The Bibliography ​

We will guide you on how to insert a bibliography as shown in the picture below in this guide.

Bibliography environment ​

Step 1: Import the .bib file

  1. Click in sequence on the focus toolbar: Insert automatically generated content → Bibliography

  1. Select the locally saved .bib file

If you do not have a .bib file, please refer to the "How to get BibTeX files" section

Step 2: Insert a citation

Copy the key of this bibliography from the source code of the .bib file.

@inproceedings{NIPS2012_c399862d,
  author = {Krizhevsky, Alex and Sutskever, Ilya
  booktitle = {Advances in Neural Information Pro
  editor = {F. Pereira and C.J. Burges and L. Bot
  pages = {},
  publisher = {Curran Associates, Inc.},
  title = {ImageNet Classification with Deep Conv
  url = {https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_fil
  volume = {25},
  year = {2012}
}

Taking the above code as an example, the key to this paper is NIPS2012_c399862d, copy it

  • Use the \cite command: Press the key \, type cite, then press Enter, paste the key of the bibliography in the .``bib file, press Enter again, and the final format is as follows:

<cite|NIPS2012_c399862d>

Then press Enter.

Step 3: Generate References

At this time, you can see the "[?]" icon on the page, which indicates that the bibliography has not been updated.

  1. Click the _menu _bar: Document → Update → All as shown in the figure below.

  1. In 1-5 seconds, the system will automatically generate a list of bibliographies.

Note Except for the generated bibliography list. The records you just entered will be retained, and you can delete them yourself.

Precautions ​

  1. Citation Key: Each entry must have a unique citation key, which is used for bibliography in the document .
  2. Use punctuation marks correctly.
  3. Field Completeness: Fill in the corresponding required fields according to the bibliography type.
  4. The key in the BibTeX text copied from Web of Science or other academic platforms may not be recognized by the system. The system error message is: Warning: Missing reference, as shown in the figure below.

Solution: Manually edit the format of the key (e.g., change WOS:86279275 to 86279275).

  1. If you need to update again, do not change the path of the BibTeX file.
  2. Insert multiple bibliographies:

There are two ways to add multiple bibliographies: Method 1: Click the Structured insert at the right on the focus toolbar, then enter the key of the next bibliography. After entering the keys of all bibliographies, press Enter.

Method 2: Repeat Step 2 above to insert citations separately for each document.

How to get BibTeX files ​

Search for the literature you want to cite on academic platforms (such as arXiv, Google Scholar, Web of Science, etc.).

  • Click the BibTeX or cite button
  • Select to download .bib file or copy BibTeX text content
  • Combine the BibTeX documents into one .bib file

Tip: The operation methods on each platform are basically the same, and you can also manually create BibTeX entries based on the literature information.

BibTeX ​

What is BibTeX?

BibTeX is a format for managing a bibliography. It uses .bib files to store bibliographic information, including metadata such as author, title, journal, year, etc.

BibTeX Entry Format

Each BibTeX entry contains the following basic structure:

@article{ Citation key,  author = {Author Names},  title = {Article Title},  journal = {Journal Name},  year = {Publication Year},  volume = {Volume Number},  number = {Issue Number},  pages = {Page Range}}

Commonly used platforms

  1. Google Scholar After searching for literature, click "Cite" Select "BibTeX" format Copy the generated BibTeX code
  2. arXiv Click "BibTeX" on the literature page Copy or download the .bib file
  3. Web of Science Click "Export" after selecting a document Select "BibTeX" format Download files or copy content
  4. IEEE Xplore Click "Cite" on the document page Select "BibTeX" format Copy the generated code
  • Manually create a BibTeX entry

You can create a BibTex file manually:

@article{zhang2023,  author = {name and name},  title = {title},  journal = {journal name},  year = {2023},  volume = {1},  number = {1},  pages = {1--10}}
