If there is a volume entry, it is appended to +the tag, prefixed by a hyphen. + +When appropriate, a van part is included in the author tag. For names +with accented letters, accents are dropped in the author tag. + +This scheme is systematic enough that it can be programmed: most of the +Addison-Wesley book entries were created with an awk program from a dump +of the AW database supplied by Mona Zeftel. Older entries in this +bibliography were modified on 28-Nov-1990 to conform to this tagging +scheme. + +The choice of a limit of 3 letters was determined from experiments on +the Addison-Wesley collection. Long tags are undesirable because they +are a nuisance to type, and also interfere with the tagged bibliography +output produced using the LaTeX showtags style option. + +Journal article tags look like author:abbrev-volume-number-page, where +the author part is the last name of the first author: for example, +Gilchrist:NAMS-36-9-1199. + +Technical report tags look like author:abbrev-number: for example, +Billawala:STAN-CS-89-1256. + +InProceedings tags look like author:conferencename-page: for example, +Agostini:TEX85-117. + +With few exceptions, value fields for acknowledgement, address, journal, +and publisher keywords should use macros. This helps to ensure +consistency, and reduces the entry sizes. Address entries must always +include the country. |
