While answering this question on old programming books I responded about Jerry Weinberg's "The Psychology of Computer Programming" (sanitised Amazon link). Here's a quote from my answer: I first read about it in Ed Yourdon's book "The Decline and Fall of the American Programmer" (sanitised Amazon link). Ed's book is rather dated now ...
I read that defined styles are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Bibliography\Style I use ISO 690 and when I insert citation field placeholder for a reference in document, it uses the following format (source_number). But I need to change that to [source_number], replace () parantheses with []. Could someone experi...
I have some citations for sections of my document that I have put in the section heading: \section{The title \cite{abc}, \cite{def}} Text I am also using the table of contents function, but Latex must look at the citations in the headings (for the table of contents) first and assign them the first citation rankings, regardless of their...
Having looked through the Word help and online resources about customising bibliographies in Microsoft Word, and finding several posts on customising the 'style' and XSL transformation 'layout' of bibliography source templates, I am sure, given the dynamic functionality provided in this area that it must be possible to create custom sour...
I'm looking for a way to define new BibTeX style or to customize existing one. I have two reasons for this: I want the author names/editors to be italic (for articles in book, book, magazines, encyclopedia etc) I want numbers at the beginning Example: Secondname, B. Book title. Place Year. Site number. Article author, A. Article ti...
Hi People. I'm trying to solve the relational model in order to make a Django app. I't will be something like a McDonald's crew scheduler. I mean the grid with colored pins marking who will be working at a given hour a given weekday. I did try to Google out some example, but I didn't find anything.

I'm writing a grant application and space is at a premium. I want LaTeX to print my references section without line breaks, so References [1] [2] [3] becomes References [1], [2], [3] I don't think the exact references style is too important (this is NSF), but I can't seem to find any bibliography style that will do this. ...
Hi, I got a text document (word or pdf) which has at the end a lot of bibliographic references. Do you know about some approach/program that can export them to bibtex or endnote? Thanks ...
A common BibTeX key convention is last name of lead author followed by year (e.g. Knuth1972). Sometimes this choice is problematic: It could lead to key collisions due to authors with same last name or several publications by the same author in one year. It is hard to tell the subject of the publication from its BibTeX key when editing...
I have many references in Referencer. I'm trying to include filenames in my bibtex file when exporting from Referencer. Since the software doesn't do this by default I'm trying to use a sed command to include the filename as a bibtex information in the XML file before I export and thus include the filename. Input <doc> <filename>...
I have been working with tetex on Zenwalk and now that I compile my report with texlive, the behavior is a bit different. I would like my bibliography to fit in one page like before and I just need to change the space before the title of the bibliographie chapter. Do you know how I can manage that? Thanks ...
I want to generate the bibliography for each section, and have it at the end of the section. When I do this at the moment it generates the full bibliography and places it after each section. Is there a way that this can be done? The advice here says "The chapterbib package provides an option sectionbib that puts the bibliogra...
Hi! I'm using OO 3.1 and would like to find any way to store my bibliography and OO native tool is rather uncomfortable and takes a lot time to put info. So, I'm looking for any plug-in or tool to simplify this task ...
I'm using the MLA authoring style. I would like to print out a bibliography subdivided into different sections. I also want annotations on each source. Is this possible with BibLaTeX? Should I just do it manually? ...
Hey all, I'm writing an MSc dissertation and I'm having difficulty getting the longnamesfirst option working in natbib. My University has a very specific referencing style a little like APA, but not quite the same.

I'm writing the bibliography of my report with thebibliography environment because I don't need a BibTeX database (or I don't have the time for learn how to customize or write a style). Well, using the optional argument [label] I can specify as I want the cite references are show, for example: \bibitem[PNUD1996]{PNUD1996} PNUD. Desarro...
Hey guys! I am currently searching for a reference management software to be used collaboratively in our research group. Unfortunately, the bigger proprietary software systems (like EndNote and Citavi) don't support synchronisation between different clients. We'd like to use a system which is network based (as in Client-Server or easy s...

I'd like to be able to print a single reference from a Bibtex .bib file anywhere in my LaTeX document -- not cite it, but print the reference, exactly as it would appear in the normal bibliography listing. So if this is a regular citation, that prints a bracketed reference: % Normal citation, appears as bracketed reference, e.g. [2] \c...
Hi all, I'm producing a set of documents in LaTeX, and I would like to provide a single, global bibliography page for the whole set. This is because each document is page-limited: I don't want to take up space with references at the bottom of each one. This means in each case, I would like to cite in the text, but not produce a referen...
