The bibliography (we will not diffrentiate between this and a reference list on this page) is a common part of most articles. The setup of the bibliography and corresponding style used can vary from a number of specifically given definitions to an "as long as it looks good"-requirement. The main motivation behind this page however, will be to give you an introduction to bibliographies in LaTeX, thus making you capable of compiling your own style based on your given requirements.


Info

If you are not already heavily invested in a specific style of bibliography management, we will recommend using BibLaTeX. As stated by Overleaf, this "package provides localization in several languages, it's actively developed and makes bibliography management easier and more flexible."

The other option is to use natbib, which is both reliable and widely used. However, as it is not being further developed (as well as other disadvantages that you can read about here), we will not have it as our main priority

References and bibliography is something many students find somewhat difficult in LaTeX. We will not go too deep into the depths of LaTeX bibliography, but rather aim to introduce you to the fundamentals plus some more.

For more detailed information on bibliography in LaTeX, we recommend Overleaf on Bibliography and especially LaTeX/Bibliography Management.

Although there are several ways of including sources in LaTeX, we will mainly look at the method involving BibTeX

Citations

The in-line citation style is dependent on the overall bibliography style, but does not vary by a lot. 


BibLaTeX

For the tutorial on BibLaTeX, we have chosen not to write our own, but rather refer you to the 'Local guide to BibLaTeX' (UiO, 2019) by Knut Hegna and Dag Langmyhr and 'Bibliography management with biblatex' by Overleaf. The reason for this is simply because it's better than what we would have been able to produce ourselves. None the less, several additional working examples will be added to this sections at a later point in time.

If you are looking to dive even further into the details of BibLaTeX, we recommend the BibLaTeX package documentation.
