The problem is more how do you want the references to look like in the final document. For Social and Human Sciences, you have globally two systems natbib for a reference system as (Elo:2004b) or jurabib for references as K. Elo, "Struggling with BibTeX", Finnish Journal of LyX Studies, 2005:2, 124-138 Complex, non-standard references system can be quite tricky to set up. BibTeX is not very user-friendly and the LaTeX bibliographic is not very generic. Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
BibTeX and newspaper articles
Hi, I have a small problem with BiBTex and hope someone could help me. I am currently writing an acadeemic working paper and some of my material are articles from ordinary newspapers. I use KBibTeX for managing my bibliography. AFAIK, BibTeX seeems not to support newspaper articles as an entry type. This kind of a material does not very well fit into the existing standard entries either, e.g. there is no field the date of the article could be stoder in. Before I start manually adding a new entry (say "newspaper article") into my BiBTeX collection and modifing my .bst file to make it understand such an entry, I would be glad to be informed if there already exists a solution for this kind of a problem. I just cannot think being the only person using newspaper articles as research material :) Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Kimmo Elo University of Turku, Finland
