer is "Yes." However, in order to achieve your goal you need to use a bibliography style file that's of more recent vintage than plain.bst
. The plain
style file, which is more than twenty years old by now, is not set to recognize fields such as url
, isbn
, issn
, and doi
. Fortunately, a lot of the newer style files -- such as plainnat
, unsrtnat
, and IEEEtran
-- do know how to process these fields.
For instance, with the plainnat
style file and the natbib
package loaded, the reference in question would be printed as follows:
Under the conditions
- You don't want to switch to biblatex,
- You don't want to change your .bst,
you can always put the ISBN (or anything else) in a note:
@book{lic,
[...],
note={{ISBN:} 978-91-637-4473-0}
}
