No numbering in bibliography

Post by PrinsesjeAnouschka »

Hello,

I was wondering whether it is possible to have a Bibliography without numbering the \bibitems. I know that numbering is used when you enter a \cite{} expression, but in my paper I have to use references by name, not by number.

Right now I define the bibliography in the .tex file with \begin{thebibliography}{7}. I have tried to use a * to avoid numbering (because that works for \section), but that does not work.

Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

You can try the biblatex package. It lets you customize your bibliography in many ways. So you won't need the thebibliography environment any more.
