I have a quick question for those perhaps a bit more
familiar with bibtex than myself.

I'm using bibliographystyle{unsrt} for my thesis and when I
correctly list the authors of a paper as follows for example

author = "B.V. Ershov and S.B. Kravtsov and S.B. Mirov"

the compiled version looks like
B.V. Ershov, S.B. Kravtsov, and S.B. Mirov
rather than
B.V. Ershov, S.B. Kravtsov and S.B. Mirov

Is this considered usual, where the final author name is
preceded with ", and" rather than just "and"? That is to
say, should the comma really be present before "and S.B.
Mirov"?

Thankyou.
