+Notes on how to share bibtex files.
+
+Construction of citation keys:
+
+@article
+ Author:<abbrev-journal>-<volume or yyear>-<start page or month#>
+
+@inproceedings
+ Author:<abbrev-booktitle><yyear>-<start page> [no -, e.g, RIDT91]
+
+@incollection
+ Author:<abbrev-booktitle>-<yyear>-<start page>
+
+@proceedings
+@book
+@...thesis
+ Author:<abbrev-title>-<yyear>
+
+@unpublished
+ Author:<abbrev-title>-<yyear>-<month# or whatever>
+
+@techreport
+ Author:<abbrev-title>-<yyear> or
+ Author:<abbrev-inst>-<yyear>-<number>
+
+
+To make abbrev, use initial letters from the first three or so important
+words in the title. If title has one word, probably better to
+abbreviate it than to use just a single letter, as in `SCI' rather than
+`S' for the journal `Science'. For books it probably doesn't matter much.
+
+Use \#, \&, \$
+Use \allcaps
+
+journal string prefix `j-'
+publisher `pub-'
+publisher address `pub-<publisher>:adr'
+institution `inst-'
+
+
+This book has a good collections of journal abbreviations:
+
+Coden for Periodical Titles, Volume 1, ASTM Data Series DS 23A,
+American Society for Testing and Materials, 1916 Race St, Philadelphia, PA 19103
+
+
+CONVENTIONS (for naming BibTeX citation keys)
+
+Books are tagged by the first author's last name, a colon, up to 3
+upper-case letters taken from the first three upper-case words in the
+title (ignoring words like A, And, The), followed by the last two digits
+of the publication year. 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.
