I have a bib file where I put all my references. Now I want to write a new paper in IEEETran style (\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
).
I want to integerate my bib to be compatible with IEEE style. How can I do it please?
Note that in the template they use:
\begin{thebibliography}{00}
\bibitem{b1} bla bla
\end{thebibliography}

If you plan to submit to the IEEE you should follow their recommendations if at all possible.
In particular you should not use
biblatex-ieee
if you plan to submit to the IEEE. That style is only intended for people who for some reason need to recreate the IEEE style for documents that are not submitted for IEEE publishing. See also https://github.com/josephwright/biblatex-ieee/pull/22#issuecomment-206542227The
IEEEtran
documentation has the following to say about bibliographies (p. 16, §XIII.C Bibliographies)You should definitely have a thorough look at the
IEEEtran
documentation and theIEEEtran
BibTeX Style manual for more details and specific guidance.Assuming your
.bib
file is calledIEEEexample.bib
, you could useYou would compile that file normally with LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX, see Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number
Once you are done and want to submit your file to the IEEE, compile the file with the LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX sequence one last time and replace the two lines
with the contents of your
.bbl
file to obtain (in this example)a document that compiles to the same output, but does not depend on external files.
