[Tex/LaTex] How to cite a lecture note with the refer date and webpage

bibtexciting

I am referring a lecture note from Andrew Sutherland, named Elliptic Curves provided on the related webpage.

I need to cite "14.Ordinary and supersingular curves" note, with the date which I refer the note and the link for the webpage, in my latex document using BibTeX. What is the most suitable Citation style and how I can type this in BibTeX file? I have used alpha style, but webpage links are not showing for that style.

Please recommend me a good reference style which support that too.

Best Answer

If a bibliography style (such as alpha) is sufficiently old so as not be be programmed to recognize and process a field called url, simply dump the URL-related information in the note field. I suggest you use the @misc entry type along with the natbib citation management package.

The following entry serves to refer to the totality of the lecture notes from the course in question. Make suitable adjustments if you want to create a reference to just one lecture.

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{mybib.bib}
@misc{sutherland-notes,
  author = "Andrew Sutherland",
  title  = "{MIT Mathematics 18.783, Lecture Notes: Elliptic Curves}",
  note   = "URL: \url{https://math.mit.edu/classes/18.783/2015/lectures.html}. 
            Last visited on 2017/07/01",
  year   = 2015,
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hyphens,spaces]{url}
\usepackage{natbib}
\citestyle{alpha} 
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,urlcolor=blue,citecolor=cyan} % choose suitable colors

\begin{document}
\cite{sutherland-notes}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}
