References are generated by the use of \cite {key}
,
where key is a bibliography citation key, usually constructed
from author name and last 2 digits of the year, such as lubars90
or biggerstaff86c. The additional letters a, b, c, etc.
are used to disambiguate if more than one paper appears in the same
year. The citation will appear in the text as: [#!lubars90!#] for
lubars90, and
[#!biggerstaff86c!#,#!biggerstaff86d!#] for two papers by biggerstaff in 1986.
The order list of references will be inserted at the appropriate point
in the document, by using the \bibliography
command.
The references are extracted by citation key from a bibliography file,
called a .bib file. For the template.tex file, this is
template.bib.
The .bib file should mimic the structure of the file template.bib. Each citation has a structure similar to:
@techreport(lubars90, AUTHOR="M.D. Lubars", INSTITUTION="Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation", TITLE="{The ROSE-2 Strategies for Supporting High-Level Software Design Reuse}", YEAR="1990", Number="STP-303-90")The first line indicates the type of citation article, techreport, book, inproceedings, etc., and the citation key. The subsequent lines provide a required or optional fields for the author, title, month, year, journal, booktitle, publisher or institution as appropriate.
