BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ refer only to a book chapter with jabref

[wuming]

Hi,

does anybody know how can I refer solely to a book chapter in jabref?
I use the Inbook entry, but simply by filling the the Editor
Tab with the names of book's authors (in total) does not work.
I attach the table of book contents and my jabref attempt.

This depends on the BibTeX style you use, not on JabRef.

thanks!

the style file is here:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/pr ... -templates
Alternate ACM LaTeX2e Style File V2.4 (APRIL 2009 CLS)

I find it hard to make any modification though =/
If anyone wants to have a look,
the bib related part starts from line 1179

cheers!

The link you provided points to a lot of files, but i don't see any bibtex style (.bst). The .cls file is a LaTeX class and doesn't matter when you call bibtex. What do you put in the \bibliographystyle macro?

[wuming]

thanks for the reply.

Are you sure that the .bst file is not included in the .cls file
in this case? I see \bibliographystyle{abbrv} but there is no
abbrv.bts file, neither an abbreviated cross-reference in
any of the .tex files...

Alternatively, you can get the acmsiggraph.bst file here
http://cs.nyu.edu/~sorkine/courses/adv_ ... s.Projects -> LaTeX template,
it should be similar (at least I hope so).

Cheers!

abbrv.bst is one of the standard BibTeX styles and comes bundled with any latex system.

You don't really explain what the problem is, ie., what result do you expect and what do you get. However, a guess is that bibtex is giving you warnings because you include both an author and an editor field in the inbook entry. In the standard classes this entry type is used for referencing a part of a book written by one set of authors. If you want to cite a book where each chapter has different authors you can use a incollection entry instead.

thanks for all the info!

InCollection works, but I want the book authors to appear in the
reference and also apart from the Chapter authors. In the attached
image, I get Chapter's authors. Where should I place the Book authors
in the InCollection field? Perhaps in the same entry for Booktitle,
is there any other way?

Hope this is clear

That's odd. The abbrv style should have put editors right before the book title. Please supply a minimal working example including your bibtex entry.

I will do asap
