【IEEE Conf Latex】如何在IEEE Conf的latex模板中实现参考文献作者人数超过3就显示为“et al.”的功能

问题说明：

当我们在使用IEEE Conf的latex模板写作论文时，最后自动生成的REFERENCES时默认显示所有作者姓名的，这就可能导致参考文献的篇幅过长，导致超过论文最大页数要求（尤其是针对会议论文）。此时一个好的解决方法就是将超过3位作者的参考文献改成“et al.”的形式来显示！

解决方法：

1. 打开IEEEtrans.bst
2. 定位到以下代码位置（大概在第97行~111行）：

% #0 turns off the forced use of "et al."
% #1 enables
FUNCTION {default.is.forced.et.al} { #0 }

% The maximum number of names that can be present beyond which an "et al."
% usage is forced. Be sure that num.names.shown.with.forced.et.al (below)
% is not greater than this value!
% Note: There are many instances of references in IEEE journals which have
% a very large number of authors as well as instances in which "et al." is
% used profusely.
FUNCTION {default.max.num.names.before.forced.et.al} { #1 }

% The number of names that will be shown with a forced "et al.".
% Must be less than or equal to max.num.names.before.forced.et.al
FUNCTION {default.num.names.shown.with.forced.et.al} { #10 }

3. 修改以上代码成以下内容：

% #0 turns off the forced use of "et al."
% #1 enables
FUNCTION {default.is.forced.et.al} { #1 }

% The maximum number of names that can be present beyond which an "et al."
% usage is forced. Be sure that num.names.shown.with.forced.et.al (below)
% is not greater than this value!
% Note: There are many instances of references in IEEE journals which have
% a very large number of authors as well as instances in which "et al." is
% used profusely.
FUNCTION {default.max.num.names.before.forced.et.al} { #3 }

% The number of names that will be shown with a forced "et al.".
% Must be less than or equal to max.num.names.before.forced.et.al
FUNCTION {default.num.names.shown.with.forced.et.al} { #2 }

如果此时编译显示出错或者没有改变，就选择“从头编译”，done！
