Good question! I'm not sure here either, but I think NatBib covers
Harvard style of reference, which is common for social science. So
far as I understand this means you only need to use a BST that was
written for the \usepackage {harvard} .
I personally would like to see a greater range of Harvard style BSTs, as
the existing ones are often only for a few Journals that involve
mathematics or statistics. Of course, is this understandable from the
sociotechnical history of the coming together of artifacts like LaTex,
Tex, or LyX, but it makes it less accessible for people who don't work
in these fields or don't have the skills to revamp a BST from scratch.
Any comprehensive list of BSTs somewhere?
Cheers, Sam
