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.


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 BibTeX (and often the package 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.

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
