1 BibTeX / BibLaTeX An introduction 1

2 Content Reference database BibTeX (.bib) Manual entry of references Example Jabref How to download references from databases BibTeX: In LaTeX, Bibliography styles, How does it work? BibLaTeX: In LaTeX, BibLaTeX options, Printbibliography options, From BibLaTeX to LaTeX-document, Downloading references from databases. ShareLaTeX BibTeX or BibLaTeX Relevant links 2

3 Reference database BibTeX (.bib) The.bib-file is a database with all the references that you have downloaded. You can download references from online literature databases (Oria, Scopus, mm.) to BibTeX. The.bib-file must be in the same folder as the program LaTeX. References from the.bib-file can be inserted into your main LaTeX document 3

4 Manual entry of references All references in the.bib file must have a reference tag/key (bibtexkey) Some fields MUST be filled in for each label Must be filled in: author/editor, title, publisher, bibtexkey2, Must be filled in: Must be filled in: author, title, journal, Must be filled in: author, title, booktitle, year. 4

5 Example title={reviews of Science for Science Librarians: BibTeX}, author={neufeld, Elyse and Barsky, Eugene}, journal={science \& Technology Libraries}, volume={32}, number={4}, pages={ }, year={2013}, publisher={taylor \& Francis} } Main.tex: LaTeX is a document preparation system that is particularly beneficial for creating technical and scientific documents and is used in a wide range of subject areas, including mathematics, physical sciences, and computer sciences. \cite{neufeld2013reviews} 5

6 Jabref JabRef is a reference management software that uses BibTeX as a format Good with LaTeX Download from Saving references as.bib file. Creates a database/library with all references. Has an interface that makes it easier to edit references. 6

7 How to download references Many databases give you the option to download references in BibTeX-format: Scopus Compendex Google Scholar Oria 7

8 In LaTeX How to get LaTeX to retrieve references from.bib file? \usepackage[options, e.g. numbers ]{e.g. Natbib } \usepackage{url} make the links clickable \usepackage{hyperref} clickable reference links in the text \begin{document}...document text.. \cite{bibtex key} \bibliographystyle{e.g. unsrt } \bibliography{file name} \end{document} 8

9 Bibliography styles with BibTeX \bibliographystyle{stylename} plain (numerical) abbrv (numerical) alpha (alphabetical) apalike (alphabetical) acm (numerical) ieeetr (numerical) unsrt (numerical) siam (numerical) More styles can be found here: 9

10 From BibTeX to LaTeX When you click Compile : main.tex ref.bib Run pdflatex Run BibTeX Run pdflatex Output pdf-dokument If you get any error messages, cut and paste them into a Google search. Someone has probably had the same problem before. 10

11 BibLaTeX BibLaTeX is an usepackage for latex that formats the bibliography We are now using Version 3.7 from BibLaTeX uses the same bib file as BibTeX. The bibliography is defined using LaTeX macros and bbx-files. With BibLaTeX it is easy to switch from one bibliography style to another, and customize the bibliography style you use in particular. With BibLaTeX you can split the bibliography and get one for articles, one for books etc. BibLaTeX also provide support for utf8, which supports the Norwegian letters æ, ø and å. 11

12 In LaTeX with BibLaTeX \usepackage[options]{biblatex } \usepackage{url} make links clickable \usepackage{hyperref} make clickable reference in the document \usepackage{csquotes} \addbibresource{file name.bib} \begin{document}...document text.. \cite{bitexkey} \printbibliography[options] \end{document} 12

13 BibLaTeX Options \usepackage[options]{biblatex} backend=biber, is the most common and recommended Bibligraphystyle: style=numeric (numerical) style=alphabetic (alphabetical) style=authoryear (alphabetical, author-year) style=authortitle (alphabetical, author-title) style=verbose (alphabetical) style=anyt (alphabetical, name, year, title) More styles can be found here: 13

14 BibLaTeX Options Sorting references in the bibliography: sorting=nty (name, title, year) sorting=nyt (name, year, title) sorting=nyvt (name, year, volume, title) sorting=anyvt (alphabetic label, name, year, volume, title) sorting=ynt (year, name, title) sorting=ydnt (year (descending), name, title) sorting=none (No sorting. The references are sorted by the bibliography style used) 14

15 BibLaTeX Options forts. Citation styles in text. If no citation style is given in options, BibLaTeX uses the style that fits the given bibliography. Citestyle: citestyle=alphabetic citestyle=authoryear citestyle=authortitle citestyle=verbose citestyle=numeric 15

16 BibLaTeX Options forts. sortcites=true, =false You should always use option sortcites when using a numerical style, it will sort in numerical sequence "[9,11,8,3,9]" to "[3,8,9,11]. In the text of the LaTeX document: \cite{ref1,ref2,...} 16

17 BibLaTeX Options forts. Customization of bibliography style: If you do not find a style that fits the one you need, you can for example, customize the style with BibLaTeX by including or omitting information from the bib file. firstinits=true ISBN=true, false url=true, false doi=true, flase 17

18 Printbibliography options \printbibliography[options] title=referanseliste. Changes title to reference list. You can have to bibliographies for example books and articles: type=article,title=articles type=book,title=books One bibliography pr. chapter: \begin{refsection} your text \printbibliography[heading=subbibliography] \end{refsection} Or you can have all bibliographies at the end: section=1,title=bibliographyi 1 section=2,titel=bibliographyi 2 18

19 From BibLaTeX to LaTeX-document Click the Compile button What happens: main.tex ref.bib Run pdflatex Run biber Run pdflatex Output pdf-document 19

20 Downloading references from databases: In the same way as for BibTeX: Download reference in BibTeX format. Create a bib file. Insert into LaTeX document using bibtexkey. 20

21 BibTeX or BibLaTeX? BibTeX BibLaTeX Must download references to a bib file Can use JabRef Does not support utf8. Do you have æ, ø or å you must typeset each letter in particular. Have simple styles you can use Must download references to a bib file Can use JabRef Support utf8 The different styles are set with options for the BibLaTeX package The different bibliography styles are found in bst files Not flexible with adaptation to special bibliography styles Possibility of just one bibliography in the same document Easy to use Bibliography styles exist as macros for LaTeX and bbx files Can be easily customized and flexible with adaptation to special bibliography styles. Possibility of multiple bibliographies in the same document More difficult to use than BibTeX 21
