I am trying to modify the entry for @phdthesis  to show "PhD dissertation" instead of the normal "PhD thesis" as per the suggestion made .  However, on windows that has a Miktex installation, I cannot find the file where to make this change.  I am using this setup:  CODE  \documentclass{article}  %====================================================================================== %   BIBLIOGRAPHY %====================================================================================== \usepackage[backref=false,             defernumbers=true,             style = ieee,             %sorting=none,             sortcites=true,             backend=biber]{biblatex} \renewbibmacro{in:}{} \addbibresource{yourbibliography.bib}% BibTeX \defbibheading{bibempty}{}  \usepackage{filecontents}  \begin{filecontents*}{yourbibliography.bib}  @phdthesis{Cedra-Villafana:2005, abstract = {Gust avo C erda-V illafan a, B .En g ., M.Eng. t1{\~{}} University of m{\~{}} BRISTOL}, author = {Cedra-Villafana, Gustavo}, school = {University of Bristol}, title = {{Artificial intelligence techniques in flood forecasting}}, url = {https://research-information.bristol.ac.uk/files/34499658/412360.pdf}, note = {(Date last accessed 06-May-2019)}, year = {2005} }  \end{filecontents*}   \begin{document}  This is just some text \cite{Cedra-Villafana:2005}  \nocite{*} \printbibliography[heading=bibempty]   \end{document}   The closest that I came across was the ieeetr.bst file found in ...\user\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\bibtex\bst\bibtex.  I made the change here but it did not make a difference.    Is there a different place or .bst file that I have to modify to show up PhD dissertation in the references?  Thanks.

Using biblatex and Biber, I want my bibliography to say "Ph.D. thesis" (with periods) rather than "PhD thesis" (without). MWE:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{biblatex} \addbibresource{refs.bib} \begin{document} Hello \cite{testphd} \printbibliography \end{document}   and refs.bib:  @thesis{testphd,   title       = {Thesis Title},   author      = {Surname, Firstname},   date        = {2010},   institution = {Faculty of X, University of Y},   type        = {phdthesis},   location    = {Somewhere}, }   Output:    What's the easiest way to do this? I don't want to change the .bib file ideally.

In my .bib file, I have this entry:  @conference{HCS96,   title={The Virtual Cinematographer: A Paradigm for Automatic Real-time Camera Control and Directing},   author={Li-wei He and Michael F. Cohen and Davih H. Salesin},   booktitle={Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques},   pages={217--224},   isbn={0897917464},   year={1996},   organization={ACM} }   When I compile my thesis, I get this entry in the bibliography:  [wei He et al., 1996] wei He, L., Cohen, M. F., and Salesin, D. H. (1996). The virtual cinematographer: A paradigm for automatic real-time camera control and directing. In Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, pages 217–224. ACM.   Why is the name of the first author produced this way?! It should rather be "He et al., 1996". Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

I have a BibTeX file containing many references, where the journal titles are (for the most part) written out in full. I would like to replace these in my reference list with the standard abbreviated titles.  Searching the web I can find many suggested solutions to this problem. These all seem to involve maintaining either maintaining your own database of search-and-replace strings, using a GUI reference manager (Jabref), or editing the whole .bib file so that every journal name is a macro call.  My .bib file has 171 entries (it was originally the references for my thesis and I've kept adding to it since then, using the same file for every paper), so creating and maintaining my own database of journal abbreviations would be a huge undertaking. While I will just start using Jabref if I have to, it doesn't seem right that I should have to use a GUI package to solve such an inherently text-based problem.  What I really want is a script (or even better, a LaTeX package) that will just go through my .bib file and replace every full journal name with an abbreviation looked up in one of the many standard databases that exist for this purpose. (Of course there will probably be some that get missed, but I don't mind fixing one or two by hand.)  I'm guessing that such a painless, transparent solution doesn't exist, but it can't hurt to ask here. It seems to me that this must be a very common thing to want to do, and I'm kind of surprised that the functionality isn't just built into BibTeX in the first place.

I am using biblatex to produce a bibliography with several sections like this:  \defbibheading{cvpubs}[List of Publications]{\section{#1}} \defbibheading{subbibliography}{\noindent\bfseries\itshape{#1}} \printbibheading[heading=cvpubs]  \printbibliography[env=nolabel,sorting=ydnt,keyword=peer,heading=subbibliography,title={Peer-reviewed articles}] \printbibliography[env=nolabel,sorting=ydnt,keyword=chapter,heading=subbibliography,title={Book chapters}]  % and so on ...   Now I need to mark certain entries with an asterisk left of the entry. Something like this:  * Besserwisser, John (2007). "Whatever you say, you're wrong". In: Journal for Know-it-alls. (1)1. pp. 1-19.  Is this possible?  P.S. If you are wondering why anyone would want to do such a thing: In my case it is simply demanded by a funding agency to mark certain publication in my publication list with an asterisk. But you could also use this to mark the mandatory readings or the recommended readings or so in a reading list.

Currently having problems with compiling my Master's thesis after downloading the newest version of TeXStudio and MiKTeX. The error message is as follows:  Use of \blx@bbl@verbadd@i doesn't match its definition. \verb   The only other place I found a similar question regarding this error message was found here:   I am not sure how this applies to my problem, but from what I understand this is due to some problem in an external file. If you need the bibliography-entry, I can provide you with that on short notice, though it is rather long (which is why I didn't include it here in the first place).  I am using Mendeley Desktop v1.16.1 to automatically generate my BibTeX database.   I am using biblatex as follows:  \usepackage[backend = bibtex,         style = numeric-comp,         sorting = none,         natbib = true,         doi = false,         isbn = true,         hyperref = true]{biblatex}   I also have some code to change how the bibliography output, but I doubt it is causing the problem, as commenting it out did not help.  Hope anyone knows what causes my problem and how to fix it.  Thanks.

I am writing my thesis as a collection of papers and I want to have the full bibliography at the end of the thesis. As there is several references that are used in more than one chapter, I would like to "reset" the longnamesfirst option of the natbib package at each chapter. To illustrate here is a MWE.  \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{memoir} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  \usepackage[round,longnamesfirst]{natbib}  \usepackage{filecontents} \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}     @ARTICLE{ahuja2002,         author = {Ahuja, R.K. and Ergun, {\"O}. and Orlin, J.B. and Punnen, A.P.},         title = {A survey of very large-scale neighborhood search techniques},         journal = {Discrete Applied Mathematics},         year = {2002},         volume = {123},         pages = {75--102},         number = {1},         publisher = {Elsevier}     } \end{filecontents}   \begin{document}     \chapter{First chapter}         \cite{ahuja2002}\\     \chapter{Second chapter}         \cite{ahuja2002} $\leftarrow$ That guy should be ``longnamesfirst'' as well!     \bibliographystyle{plainnat}     \bibliography{\jobname}  \end{document}   I use the memoir document class for the thesis, so the question is tagged  as well.

I have a question that has been answered a few times, but does not work for me (and also not for another commenter in a previously asked question).   I want to remove the parenthesis around the yead in the bibliography with biblatex style authoryear, and ideally also add a comma and space before it. I have looked at the following questions:        I use biber 2.10 and TexLive 2017/W32Tex.  This MWE should work according to the question v2 above, but does not work for me, i.e. the output is still Author, Anne (2001a). Alpha. The output I need is Author, Anne, 2001a. Alpha.  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage[style=authoryear,dashed=false]{biblatex} \usepackage{xpatch,filecontents}  \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib} @misc{A01,author={Author, Anne},year={2001},title={Alpha}} @misc{A02,author={Author, Anne},year={2001},title={Beta}} \end{filecontents} \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}  \xpatchbibmacro{date+extrayear}{%   \printtext[parens]% }{%   \setunit*{\addperiod\space}%   \printtext% }{}{}   \begin{document} \nocite{*} \printbibliography \end{document}

I want to basically upload a research preprint to arXiv. I want my paper to exactly look like this paper  including the hyperlinks in the bibliography.   Can someone please tell me how the scratch tex file should look like to achieve this.  Any help is appreciated.

When using BibTeX, I am happy enough adding accents where appropriate. For example  @article{key, author="Th{\'e}venaz, Jacques", title={Permutation Representations Arising from Simplicial Complexes}, journal={Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A}, year={1987}, }   However, if the above is an entry in my bib file and I use the option   \bibliographystyle{alpha}   in a LaTeX file, then this creates an error, as BibTeX naturally creates the key [Th\87] for this entry. Obviously I can go back to my bbl file and change the key here, but are there more general ways of solving this problem?

In my thesis, I need to have the webpage reference in the bibliography to look like this:     [#]    Author (year). Title. Available:      I need the title to be italics and the "Available to say "Tilgjengelig"(norwegian) Now it says "side" which means page. When I use @online, the reference is how I want it, exept the title is not italics, and it says "side"(page) instead of tilgjengelig(available) I do not know how to upload files.

I am working on a honours thesis and have developed a Fortran library that I would like to cite in it.  In some places they suggest to quote the documentation of the project but this is something I plan to do in the future and isn't done yet. The only documentation I have right now is the README file and the code itself.   What would be an acceptable way of directing a reader to my work on Github?  (bonus) Is there a BibTeX way to do it?

I'm looking for a reference manager with note-taking/quote-storing capabilities. I don't need a full knowledge management suite, but I want to find a program where I can store and search long notes/lots of quotes, attached to entries in my bibliography.  So far I've used:   Bib(La)TeX + pen and paper Zotero Mendeley Paperpile (Not sure about Endnote, but at least I haven't seen it used for what I need.)   Pen and paper obviously isn't searchable, and funnily enough, neither are the notes in Zotero. All of these programs treat notes as negligible, focusing on PDF metadata import and annotations, PubMed or Google Scholar search and whatnot. Which is all fine but not what I'm looking for. Since I work in the Arts &amp; Humanities I still have my fair share of books accompanying the PDF articles in my work routine. For those I don't need any online specialties but rather a way to attach lots of quotes, notes, summaries and so on.  From what I've heard, Citavi can do some things like that, but I'm nowhere near a Windows computer to try it out. Ideally I'm looking for Linux programs, I could try Mac, and give bonus points for a web interface.

My department requires dissertations from all honours students (being England, that's basically all of them).  Some of these are extremely good, even though they are written by undergraduates.  My department for some years created a tech report series, which included undergraduate dissertations with high enough marks and the agreement of the supervisor, but now this system has gotten lost in a morass of web redesigns etc.  Is there any new norm for archiving good undergraduate dissertations?  We were thinking of just putting it in arxiv.org, is that considered acceptable?  We are writing an article and want to cite the dissertation for the full implementation details.
