BibTeX

BibTeX is a tool for LaTeX to manage bibliography databases. It was created by Oren Patashnik and Leslie Lamport in 1985. BibTeX makes it easy to quote sources in a consistent manner.

Bibliography items are split by types. The following types are included by default:

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 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 Masters thesis.
misc: For use when nothing else fits.
phdthesis: A PhD 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unpublished: A document having an author and title, but not formally published.
