Is there a way of preventing LaTeX class article from printing keyword References. Namely, I would like to get LaTeX to print references from my database processed by BibTeX in the regular fashion but I do not word References to appear on the document.

Best Answer
article
defines thethebibliography
environment to typeset the references as a\section*
. Additionally, it also modifies the headers appropriately to denote a *References "section". If you want to completely remove this from your output and just set the bibliography items, you could useThe first two command redefinitions (of
\@startsection
and\@mkboth
) just gobbles their arguments. Grouping keeps the redefinition local so you can still use\section
(and friends) afterword. A "cleaner" redefinition would be to useHere's the original definition of
thebibliography
, giving rise to the above redefinitions (I've marked the two commands we want to "remove" via the redefinitions):The latter redefinition of
\section
assumes the 5 arguments (or tokens) absorbed are#1
:*
#2
:\refname
(the braces{
}
are dropped by default)#3
:\@mkboth
#4
:\MakeUppercase\refname
#5
:\MakeUppercase\refname
and is therefore class-specific. You could even go one step further and redefine it (
\section
) to do whatever you want as a replacement. For examplewould leave a
20pt
vertical space before printing the bibliography entries.
