    author={Turing, Alan Mathison},              % about
    journal={Bulletin of mathematical biology},  % the
    volume={52},                                 % literature
    pages={153--197},                            % work

@title How is it used?

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

• ++ Citing a source: \cite{<source>}
• ++ Citing a page: \cite[p. 15]{<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

• Reinclude all sections.
• Choose a literature database to search for BibTeX references for the following LaTeX handbooks:
  • Leslie Lamport (1994): LaTeX. A Document Preparation System.
  • Dilip Datta (2017): LaTeX in 24 Hours. A Practical Guide for Scientific Writing.
  • Frank Mittelbach / Michel Goossens (2012): Der LaTeX-Begleiter.
• ++ Add the BibTex entries to the BibTeX file named l2kurz.bib.

• ++ Cite the three handbook at appropriate places in the document so that they appear in the list of references.
• ++ Now try and find the passage that creates the list of references. Choose another bibliography style and compare the changes in the PDF.
