What’s happening here? All my references are stored in bibtex format in a database file called “mycollection.bib”. An example of the end of a document is shown below. This might be especially handy when you find out that your sort of proteins fall out of the scope of the International Journal of Eating Disorders and you now want to submit to a journal that requires you to list authors in small-caps, and the dates of publication in seconds from the Unix epoch.Ī good way of including references in latex is with a “.bib” file and a “.bst” file. Moving figures around is still a black art as far as I’m concerned… but I’ve recently found out an easy way to reformat references. Unfortunately, it is often hard to direct latex’s magic… just try moving a picture an inch to the right, or reformatting a reference. In latex it is easy to automagically renumber everything just by recompiling the document. Had you written your research in latex instead, this drudgery would have been replaced by a range of much more interesting and intractable difficulties. What a drag! There goes 5 minutes of your life that could have been better spent drinking beer. Suddenly you realize that your second sentence needs a reference… and this will require you to renumber the subsequent 50. Nothing comes from nothing so you need to cite the 50 or so people whose ideas you built on, or who came to conclusions that contradict yours. Imagine you are writing up your latest thrilling piece of science in your favourite odt or docx format.
