BibTeX How to use

BibTeX is a database-using approach to managing reference procedures for coordinating the reference processing of latex.

The suffix name for the BibTeX file is. Bib. Let's look at an example:

@article {GETTYS90,
Author = {Jim Gettys and Phil Karlton and Scott McGregor},
title = {The {X} Window System, Version 11},
Journal = {Software Practice and Experience},
Volume = {20},
Number = {S2},
Year = {1990},
Abstract = {A Technical Overview of the X11 functionality. This is a update of the X10 TOG paper by Scheifler \& Gettys.}
}

Description

The first line @article tells BibTeX that this is an article type of reference. There are other formats, such as article, book, booklet, Conference, Inbook, Incollection, inproceedings, Manual, Misc, Mastersthesis, phdthesis , Proceedings, Techreport, unpublished and so on.
The next "Gettys90" is the name of the entry you refer to in the body.
The other is the specific content in the reference document.

Using BibTeX in Latex
In order to use the BibTeX database in LaTeX, you must first do the following three things:

1) Set the type of reference (bibliography style). Standard for Plain:

\bibliographystyle{plain}

Other types include unsrt– basically the same as the plain type, except that the reference entries are numbered in the order in which they are quoted, rather than in alphabetical order by the author.
alpha– is similar to the plain type when the reference entry number is based on the author's name and the Order of the year of publication.
abbrv– abbreviated format.
2) tag reference (make citations). When you want to use a reference in a document, insert the latex command

\cite{referencing the article name}

"Reference article name" is the name that precedes the definition @article.

3) Tell LaTeX to generate a list of references. Enter before the end of LaTeX

\bibliography{bibfile}

Here Bibfile is your BibTeX database file bibfile.bib.

Running BibTeX is divided into four steps below

1. Build your. tex file with Latex, which is to generate a. aux file, which tells BibTeX to use those references.
2. Compile the. bib file with BibTeX.
3. Once again build your. tex file with Latex, this time the reference is already included in the document, but the reference number may be incorrect at this point.
4. Finally, build your. tex file with LaTeX, and if everything goes well, it's all in normal.

Example: Save an example of the above BibTeX as a bibfile.bib.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
We cite \cite{name1} and \cite{name2}.
\bibliography{bibfile}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}

Save the above content as Bibtex-example.tex.

Latex compiles once, BibTeX compiles once, then uses latex compiles two times to be accomplished!
