bibliographies
I am using IEEEtran to format my references in IEEE format as a part of my thesis work. My project supervisor wants me to increase the line spacing in references section. I am using .bib file for my references.
Please refer to the attached image. The references have very little line spacing by default. I want to have something like double line spacing in the reference section also. How should I do it ?
If you use biblatex+biber it's simple. The syntax for producing a bibliography is slightly different: you define the .bib files in the preamble with the \addbibresource command, load biblatex, and simply write\printbibliography where you want it to be. Note I changed the input encoding to utf8 as biber understands it.
Also, times is obsolete, you should use mathptmx or even better, newtx. I don't see why you should load psfig and epsfig, since you load `graphicx.
\documentclass[oneside,12pt,leqno]{book}
\oddsidemargin=0pt
\evensidemargin=0pt
\topmargin=-0.5in
\textwidth=6.5in
\textheight=9.5in
%\topmargin=-1.5in

\printbibliography
\end{document}
You need to (a) change the label of the doi field to note and (b) encase the doi string in a \url{...} directive. (The IEEEtran document class loads the url package automatically.)
A full MWE:
\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{mybib.bib}
@ARTICLE{r6,
author = {A. C. Seabaugh and Q. Zhang},
journal = {Proceedings of the IEEE},
title = {Low-Voltage Tunnel Transistors for Beyond {CMOS} Logic},
year = {2010},
volume = {98},
number = {12},
pages = {2095-2110},
keywords= {CMOS logic circuits;MOSFET;},
note = {doi: \url{10.1109/JPROC.2010.2070470}},
ISSN = {0018-9219},
month = dec,
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[colorlinks,urlcolor=blue]{hyperref} % optional
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}
Incidentally, you should change the month field from month={Dec} to month=dec (no curly braces, lowercase "d"). You should also encase the word "CMOS" in curly braces to prevent BibTeX from lowercasing it.
Best Answer
To change line-spacing in a LaTeX document, either for the document as a whole or for selected parts, it's a good idea to load the setspace package in the preamble. Then, if the linespacing needs to be increased just for the bibliography, simply issue the instruction
immediately before
\bibliography{...}if you use BibTeX, or immediately before\printbibliographyif you usebiblatex.Aside: Loading the
setspacepackage and issuing a\setstretchdirective is safer, in general, than using the low-level TeX macros\baselineskipand\linespread.
