How to cite an unpublished thesis (I have not passed my PhD exam yet; so my thesis has not been published yet)?
In BibTex, I tried:
@phdthesis{r2014,
author = {... ...},
title = {...},
school = {...},
year = {2014}
%note = {unpublished thesis}
}
however, the last entry is just a "note" and "unpublished" does not show up in the citation output.
On the other hand, if I use @unpublished
rather than @phdthesis
, the output does not show anything about this work being a phd thesis.
any ideas?

I would say this depends on your bibliographic style and personal taste.
Using
biblatex
and the default style, you can get (code below):There is something else : the school is not printed, so you have to tweak to add it (as a note, or something else).
Personally, I would definitely choose the
@phdthesis
forbib
file, as you will just have to comment theunpublished
.Code :
