The bibliography is read, by BibTeX, using the details -specified in a <em>bibliography style</em>. From the style, BibTeX -finds what entry types are permissible, what <em>fields</em> each entry -type has, and how to format the whole entry. -<p/>The type specifies the type of document you’re making reference to; it -may run all the way from things like “<code>Book</code>” and -“<code>Proceedings</code>” (which may even contain other citations -of type “<code>InBook</code>” or “<code>InProceedings</code>”) -through dissertation styles like “<code>PhdThesis</code>” to -otherwise-uncategorisable things such as “<code>Misc</code>”. The -unique key is something you choose yourself: it’s what you use when -you want to <a href="FAQ-usebibtex.html">cite an entry in the file</a>. People -commonly create a key that combines the (primary) author’s name and -the year of publication, possibly with a marker to distinguish -publications in the same year. So, for example, the Dyson, Eddington, -Davidson paper about deflection of starlight appears in my -experimental <code>.bib</code> file as <code>Dyson20.1</code>. -<p/>So, noting the rules of the style, you have ‘simply’ to write a -bibliography database. Fortunately, there are several tools to help -in this endeavour: -<ul> -<li> Most of the better <a href="FAQ-editors.html">(La)TeX-oriented editors</a> - have “BibTeX modes”. -<li> If you have an existing <code>thebibliography</code> - environment, the <i>Perl</i> script <i>tex2bib</i> will - probably help. -<li> There are a number of BibTeX bibliography management systems - available, some of which permit a graphical user interface to the - task. Sadly, none seems to be available with the ordinary TeX - distributions. -<p/> Tools such as <i>Xbibfile</i> (a graphical user interface), - <i>ebib</i> (a database application written to run ‘inside’ - <i>emacs</i>) and - <i>btOOL</i> (a set of <i>perl</i> tools for building - BibTeX database handlers) are available from CTAN. -<p/> Other systems, such as - <a href="http://refdb.sourceforge.net/"><i>RefDB</a></i>, - <a href="http://www.nongnu.org/biborb">BibORB</a>, - <a href="http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/"><i>BibDesk</a></i>, - <a href="http://pybliographer.org"><i>pybliographer</a></i> and the - <i>Java</i>-based - <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/bibkeeper/"><i>Bibkeeper</a></i> - and <a href="http://jabref.sourceforge.net"><i>JabRef</a></i> (which - claims to supersede <i>Bibkeeper</i>) - are only available from their development sites. - -<li> Some commercial citation-management systems will export in - BibTeX format; an example is - <a href="http://www.endnote.com/">EndNote</a>. -<li> Data from on-line citation databases may often be translated to - BibTeX format by utilities to be found on CTAN. For - example, the <i>Perl</i> script <i>isi2bibtex</i> will - translate citations from ISI “Web of knowledge” (a - subscription service, available to UK academics via - BIDS).
