This bibliography style file is intended for texts in ENGLISH This is
a numerical citation style, and as such is standard LaTeX. It requires
no extra package to interface to the main text. The form of the
\bibitem entries is \bibitem{key}... Usage of \cite is as follows:
\cite{key} ==>> [#] \cite[chap. 2]{key} ==>> [#, chap. 2] where # is a
number determined by the ordering in the reference list. The order in
the reference list is that by which the works were originally cited in
the text, or that in the database.

To change the reference numbering system from [1] to 1, put the
following code in the preamble: \makeatletter % Reference list option
change \renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{#1} % from [1] to 1 \makeatother %
