Managing Citations and Your Bibliography with BibTeX
Jürgen Fenn
Abstract
This article gives a brief introduction to managing citations and to preparing a list of references with BibTeX. Techniques for writing a bibliography file and its use in a document are presented for first-time BiBTeX users. Strategies and tools for simplifying work are also described. No attempt, however, is made to provide an in-depth introduction. The article concludes with a critical note on the future of BibTeX and a list of references for further reading.
