Bibliography

This repository hosts the central bibliography for numerous research projects.

The bibliography file is called literature.bib.

• annotated_bibliography We maintain an annotated bibliography of useful resources for future reference.

• For proper APA citation, only capitalise the first word of the title/heading and of any subtitle/subheading as well as proper nouns and certain other types of words. Use lowercase for everything else. (See also http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2012/03/title-case-and-sentence-case-capitalization-in-apa-style.html and http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2012/02/do-i-capitalize-this-word.html)

• The necessary commands for proper APA citation in LaTeX seem to differ between operating systems. For Windows and Ubuntu users, header.tex has to include the following commands:

  • \usepackage{apacite}

• For Mac users, the following commands have to be included:

  • \RequirePackage{bibentry}
  • \makeatletter\let\saved@bibitem@bibitem\makeatother

  as well as:

  • \usepackage [apaciteclassic]{apacite}
  • \usepackage{notoccite}
  • \usepackage{bibentry}

• The main.tex has to include the following commands (regardless of operating system):

  • \bibliographystyle{apacite}
  • \bibliography {../../../ submodules/bibliography/literature}

• If you want to insert a new entry in literature.bib via JabRef, please do not insert the BibtexKey manually but instead follow the following steps:

  • Go to Options -> Preferences -> BibTeX key generator
  • Insert [auth].[year] as the default pattern
  • Check the box Generate keys before saving (for entries without a key)

  This will create the keys automatically and in compliance with the other entries in literature.bib.
