Bib Your TeX: Citing Sources with LaTeX
Bib Your TeX: Citing Sources with LaTeX In-Person
BibTeX, like many citation tools, is a way to save time and avoid that last-minute hunt for citation information that takes the time of many academic researchers. It is designed to be used with the LaTeX typesetting system (and variants like XeTeX and LuaLaTeX). The best way to use it, though, is to bundle it into what you do upstream while locating articles and books and sifting through the information in your research area.
Recommended audience: People who have basic knowledge of LaTeX
Pre-session work: Register for an Overleaf.com account with your yale.edu email. Optional: Bring some citations to import.
Learning outcomes:
- Participants will call citation packages, style files, and bib files in their LaTeX documents.
- Participants will create and edit entries in a bib file.
- Participants will know where to find the export tools for BibTeX in major literature searching tools like Google Scholar and the Web of Science, in addition to databases hosted on several common library platforms.
- Participants will have a plan for organizing their references in a tool like Mendeley, Zotero, or BibDesk.
This workshop will take 45 minutes, with time for questions at the end.
