OK. We'll modify apalike.bst. (I'm assuming that apalike is otherwise
OK, and therefore that the formatting of the author field, etc, is as
you would want it. If you want to start with something else, you can do
that, too.) Copy apalike to apalikemod.bst, put this in your local TeX
tree, run texhash, and then edit as follows.
We're going to need to add a field for the retrieval date and the url.
Let's call them "retrieved" and "url" and add them to the ENTRY section
of the .bst file. (That's right at the beginning.)
We're going to define two new BibTeX types for the online periodical and
online document: Let's call them "oarticle" and "odocument". (Change the
names if you like.) Add this to the .bst file:
FUNCTION {oarticle}
{ output.bibitem
format.authors "author" output.check
author format.key output % special for
output.year.check % apalike
new.block
format.title "title" output.check
new.block
journal emphasize "journal" output.check
new.block
"Retrieved " retrieved * ", from \url{" * url * "}" * output
fin.entry
}
FUNCTION {odocument}
{ output.bibitem
author empty$
{ format.editors "author and editor" output.check
editor format.key output
}
{ format.authors output.nonnull }
if$
output.year.check % special for apalike
new.block
format.btitle "title" output.check
new.block
"Retrieved " retrieved * ", from \url{" * url * "}" * output
fin.entry
}
Put these near the definition of FUNCTION{article} and the rest.
The former is modeled on the article entry type; the latter on book. So
the latter allows an editor and such, if you happen to have one. I've
removed the cross-reference stuff found in article and book, as that
shouldn't be relevant, as well as the note field.
Note that I haven't tested this, but it should work.
As for JabRef, open Options>Customize entry types. On the left, you will
see a list of entry types. Type "oarticle" in the box at the bottom and
click "Add". Add author, title, journal, and year as required fields.
Type "retrieved" in the box and click "Add", and do it again for "url".
Add whatever optional fields you want. Repeat the procedure for the
other new entry type, "odocument". These will not appear on the "New
article" menus, but they will appear on the menu you get by right
clicking on the entry type displayed along the left when you go to edit
one. So you can create a new one as whatever you like, right-click on
the entry type, and change it as you wish.
