@title Reference management

@slide(layout=content-only)

@title What do we need?

@content

• a bibliography file (hereafter .bib file) for storing references
• BibTeX as an interface between the references and LaTeX

@slide(layout=wide-content)

@title What is this mysterious .bib file?

@content

• collection of references in BibTeX format
• example:

@article{turing1990, % the type of the document and an identifier for the \cite command
    title={The chemical basis of morphogenesis}, % information
    author={Turing, Alan Mathison},              % about
    journal={Bulletin of mathematical biology},  % the
    volume={52},                                 % literature
    pages={153--197},                            % work
    year={1990},                                 % follows
    publisher={Springer}                         % …
}

@title How is it used?

@content BibTeX adds some citation commands to LaTeX. In addition, we need the natbib package.

• ++ Citing an author: \citeauthor{<source>}
• ++ Citing a source: \cite{<source>}
• ++ Citing a page: \cite[p. 15]{<source>}
• ++ Citing with additional text:
  \cite[<prefix>][<suffix>]{<source>}
• ++ Referencing the .bib file: \bibliography{<.bib file>}
• ++ Choosing a citation style:
  \bibliographystyle{<citation style>}

Two things are infinite: the universe and the assortment of citation styles.Unknown

Creating and inserting references

@content

• Create a new BibTeX file called literature.bib in the exercises/literature folder.
• Use Google Scholar or dblp.org to retrieve BibTeX references for the following \LaTeX handbooks:
  • Dilip Datta (2017): \LaTeX in 24 Hours. A Practical Guide for Scientific Writing.
  • Frank Mittelbach / Michel Goossens (2010): Der $\LaTeX$-Begleiter.
• Add the BibTeX entries to the BibTeX file.
• Assign unique and meaningful BibTeX keys.
• Include the BibTeX file in a suitable location, where later on the references should be listed.
• Cite the two handbooks in the file exercises/literature/literature.tex.
• Make use of the plain bibliography style.

@title The University Library recommends …

@content

• reference management software (esp. Zotero) help to build a literature database, store quotations, and organize one's own notes
• ++ support available from the library's own reference management team: literaturverwaltung.ub@uni-bamberg.de
• ++ for connecting LaTeX and reference management: biblatex + biber (better support for UTF-8 and varius citation styles)
• ++ in Zotero: activate the plugin "Better BibTeX" (applies also if you are using biblatex)
