1 This file gives an overview on what you will need to do to create a
|
rlm@421
|
2 bibliographic database for references, as well as create the actual
|
rlm@421
|
3 bibliography for your thesis.
|

|
5 You should not need to touch the file biblio.tex. This merely tells
|
rlm@421
|
6 latex to look for the file with the bibliographic info. The file you
|
rlm@421
|
7 want to edit is main.bib. For each entry, use the appropriate style
|
rlm@421
|
8 as designated in the file.

10 Citing your references:
|
rlm@421
|
11
|
rlm@421
|
12 When you cite a reference, you need to use the ``key'' you declare in
|
rlm@421
|
13 main.bib for the entry. No one ever sees the keys, but you'll want to
|
rlm@421
|
14 use something you will easily remember. For instance, if you had an
|
rlm@421
|
15 entry with:
|
rlm@421
|
16
|
rlm@421
|
17 key=geer1
|
rlm@421
|
18
|
rlm@421
|
19 Then you would use \cite{geer1} to reference it within your thesis.

|
21 NOTE: You can not include references in your bibliography that are
|
rlm@421
|
22 never cited in your paper by default. If you need to do this, create a
|
rlm@421
|
23 key for the entry and at the end of your thesis include the line:
|
rlm@421
|
24
|
rlm@421
|
25 \nocite{key}
|
rlm@421
|
26
|
rlm@421
|
27 This should be done for every entry which is not explicitly cited.
