Now that is a solved problem. The issues the grandparent post raises about rewriting the text to be shorter or longer are real, but changing to a totally different reference format is what Latex does automagically for you when you apply the publisher's template - I can't recall the last time when I even looked at what a publication's reference format is, I have the list of sources in bibtex and whatever their template outputs should be correct, and if something in the format was difficult to implement in Latex, well, that was their problem for whoever made that template back when they did it.
