- New Post! Export Bibliographic Database (BibTeX) Entries from Online Databases
We have looked at many features of LaTeX so far and learned that many things are automated by LaTeX. There are functions to add a table of contents, lists of tables and figures and also several packages that allow us to generate a bibliography. I will describe how to use bibtex and biblatex (both external programs) to create the bibliography. At first we have to create a .bib file, which contains our bibliographic information.
A .bib file will contain the bibliographic information of our document. I will only give a simple example, since there are many tools to generate the entries automatically. I will not explain the structure of the file itself at this point, since i suggest using a bibtex generator (choose one from google). Our example will contain a single book and look like this:
If you don’t want to use a BibTeX generator or a reference management tool like Citavi (which generates BibTeX files automatically for you), you can find more examples of BibTeX formats here.
After creating the bibtex file, we have to tell LaTeX where to find our bibliographic database. For BibTeX this is not much different from printing the table of contents. We just need the commands \bibliography which tells LaTeX the location of our .bib file and \bibliographystyle which selects one of various bibliographic styles.
By using this code, we will obtain something like this:
I named my .bib file lesson7a1.bib, note that I did not enter the .bib extension. For the style, I’ve choosen the ieeetr style, which is very common for my subject, but there are many more styles available. Which will change the way our references look like. The ieeetr style will mark citations with successive numbers such as [1] in this example. If I choose the style to apalike instead, i will get the following result:
Most editors will let you select, to run bibtex automatically on compilation. In TeXworks (MiKTeX) for example, this should be selected by default.
If you use a different editor, it can be necessary to execute the bibtex command manually. In a command prompt/shell simply run:
It is necessary to execute the pdflatex command, before the bibtex command, to tell bibtex what literature we cited in our paper. Afterwards the .bib file will be translated into the proper output for out references section. The next two steps merge the reference section with our LaTeX document and then assign successive numbers in the last step.
Autogenerate footnotes in \(\LaTeX\) using BibLaTeX
The abilities of BibTeX are limited to basic styles as depicted in the examples shown above. Sometimes it is necessary to cite all literature in footnotes and maintaining all of them by hand can be a frustrating task. At this point BibLaTeX kicks in and does the work for us. The syntax varies a bit from the first document. We now have to include the biblatex package and use the \autocite and \printbibliography command. It is crucial to move the \bibliography{lesson7a1} statement to the preamble of our document:
The \autocite command generates the footnotes and we can enter a page number in the brackets \autocite[1]{DUMMY:1} will generate a footnote like this:
For BibLaTeX we have to choose the citation style on package inclusion with:
The backend=bibtex part makes sure to use BibTeX instead of Biber as our backend, since Biber fails to work in some editors like TeXworks. It took me a while to figure out how to generate footnotes automatically, because the sources I found on the internet, didn’t mention this at all.
BibTeX Formats
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of BibTeX formats, but rather give you an idea of how to cite various sources properly. If you’re interested in an extensive overview of all BibTeX formats, I suggest you to check out the resources on Wikibooks.
Inbook (specific pages)
This is a list of the formats that I have most commonly used. If you think some important format is missing here, please let me know.
Here’s a quick overview of some popular styles to use with BibTeX.
I’m trying to keep this list updated with other commonly used styles. If you’re missing something here, please let me know.
- Generate a bibliography with BibTeX and BibLaTeX
- First define a .bib file using: \bibliography{BIB_FILE_NAME} (do not add .bib)
- For BibTeX put the \bibliography statement in your document , for BibLaTeX in the preamble
- BibTeX uses the \bibliographystyle command to set the citation style
- BibLaTeX chooses the style as an option like: \usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=verbose-trad2]{biblatex}
- BibTeX uses the \cite command, while BibLaTeX uses the \autocite command
- The \autocite command takes the page number as an option: \autocite[NUM]{}

BibTeX Reference Formatting
B ib T E X references are formatted in the following style:
@type { unique_identifier , field1 = "value", field2 = "value", field3 = "value", ... }
Field values can either be enclosed in quotes, as above, or in curly braces (e.g. field1 = {value} )
The @type field identifies the type of resource. Common types include:
- @conference (or @proceedings )
- @inbook (book chapter/section)
- @mastersthesis
- @misc (outside the normal categories, used for websites)
Various fields are available to use. Standard ones include:
- author (i.e. city)
- address
BibTeX Basics
B ib T E X is the bibliographic side of L A T E X. Technically speaking, B ib T E X is a specific program which processes bibliographic data and interfaces between . tex and .bib files. However, it is used as a catch-all term for a number of L A T E X bibliographic tools with similar functionality. Collectively, these tools get lumped into the term “B ib T E X.” In essence “using B ib T E X” has come to mean managing references in a .bib file, rather than doing them by hand.
Every B ib T E X citation needs a unique identifier. This is the first item after the opening curly brace, as shown in the example to the left. A best practice is to use a standard system for assigning identifiers, such as the author's last name and year (e.g. sackson1969 ).
Though they all work similarly, each bibliographic tool in L A T E X has its own syntax. The UPenn dissertation template uses the natbib package, in which the standard citation command is \citep{ identifier } . As an example, suppose you want to cite the following reference:
@book{ engel1961, author = "Leonard Engel", title = "Medicine Makers of Kalamazoo", publisher = "McGraw-Hill", address = "New York", year = "1961" }
In your .tex file, use the command \citep{ engel1961 } . By default, the citation will be display as [Engel, 1961] . If you are using the UPenn dissertation template, the citations are pre-formatted, so it will instead display as (Engel, 1961) .
In order to use natbib , you must first add the proper commands to your .tex file. ( NOTE: If you are using the UPenn dissertation template, these commands are already included, so you can skip this step. ) There are three standard commands. The first two go in the preamble:
\usepackage{ natbib } \bibliographystyle{ plainnat }
And the last one goes just before the \end{ document } command:
\bibliography{ filename }
Note that the filename does not include the .bib extension.
There are various ways to customize your references and citations. Ample documentation can be found on Overleaf and elsewhere.

- author : The name(s) of the author(s) of the paper.
- title : The title of the paper.
- booktitle : The name of the conference proceedings.
- year : The year the conference was held.
Optional fields for a conference entry include:
- editor : The name(s) of the editor(s) of the conference proceedings.
- volume : The volume number of the proceedings.
- number : The number of the proceedings.
- series : The name of the series or set of books that the conference proceedings belong to.
- pages : The page numbers on which the paper appears.
- address : The location of the conference.
- month : The month in which the conference was held.
- organization : The organization that sponsored the conference.
- publisher : The publisher of the proceedings.
- note : Miscellaneous information.
Here is an example of a conference entry:
Using the Conference Entry Type in LaTeX
Once you have created a conference entry in your BibTeX file, you can reference it in your LaTeX document using the \cite command. For example:
In this example, the example_conference entry in the references.bib file is cited using the \cite command. The bibliography is then generated using the plain style.

Avoid plagiarism — quickly check for missing citations and check for writing mistakes., is this source credible consider the criteria below..
Is the purpose to entertain, sell, persuade, or inform/teach ? Journal articles are often designed to inform or teach. Books and websites could have any of these or a combination of the purposes above. So it is important to determine why the source was created and if it is appropriate for your research. For websites in particular, looking at their "About Us" page or "Mission Statement" can help you evaluate purpose.
Accuracy is the reliability and truthfulness of the source. Here are a few indicators of an accurate source:
- Citations or a works cited list. For websites, this can be links to other credible sites.
- Evidence that backs up claims made by the author(s).
- Text that is free of spelling and grammatical errors.
- Information that matches that in other, credible sources.
- Language that is unbiased and free of emotion.
Based on the above the source could be accurate, inaccurate, a mixture of accurate and inaccurate, or hard to tell.
Authority: Author
The author is the individual or organization who wrote the information in the book, in the journal article, or on the website. If no author is listed, there may be another contributor instead. For example, an editor or a translator. A credible author has:
- Written several articles or books on the topic.
- Provided contact information. For example, an email address, mailing address, social media account, etc.
- The experience or qualifications to be an expert on the topic.
Authority: Publisher
The credibility of the publisher can contribute to the authority of a source. The publisher can be a person, company or organization. Authoritative publishers:
- Accept responsibility for content.
- Are often well-known.
- Often publish multiple works on the same or related topics.
Relevance describes how related or important a source is to your topic. While a source may be credible, it does not necessarily mean it is relevant to your assignment. To determine relevance, you should:
- Determine the website's intended audience. Look at the level of the information and the tone of the writing. For example, is it meant for academics or the general public?
- Make sure that the information is related to your research topic.
- Make sure that the information helps you answer your research question.
A publication date is an important part of evaluating the credibility of a source and its appropriateness for your topic. It is generally best to use content that was recently published or updated, but depending on your assignment, it may be appropriate to use older information. For example, a journal entry from Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War is too outdated to use in a discussion about modern politics and war, but would be appropriate for a paper about the Civil War. Consider the following when evaluating currency:
- Was it published or updated recently? If a website, is there even a publication date listed?
- Is the date of the source appropriate or inappropriate for my assignment?
After analyzing your source, do you believe it is credible, not credible, partially credible, or are you unsure? If you are still unsure, it may help to ask your instructor a librarian for assistance.

A complete guide to the BibTeX format
- What is BibTeX?
BibTeX is reference management software for formatting reference lists and in-text citations in combination with the typesetting system LaTeX. The reference entries are stored in BibTeX’s own special format, which is usually denoted with the file extension *.bib. Managing your references with BibTeX comes in especially handy for large documents such as a PhD thesis or a research paper. For even greater ease in reference management consider using reference manager with BibTeX support.
- BibTeX format explained
Due to its simple structure and the fact that a simple text editor is enough to generate and edit BibTeX files, BibTeX has become one of the standard formats to store and share bibliographic data.
Each BibTeX reference consist of three parts:
Part 1: the entry type
In its current version BibTeX features 14 entry types. A BibTeX entry start with the @ sign followed by the entry type name. Everything that belongs to the entry is enclosed in curly brackets.
Part 2: the citekey
The citekey is the name that is used to uniquely identify the BibTeX entry. It can be any combination of letters and digits and follows immediately after the opening bracket of the BibTeX entry.
Part 3: a list of key-value pairs storing the bibliographic data
Finally, the bibliographic data is stored by a list of predefined field types and their corresponding values.
Let's illustrate on an example. Here is a BibTeX entry for the famous "The Art of Computer Programming" by Donald E. Knuth.
- Entry types
BibTeX features 14 entry types that help your organize your references. Each entry type has its own set of required an optional fields to store the bibliographic data that is needed to format the references correctly.
Here is a complete listing of the BibTeX entry types including a short description:
- article : any article published in a periodical like a journal article or magazine article
- book : a book
- booklet : like a book but without a designated publisher
- conference : a conference paper
- inbook : a section or chapter in a book
- incollection : an article in a collection
- inproceedings : a conference paper (same as the conference entry type)
- manual : a technical manual
- masterthesis : a Masters thesis
- misc : used if nothing else fits
- phdthesis : a PhD thesis
- proceedings : the whole conference proceedings
- techreport : a technical report, government report or white paper
- unpublished : a work that has not yet been officially published
The citekey can be any combination of alphanumeric characters including the characters "-", "_", and ":". The most frequent pattern is to use the last name of the first author followed by the year. Let's illustrate the concept on the book "The Theoretical Minimum" by George Hrabovsky and Leonard Susskind originally published 2013.
It's also possible to list all authors or even the title in the citekey. The longer the citekey is the more likely it is unique by chance, but that comes at the price of more typing and the citekeys are more difficult to remember.
BibTeX comes with a list of standard fields that are supported by most citation styles. Each entry type has required fields and optional fields. Optional field store additional information that might not be present for each reference, but can still be included in the bibliography entry. Due to the flexible definition of the BibTeX format there are also many non-standard fields that are frequently used, but are only supported by selected BibTeX styles.
Standard field types
- address : address of the publisher or the institution
- annote : an annotation
- author : list of authors of the work
- booktitle : title of the book
- chapter : number of a chapter in a book
- edition : edition number of a book
- editor : list of editors of a book
- howpublished : a publication notice for unusual publications
- institution : name of the institution that published and/or sponsored the report
- journal : name of the journal or magazine the article was published in
- month : the month during the work was published
- note : notes about the reference
- number : number of the report or the issue number for a journal article
- organization : name of the institution that organized or sponsored the conference or that published the manual
- pages : page numbers or a page range
- publisher : name of the publisher
- school : name of the university or degree awarding institution
- series : name of the series or set of books
- title : title of the work
- type : type of the technical report or thesis
- volume : volume number
- year : year the work was published
Non-standard field types
These fields are frequently used, but are not supported by all BibTeX styles.
- doi : DOI number (like 10.1038/d41586-018-07848-2)
- issn : ISSN number (like 1476-4687)

If retreivable, it depends where to retreive it. If it is published online, I would use the @online or indeed @misc as most answers citing webpages use that. To add the link to the retreivable resource use an url entry and be sure to load for example the hyperref package. If it is published elsewhere, you cite that source (@book etc.).
