I'm using BibTex with the style called "alpha."  I am generally happy with the way it creates short labels, and have no desire to edit the style file or use a different style or anything like that.    There are one or two instances though where I would like to manually override the way it shortens names, but there are no obvious ways to do so.  Are there any ways to modify the .bib file that affects the way alpha determines its labels?  Add an extra entry, or put brackets around the names, or put the authors in two seperate fields, or something?  Something that affects just one bibliographic entry, not all of the entries.    For context, if it helps, my specific situation is that I have a lot of citations from the same authors ([ABC19] and [ABC17] etc by Arnold, Bob and Charles), and there is one paper by authors with all the same initials ([ABC18] but now it's Alvin, Brian and Cyril), so the short label is misleading.  The best solution would be to change the label slightly ([AlBrCy18]) so it's immediately obvious this is different people.

I want to do amsalpha style citation with BibTeX, except that I want to have manual control over the key/labels (e.g., [ABC09]). Is there an option for this?

I've started writing my thesis using LaTeX (as recommended by the school) and as a complete novice at it, I've been stuck trying to figure out how to change the citation by order of appearance.  I'm using the natbib package and a custom bibliography style that I found on the net, with my referencing going by the author-year (John et al., 2005) style as opposed to numeric [1,3]. I have done some searching but most of my results come up with people using the numeric system and being a complete beginner at this, I have yet to tinker around with something that works.  The citation I have currently looks like this: (Frank et al., 2005; John et al., 2002; Matthew, 2008)  I would like to sort it by year or turn off sorting so it will show up in the order I type it in the document.  E.g.: (John et al., 2002; Frank et al., 2005; Matthew, 2008)    The citing and bibliography itself are perfect, I'm only concerned with the citation order being unsorted (or sorted by appearance in the document), as currently it is sorting everything alphabetically by name. So my question is, how would one achieve sorting the references in the citation by appearance (or turning off alphabetical sorting) using natbib and a customized bibliostyle? And if that is not possible, could someone point me in the right direction on obtaining a similar effect?  Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Should we add red asterisk before or after the label of required fields, i.e., to the left or the right of the field name? My boss prefers to add the asterisk before the labels, but I like to add them at the end. Which is more user-friendly?

Using the alpha bibliography style, citations are sorted by the citation key. I'd like to use the same style of authors-year citation keys (e.g., [CP92]) but have the bibliography sorted by the first author's lastname instead of alphabetically by the citation key itself. This would keep the same papers by the same first author together.  For example, alpha would produce the following sorted order:        [Cha81] D. Chaum. Untraceable...   [CL04] J. Camenisch and A. Lysyanskaya. Signature...   [CP92] D. Chaum and T. Pedersen. Wallet...      Whereas, abbr would produce the following sorted order:        [1] J. Camenisch and A. Lysyanskaya. Signature...   [2] D. Chaum. Untraceable...   [3] D. Chaum and T. Pedersen. Wallet...      I am looking for the same sorting as abbr but maintaining the citation key style of alpha.  Is there a way to achieve this hybrid style?

I am using biblatex for my bibliography, and the style is alphabetic. More precisely, in the preamble I have  \usepackage[babel]{csquotes} \usepackage[maxnames=99,style=alphabetic,backend=bibtex]{biblatex} \addbibresource{bibliography.bib}   In the bibliography I need to include a two word surname. This is what I have in the .bib file  @article{dJ97, author = {de Jong, A. J.}, title = {Families of curves and alterations}, journaltitle = {Annales de l'institut Fourier}, year = {1997}, volume = {47}, number = {2}, pages = {599-621}, }   In this way, the abbreviation produced is [Jon97], and is alphabetized as a surname starting with J. On the other hand, I have always seen this author alphabetized under d (which I guess should be the correct outcome), and the abbreviation including the "d" of "de". After a quick look online, I just found co-authored works of the author cited in a bibliography style as I have, and the abbreviation is "dJ" followed by other capital letters for the other authors. So, in my case, I guess that the right outcome should be something like [dJo97], or [dJon97].  Which one should the right outcome in my case? How do I get it?

When using biblatex, suppose I have set up two separate bibliographies, how can I assign them different styles, e.g. one numbered and the other author-year format or some such thing.  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage[defernumbers=true]{biblatex}  \DeclareBibliographyCategory{cited} \AtEveryCitekey{\addtocategory{cited}{\thefield{entrykey}}}  \usepackage{filecontents}  \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib} @misc{A01,   author = {Author, A.},   year = {2001},   title = {Alpha}, }  @misc{B02,   author = {Buthor, B.},   year = {2002},   title = {Bravo}, }  @misc{C03,   author = {Cuthor, C.},   year = {2003},   title = {Charlie}, } \end{filecontents}  \bibliography{\jobname}  \begin{document}  \nocite{*}  \cite{A01,B02}  \printbibliography[title={References},category=cited]  \printbibliography[title={Further Reading},notcategory=cited]  \end{document}

Say I use a bibliography file in my document, relying on Biblatex and Biber for citation management.  Given a citation command such as \cite{A, B, C} (or any other standard Biblatex citation command), I'd like the resulting citations to be typeset differently depending on whether a given field (e.g. the author field) in the corresponding bibliography entry contains a given string (e.g. someone's lastname).   Besides, I'd like to generate two different bibliography sections in the resulting document, depending on the same condition as above.  Typically this would be used to differentiate, both at the citation level in the main text and in the appendix, the publications that I co-authored from others.  EDIT: adding a MWE:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{filecontents} \usepackage[backend=biber,style = alphabetic]{biblatex} \usepackage[colorlinks=true, breaklinks, allcolors = blue]{hyperref} \DeclareSourcemap{%   \maps[datatype=bibtex]{%     \map{%       \step[fieldsource=author, match=Doe, final]%       \step[fieldset=keywords, fieldvalue=doe]%     }%   }% } \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib} @Book{p1,   author =       "A.

My understanding is that bibtex lets the citation style handle capitalization of titles, which is what I would expect from an automated citation tool. Do biblatex and Biber also do this? The document I am working on with these tools seems to be preserving the capitalization in the bib database, which is NOT what I want, and I haven't found any clear references that explain what the expected behavior is.

I'm using classicthesis and have a problem with the header of my bibliography: instead of small caps I receive normalfont letters. I don't know how to make a reproducible MWE, because when I load a bibliography with   \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{example} \bibitem{example} \bibitem{example} \end{thebibliography}   the problem doesn't occur. And in the classicthesis-package itself, the bibliography is too short to show the problem (header starts at the second page).  So here's what I'm doing:   \documentclass[ twoside,openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,headinclude,footinclude=true,              cleardoublepage=empty,             fontsize=11pt, ngerman,american]{scrbook} \input{classicthesis-config}  \bibliography{bibliography} % change to your own bibliography \renewcommand*{\bibname}{Bibliography} \setbibpreamble{}  \begin{document} \tableofcontents \pagestyle{scrheadings} \part{Introduction} \include{Chapters/test} % insert chapter with lots of citations  \manualmark \markboth{\spacedlowsmallcaps{\bibname}}{\spacedlowsmallcaps{\bibname}} % work-around to have small caps also \refstepcounter{dummy} \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\vspace{\beforebibskip}} % to have the bib a bit from the rest in the toc \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\tocEntry{\bibname}} \printbibliography   \end{document}   I'm not sure if this is working... if not you might have an idea anyway what I can try

I am trying to figure out how to make author's name and year show up every time I make a reference.  For example:  my_bibtex.bib has this entry:  @article{Franklin1999,  author = {Franklin Allen and Risto Karjalainen}, title = {Using genetic algorithms to find technical trading rules}, year = {1999}, volume = {51}, pages = {245-271}, journal = {Journal of Financial Economics}  }   If in my_paper.tex I use this line:  Important result has been found by \cite{Franklin1999}   My output looks like:  Important result has been found by [1]   But I want it too look like:  Important result has been found by Franklin 1999   I there a way to do it?  My bibliographystyle is set to plain  \bibliographystyle{plain}  \bibliography{my_bibtex}

Is there a way to rename (or do away with the name of) the bibliography page that is output using BibTeX?  If so, is the name dependent on the bibliographystyle, or is it something inherent within the BibTeX functionality?

I'm using biblatex to manage my citation in a natbib style :  \usepackage[style=alphabetic,maxnames=6,natbib=true]{biblatex}   However when I use the \citet command, the author's name is in a \textsc font, I would like to change this behavior so that the font used is the default one, but I could not find how to do this in biblatex's documentation.

I'm currently entering authors an a paper and I came across this problem:    As you can see there are multiple names on one line, though outside the page. I would like to get them on two lines. At the moment I'm using the \name tag. I tried separating the lines the sentence by adding two backslashes, but it did not help. (I get "! Missing } inserted." error.) I tried replacing the \name tag by \author, but it did not work.   Example:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{spconf,amsmath,graphicx} \usepackage{amsmath}  \usepackage{algorithm}  \usepackage{algpseudocode}  \usepackage{color} \usepackage{cite}   \title{Title}    \name{Name1$^{1}$, Name2$^{3}$, name3$^{3}$ name4 $^{1,2}$, name5,$^{2}$ name6 $^{2}$, name7$^{3}$}   %  \maketitle  %   \begin{abstract}   I tried:   \name{Name1$^{1}$, Name2$^{3}$, name3$^{3}$ name4\\ $^{1,2}$, name5,$^{2}$ name6 $^{2}$, name7$^{3}$}   But I get an error.

I only recently started using Latex for my university documents and for my current one I am using a template provided by them.  I am using bibtex to manage my sources. Here is an example bibtex-entry:  @misc{webpage1,    shorthand = {CompanyName},    author = {Company Name Ltd.},    title="The company's webplatform",    howpublished = "\url{http://company.com/}",    lastchecked = {01.01.2013},    year = 2013 }  @misc{webpage2,    shorthand = {OtherCompanyName},    author = {Some other Company Name Ltd.},    title="Another company's webplatform",    howpublished = "\url{http://other-company.com/}",    lastchecked = {01.01.2013},    year = 2013 }   In my Latex document I use the following code to create a bibliography:  \bibliography{references}    % this causes the references to be listed (file: references.bib) \bibliographystyle{alpha}   My problem is now that when I compile my document, the result is that the bibliography has the following format:  [Ltd13a] Full Company Name Ltd. [Ltd13b] Some Other Company Name Ltd.   I already tried putting a comma between the name and the Ltd. like so:  author = {Company Name, Ltd.}   but this results in this  [FC13a] Ltd. Full Company Name   I have read that shorthand is supposed to help, but I did not succeed.

I had been using bibtex and then biblatex for quite some time. For the newest edition of my book I moved to biber. I happened t notice that firstnames are sometimes generated and sometimes not. Has this been observed by others?   I have tried to make a minimal example but without success. Using the following code, which shows all the commands related to biblatex I have in my preamble I could not get the firstnames to be shown. Even with the stylefile I made for this book (second line) the error did not occur.  I have a dropbox with the latex files for the book available. I can give access to these.
