Bibtex reference files

references

Bibtex reference files. The main file master.bib includes all references, while longnames.bib and shortnames.bib include full and abbreviated conference/journal names, respectively.

To use short name abbreviations in your .tex file, use

\bibliography{shortnames,master}

To use long names in your .tex file, use

\bibliography{longnames,master}

Creating a submodule

The best way to use this repository is as a submodule to another Git repository that contains your .tex files. See this helpful blog post for an introduction to using submodules for BibTeX references, or get more detailed information about submodules.

To add this repository as a submodule, cd into the Git directory with your LaTeX files, then run

git submodule add https://github.com/hadmoni/references.git refs

This will create a refs subdirectory that links to this repository.

Cloning a repository with a submodule

You can clone a repository that contains a submodule and pull all of the submodule data at once by adding the --recursive tag:

git clone --recursive REPO_ADDRESS

If you've already cloned a repository that links to this submodule without using the --recursive tag, you'll have the directory that points to this repo but it will be empty. To initialize and populate the submodule, run

git submodule init # initializes the local configuration file
git submodule update # fetches data from the appropriate commit
