[Latex] Reference document Format __latex

The LaTeX standard options and their styles have a total of 8 following:

Plain, arranged in alphabetical order, is the author, year, and title of the comparison order.
UNSRT, style with plain, just according to the Order of reference.
Alpha, with the author's first letter + year after the two digits as a label, sorted in alphabetical order.
ABBRV, similar to the plain, will be the month of the whole spell abbreviation, more compact.
IEEETR, International Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, journal style.
ACM, American Computer Society journal style.
Siam, American Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics journal style.
Apalike, American Society of Psychology journal style.

BibTeX Style Examples

For no academic/research writing, incorporating references into a document being an important task. Fortunately, LaTeX has a variety of features that make dealing with references much simpler, including built-in support fo R citing references. However, a much more powerful and flexible solution are achieved to a auxiliary tool called bibtex  (which Comes bundled as standard with LaTeX). Recently, BibTeX has been succeeded by Biblatex, a tool configurable within LaTeX.

BibTeX provides for the storage of all references in a external, flat-file database. (Biblatex uses this same syntax.) This database can are referenced in any LaTeX document, and citations made to any record of the is contained within the file. This is often to convenient than embedding them at the end of every document written; A centralized bibliography source can be linked to as many documents as desired (write once, read many!). Of course, bibliographies can be split over as many files as one wishes, so there can be a file containing sources ing topic A (a.bib) and another concerning topic B (B.BIB). When writing about topic AB, both of this files can be linked into the document (perhaps in addition to sources Ab.bib SP Ecific to topic AB).

Embedded System[edit]

If you are are writing only one or two documents and aren ' t planning on writing in the the same for a long Might not want to waste time creating a database of references your are never to use. In this case you are should consider using the basic and simple bibliography support which is embedded within.

LaTeX provides an environment called thebibliography, where you have the want; That's usually means at the very end of your document, just the Before the\end{document} command. This is a practical example:

\BEGIN{THEBIBLIOGRAPHY}{9}

\bibitem{lamport94}
Leslie Lamport,
\EMPH{\LATEX:A document Preparation System},
Addison Wesley, Massachusetts,
2nd edition,
1994.

\end{thebibliography}

OK, so what are going here? The thing to notice are the establishment of the Environment. thebibliography is a keyword that LaTeX recog Nizes as everything between the begin and end tags as being data for the bibliography. The mandatory argument, which I supplied after the BEGIN statement, are telling LaTeX how wide the item label would be Printed. Note however, which is the number itself isn't the parameter, but the number of digits is. Therefore, I am effectively telling LaTeX that I'll only need reference labels of one character in length, which Ultimat Ely means no more than nine references into total. If you are want more than nine, then input any two-digit number, such as ' a ' which allows up to the references.

The

Next is the actual reference entry itself. This is prefixed with The \bibitem{cite_key} command. The cite_key should be a unique identifier for that particular reference, and is often some sort of mnemonic con Sisting of any sequence of letters, numbers and punctuation symbols (although not a comma). I often use the surname of the the "the" the "the" the "the" the "the" the "the" author followed by the last two digits If that is author has produced more than one reference for a given year, then I add letters after, ' A ', ' B ', etc. But, you should does whatever works for you. Everything after the key is the reference itself. You are need to type it as your want it to be presented. I have put the different parts of the reference, such as author, title, etc., on different lines for readability. These linebreaks are are ignored by LaTeX. I wanted the title to being in italics and so I used the \emph{} command to achieve this. Citations[edit]

To actually cite a given document are very easy. Go to the point where you want the "citation to appear" and "use" following: \cite{cite_key}, where the Cite_key is Of the bibitem you wish to cite. When LaTeX processes the document, the citation is cross-referenced with the Bibitems and replaced with the Appropria Te number citation. The advantage here, once again, is this LaTeX looks after the numbering for you. If it were totally manual, then adding or removing a reference would is a real chore, as you would have to re-number all T He citations by hand.

Instead of WYSIWYG editors, typesetting systems like \tex{} or \latex{} \cite{lamport94} can is used. referring more Specific[edit]

Sometimes you want to refer to a certain page, figure or theorem in a-text book. For, can use the arguments to the \cite command:

\cite[p.~215]{citation01}

The argument, "p. 215", would show up inside the same brackets. Note the tilde in [p.~215], which replaces the end-of-sentence spacing with a non-breakable spaces. There are two reasons:end-of-sentence spacing is too wide, and "p." Should the not to separated from the page number. multiple Citations[edit]
