[Tex/LaTex] How to set BibTeX bibliography title

bibliographiesnaming

Currently my bibliography says "Literatur" (german). But I want something completely different there. How can I achieve that?

Best Answer

If you're using, say,

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

put the following in your preamble

\addto\captionsngerman{\renewcommand{\refname}{Whatever}}

if you're using the article class, or

\addto\captionsngerman{\renewcommand{\bibname}{Whatever}}

for the book or report classes. KoMa classes use the same commands: \refname for scrartcl and \bibname for scrreprt and scrbook.

This does not depend on BibTeX, but on the document class. The article class uses the \refname macro (which is defined as References) when typesetting the bibliography heading; the book and report class use \bibname (which is defined as Bibliography). So try to add e.g. the following to your preamble:

\renewcommand{\bibname}{Whatever floats your boat}

EDIT: Special bibliography packages may use a different mechanism.

The authordate1-4 package alters what you need to do to change the name you want, instead of altering \bibname you need to alter \bibtitle and \bibheadtitle. So add this:

\renewcommand{\bibtitle}{Literatur}
\renewcommand{\bibheadtitle}{Literatur}

Somewhen before your \bibliography command and all will be well.
