I have:
-
A file with my dissertation: /home/robottinosino/dissertation.tex
-
A directory with my references: /home/robottinosino/references/
-
A set of 9 BibTex files to reference: /home/robottinosino/references/00{1..9}.bib
The current list of 9 references is bound to grow.
Question:
- How can I "automatically" include the BibTex files in /home/robottinosino/references/ in my Bibliography section and format these according to my Uni's guidelines? (conference proceedings, journal articles, …)
Is there a system that does this automatically? Is there a "best practice"?
Best Answer
You can separate the BibTeX files with commas, so
\bibliography{file1,file2,...}
You can put the entire path into the bibliography command, but this is obviously less than desirable.There is a $BIBINPUTS variable, the parallel of $TEXINPUTS, which you can use to set bibtex's search path.
For the formatting bit, surely you'll need to dig around for a style file that conforms to the guidelines or (gulp) write one yourself.
