BibTex and LaTex: Cite References in LaTex
How to cite references in latex.
Insert the command below to where you want to cite in your LaTex document:
\cite{BibTexKey}
If you want to create a bibliography of all references, use this command:
\nocite{*}
How to Create Bibliography in LaTex
The following two commands are used to create bibliography/reference list:
\bibliographystyle{StyleType}
\bibliography{BibTexFileName}
The built-in bibliography styles in LaTex include:
- plain: references listed in alphabetical order and labeled numerically
- unsrt: same as plain except references appear in order of citation
- alpha: same as plain except labeled by entry
- abbrv: same as plain except use abbreviations for first names and journal names
- acm: ACM style
- ieeetr: IEEE style
How to Typeset a LaTex Document
Once you finish writing and citing in Latex, you need to run the following four commands to generate PDF file with bibliography:
Watch the video on the right to find out how to cite, create bibliography, and typeset LaTex file in TexStudio.
A Sample LaTex File with Citations
In this simple LaTex document, five BibTex entries are cited. The bibliography style used is "plain", and the BibTex entries are from the database "Mybibtex".
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\title{About JabRef} \author{Author Name}
JabRef is an open source reference management software for BibTex \cite{BESIIICollaboration2014}. It has graphic interface, which makes it easy to use \cite{Apalkov2013,Libby2014}. This is why we choose it as our preferred reference management software for BibTex\cite{Silveira2014}. We will explain the features in details in this section \cite{Uematsu2015}.
\bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{Mybibtex}
\end{document}
Change Bibliography Style in LaTex
Sometimes, you need to change your bibliography styles in LaTex. This can be completed by changing the style name in the command:
\bibliographystyle{AnotherStyleType}

Tips on Writing a Thesis in LaTeX
A typical scientific document contains a number of references, and this leads to the problem of organizing and presentation of the references in the document. The problem can be subdivided into several parts: store of the reference information, later retrieval of this information while preparing the document, and presentation (formatting) of the reference information in the document and in the bibliography according to a particular format.
A widely-used approach to deal with references in LaTeX documents is to employ BibTeX reference management software. In BibTeX reference information is stored in format-independent plain text file(s) (usually with .bib extension), which can be modified with almost any text editor. Such a text file contains BibTeX entries , and each entry, formed by several text lines, has
- unique ID or key , needed to identify and refer to the particular entry, for instance Author2001 ;
- entry type , which can be article , book , thesis , etc.;
- entry fields (such as year , publisher , journal , etc.), corresponding to the particular type.
Here is an example of the article type entry from the .bib file I used while typesetting thesis:
The command \bibliography { reference_list } placed before \begin { document } is used to specify a plain text input file ( reference_list.bib here) containing information on references.
References can be "cited" during editing the LaTeX document using, for example, \cite { key } command, and later at the document compilation step LaTeX input files must be processed with LaTeX and BibTeX .
The most popular approaches to indicate a reference appearing in the text can be classified as "numeric" and "author–year". The former uses sequential number of a reference in the document
while "author–year" is based on the extended reference information and may appear like this:
Each indication has particular advantages and drawbacks. For example, numeric is more compact (i.e., require less space in a text line), and a group of references can be "compressed" into a range in the case they have sequential numbering (i.e., [1,2,3,5] will be shown as [1–3,5]). On the other hand, author–year indication shows more information on the cited document (typically, first one or two author names, and a year of a publication), but requires more space compared to the numeric one. The space consumed by reference may become important if your document has high density of references (and you care about in-line space "wasted" by references :).
In my thesis I have decided to use "numeric" indication, but contrary to the example above reference numbers appear in the text as a footnote: reference number by itself has script size ,
and each number has associated script-sized text at the bottom of the page (where the reference appeared) containing extended information on the cited reference:
This citation scheme improves in-line space saving compared to the plain numeric indication due to the reduced size of numbers, and at the same time allows the reader to see what exactly was cited without looking in the bibliography (which is typically located at the end of a document or chapter). The drawback of the footnote citation scheme follows from the space consumed at the bottom of the page: if there are too many citations on the page, footnote text will occupy a lot of space. For example:
To create citations in my thesis, I employed the biblatex package, which is one of the most notable packages I have used with LaTeX. The package provides a highly customizable interface for the creation and edit of the presentation of bibliographic data in the document. Compared to the plain BibTeX, biblatex enables relatively easy customization of the appearance of bibliographic data. Below I provide customizations I used to modify the default biblatex output. The detailed description of the biblatex commands is available in the package documentation .
The two basic commands to enable biblatex and output citation list are
While preparing the thesis I activated biblatex with the following options compiling the document using biblatex with the options below will need custom-numeric-comp.bbx and custom-numeric-comp.cbx files (see next sections, "Biblatex customization" and "Footnote citation") :
Option hyperref=true was specified to transform various citation elements (like citation number, page number where citation appears, hyperlink to the web page where cited document can be found, etc.) into clickable hyperlinks. This option requires hyperref package (see also notes on hyperref ).
With options url=false,isbn=false I disabled printing the URLs and ISBNs in the bibliography.
Back references
Option backref=true enables generation of the back references to the citation, which are usually number(s) of the page where citation appears:
The back reference text preceding the page number ("see p.") can be modified using the following command:
Just a note on the back references. When you are reading a .pdf document, encounter a reference, and click on it, .pdf viewer will change view to the record of this reference in the bibliography. Now, if you want to return to the main text and continue reading, you may find it difficult to do using back reference when the reference was cited on several pages (back reference will contain several page numbers and you have to bear in mind the original page number you came to the bibliography), and a good solution here is to use " Alt + ← " instead of the back reference itself. On the other hand, back references are useful to indicate how often and where a particular reference was cited in the document.
Citation style
Option style=custom-numeric-comp determines the citation style. As seen from its name, the chosen citation style uses numbers ( numeric ) to indicate citations in text, and consequent numbers are compressed ( comp ) into a range: [1,2,3,5] is printed as [1–3,5]. Above it was mentioned that I used footnote version of the standard biblatex numeric-comp style — as a result, each citation has i) its number typeset as superscript, and ii) short and extended reference information located at the bottom of the page ("footnote text") and in the bibliography, respectively:
Option citereset=chapter defines biblatex behavior for the reference footnote text in a typical situation when a citation appears several times in the document: footnote text for the particular citation is printed only once per document chapter ( citereset=chapter ), where chapter is defined according to the LaTeX sectioning commands . In my thesis a typical chapter includes about 20 pages, and I assumed citereset=chapter to be quite acceptable. However, one of my colleagues was confused by such a rule for printing the footnote text (i.e., he did not get the logic behind the rule until I have explained it). I was thinking about resetting footnote text as "once-per-page" (not "once-per-chapter") but decided to avoid this due to high density of the references in my thesis. If you are interested in such a behavior some useful information can be found here .
Number of displayed author names
Options maxcitenames=3 and maxbibnames=100 limit number of authors of the cited document to be printed in the document body and in the bibliography, respectively. If the number of authors exceeds maxcite(bib)names , the author list is truncated according to biblatex settings, and usually printed as "Author1 et al." In my case I have very short authors lists in the footnote text (document body) to reduce space occupied by footnote citations,
and virtually all authors are displayed in the bibliography:
I note that I have prepared my thesis with biblatex v. 0.9a (19.03.2010), while this on-line document was prepared and tested on biblatex v. 1.6 (29.07.2011). Options maxcitenames and maxbibnames were not available in v. 0.9a, and the described biblatex behavior (with maxcitenames=3 and maxbibnames=100 ) was obtained using maxnames=3 while loading the biblatex package, and maxnames=100 while printing the bibliography, i.e.
The next section continues the discussion of the biblatex customization.
because LaTeX matters
Writing a thesis in latex.
Writing a thesis is a time-intensive endeavor. Fortunately, using LaTeX, you can focus on the content rather than the formatting of your thesis. The following article summarizes the most important aspects of writing a thesis in LaTeX, providing you with a document skeleton (at the end) and lots of additional tips and tricks.
Document class
The first choice in most cases will be the report document class:
See here for a complete list of options. Personally, I use draft a lot. It replaces figures with a box of the size of the figure. It saves you time generating the document. Furthermore, it will highlight justification and hyphenation errors ( Overfull \hbox ).
Check with your college or university. They may have an official or unofficial template/class-file to be used for writing a thesis.
Again, follow the instructions of your institution if there are any. Otherwise, LaTeX provides a few basic command for the creation of a title page.
Use \today as \date argument to automatically generate the current date. Leave it empty in case you don’t want the date to be printed. As shown in the example, the author command can be extended to print several lines.
For a more sophisticated title page, the titlespages package has a nice collection of pre-formatted front pages. For different affiliations use the authblk package, see here for some examples.
Contents (toc/lof/lot)
Nothing special here.
The tocloft package offers great flexibility in formatting contents. See here for a selection of possibilities.
Often, the page numbers are changed to roman for this introductory part of the document and only later, for the actual content, arabic page numbering is used. This can be done by placing the following commands before and after the contents commands respectively.
LaTeX provides the abstract environment which will print “Abstract” centered as a title.
The actual content
The most important and extensive part is the content. I strongly suggest to split up every chapter into an individual file and load them in the main tex-file.
In thesis.tex:
In chapter1.tex:
This way, you can typeset single chapters or parts of the whole thesis only, by commenting out what you want to exclude. Remember, the document can only be generated from the main file (thesis.tex), since the individual chapters are missing a proper LaTeX document structure.
See here for a discussion on whether to use \input or \include .
Bibliography
The most convenient way is to use a bib-tex file that contains all your references. You can download bibtex items for articles, books, etc. from Google scholar or often directly from the journal websites.
Two packages are commonly used to personalize bibliographies, the newer biblatex and the natbib package, which has been around for many years. These packages offer great flexibility in customizing the look of a bibliography, depending on the preference in the field or the author.
Other commonly used packages
- graphicx : Indispensable when working with figures/graphs.
- subfig : Controlling arrangement of several figures (e.g. 2×2 matrix)
- minitoc : Adds mini table of contents to every chapter
- nomencl : Generate and format a nomenclature
- listings : Source code printer for LaTeX
- babel : Multilingual package for standard document classes
- fancyhdr : Controlling header and footer
- hyperref : Hypertext links for LaTeX
- And many more
Minimal example code
I’m aware that this short post on writing a thesis only covers the very basics of a vast topic. However, it will help you getting started and focussing on the content of your thesis rather than the formatting of the document.

I would rather recommend a documentclass like memoir or scrreprt (from KOMA-Script), since they are much more flexible than report.
8. June 2012 at 8:12
I agree, my experience with them is limited though. Thanks for the addendum. Here is the documentation: memoir , scrreprt (KOMA script)

Nice post Tom. I’m actually writing a two-part (or three) on Writing the PhD thesis: the tools . Feel free to comment, I hope to update it as I write my thesis, so any suggestions are welcome.
8. June 2012 at 8:05
Thanks for the link. I just saw your post and thought I should really check out git sometimes :-). Best, Tom.
8. June 2012 at 8:10
Yes, git is awesome. It can be a bit overwhelming with all the options and commands, but if you’re just working alone, and probably on several machines, then you can do everything effortlessly with few commands.
11. June 2012 at 2:15
That’s what has kept me so far. But I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks!
8. June 2012 at 8:08
What a great overview. Thank you, this will come handy… when I finally get myself to start writing that thesis 🙂
8. June 2012 at 14:12
Thanks and good luck with your thesis! Tom.
9. June 2012 at 4:08
Hi, I can recommend two important packages: lineno.sty to insert linenumbers (really helpful in the debugging phase) and todonotes (allows you to insert todo-notes for things you still have to do.)
11. June 2012 at 0:48
Thanks Uwe! I wrote an article on both, lineno and todonotes . Here is the documentation: lineno and todonotes for more details.
12. June 2012 at 15:51
Thanks for the post, i’m currently writing my master thesis 🙂
A small note: it seems that subfig is deprecated for the subcaption package: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions#Subfloats
12. June 2012 at 16:05
Hey, thanks for the tip. Too bad they don’t say anything in the documentation apart from the fact that the packages are not compatible.
1. August 2012 at 21:11
good thesis template can be also found here (free): http://enjobs.org/index.php/downloads2

Hi Tom, I’m writing a report on spanish in LaTex, using emacs, auctex, aspell (~170pags. ~70 files included by now) and this blog is my savior every time because I’m quite new with all these.
The question: Is there anyway (other than \- in every occurrence) to define the correct hyphenation for accented words (non english characters like é)? I have three o four accented words, about the subject of my report, that occur near 100 times each, across several files, and the \hyphenation{} command can’t handle these.
20. November 2012 at 3:47
I was wondering what packages you load in your preamble. For a better hyphenation (and easier typing), you should use these packages:
See here for more details.
If this doesn’t help, please provide a minimal working example to illustrate the problem.
Thanks, Tom.

Thesis: Vasectomy: Goals, Practices, and Effects
Editor's note:
Cole Nichols defended his Barrett Honors College thesis entitled, "Vasectomy: Goals, Practices, and Effects" in Spring 2023 in front of committee members Jane Maienschein and Dina Ziganshina. https://keep.lib.asu.edu/items/184626
Vasectomy is one of few widely available methods of contraception for people with male reproductive systems aside from condoms, abstinence, and the withdrawal method, and it is the only one of those options that can be permanent (Amory 2016). The procedure’s prominence has led me to investigate the history of vasectomy and particularly the evolution in vasectomy technique over time. Since its introduction in the late nineteenth century, the procedure has had a variety of impacts on many people across the world. In this research project, I have sought to analyze what the technical evolution of vasectomy reveals about the changing priorities of the medical systems that use it. In particular, I point to ways the eugenics movement’s attempts to control individual reproduction have led to both vasectomy’s efficacy and its restrictiveness.

Unable to include a thesis reference
I want to include a thesis reference, but not able to do it. The MWE is here:
In the .bbl file, the reference is included as follows:
In the .pdf output, the reference is always gives as [?]
- bibliographies
- Are you compiling the files in the suggested sequence? latex, bibtex, latex, latex? – Masroor Commented Oct 3, 2013 at 2:44
- Also you mention the reference in the .bbl file. That seems to be wrong, it should be in a .bib file. A .bbl file is generated when you run bibtex. – Masroor Commented Oct 3, 2013 at 3:04
- 3 The .tex file you provide above has no way of knowing where to find this citation (which should [in that form] be in a .bib file, not a .bbl ). You probably need to add: \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran} \bibliography{<name of your bibfile>} , or something like that. Then you need to run a sequence of latex-bibtex-latex-latex (or pdflatex ) as mentioned already. – jon Commented Oct 3, 2013 at 3:19
You need to provide a little more assistance in order for the references to show up:
Now follow these steps:
- Compile using (PDF)LaTeX which will produce thesis.bib as well as a .aux file. The .aux file is requesting a citation called mythesis , which doesn't exist anywhere (according to LaTeX, that is).
- Compile using BibTeX. This will produce a .bbl file based on your .aux and thesis.bib .
Compile using (PDF)LaTeX again which will now have a valid .bbl file containing the relevant bibliography information in it:
Essentially, BibTeX produces a thebibliography environment that can be included in your document.
(optional) Compile with (PDF)LaTeX to make any references settle after the citations are valid.

The following two commands are used to create bibliography/reference list: \bibliographystyle{StyleType} \bibliography{BibTexFileName} The built-in bibliography styles in LaTex include: plain: references listed in alphabetical order and labeled numerically; unsrt: same as plain except references appear in order of citation
The references will come from one or more .bib files that you create. This is the only type of file without a .tex extension that you will need to edit. The line: \reffile{references} tells BibTeX to look in the file references.bib for references cited in the thesis.
The command \bibliography{reference_list} placed before \begin{document} is used to specify a plain text input file ( reference_list.bib here) containing information on references.
