A BibTeX style file determines the way in which BibTeX bibliographies and citations are created in your LaTeX document. With most LaTeX distributions if you simply type

latex makebst

at a command line, you will be asked a (long) series of questions which will allow you to create your own personal BibTeX style file, which has the suffix '.bst'. Then, at the end of your LaTeX document, you simply need the lines

\bibliographystyle{/path/to/bst_file}
\bibliography{/path/to/bib_file}

Then run LaTeX twice, BibTeX once and LaTeX again on the document, and you're done!
