BibΤΕΧ, written as BibTeX in plain text, is a tool for formatting lists of references used by the LaTeX document preparation system.
BibTeX was created by Oren Patashnik and Leslie Lamport in 1985. BibTeX makes it easy to cite sources in a consistent manner, by separating bibliographic information from the presentation of this information. This same principle of separation of content and presentation/style is used by LaTeX itself, by XHTML and CSS, etc.
Bibliographic information file: .bib
BibTeX uses a style-independent text-based file format for lists of bibliography items, such as articles, books, theses. BibTeX bibliography files usually end in
.bib.
Bibliography items included in a .bib are split by types. The following types are understood by virtually all BibTeX styles:
- article: An article from a journal or magazine.
- book: A book with an explicit publisher. Required fields: author or editor, title, publisher, year.
- booklet: A work that is printed and bound, but without a named publisher or sponsoring institution.
- conference: The same as inproceedings, included for Scribe (markup language) compatibility.
- inbook: A part of a book, which may be a chapter (or section or whatever) and/or a range of pages.
- incollection: A part of a book having its own title.
- inproceedings: An article in a conference proceedings.
- manual: Technical documentation.
- mastersthesis: A Master's thesis.
- misc: For use when nothing else fits.
- phdthesis: A Ph.D. thesis.
- proceedings: The proceedings of a conference.
- techreport: A report published by a school or other institution, usually numbered within a series.
- unpublished: A document having an author and title, but not formally published.
