Bibliography or Reference

Post by nenu28 »

Hello,

I am using "{Report}" class and \begin{thebibliography}{1} .... \end{thebibliography} environment for listing, at the end of my document, the References. But After compilation I got Bibliography word at the end of my document. But the expected result is supposed to be References list. I mean, I want to get " References " word as list of my references not " Bibliography" word. Is there something I should insert in the preamble ? or could someone can tell how can I solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi,

you could redefine the macro \bibname, which originally contains Bibliography, using \renewcommand.

Hi,

Thank a lot for the answer. It's work.

I used

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\bibname{References}
And just now I have found online this :
The names that are defined in the standard LaTeX classes (and the makeidx package) are listed below. Some of the names are only defined in a subset of the classes (and the letter class has a set of names all of its own); the list shows the specialisation of each name, where appropriate.

Code: Select all

\abstractname 	Abstract
\alsoname 	see also (makeidx package)
\appendixname 	Appendix
\bibname 	Bibliography (report,book)
\ccname 	cc (letter)
\chaptername 	Chapter (report,book)
\contentsname 	Contents
\enclname 	encl (letter)
\figurename 	Figure (for captions)
\headtoname 	To (letter)
\indexname 	Index
\listfigurename 	List of Figures
\listtablename 	List of Tables
\pagename 	Page (letter)
\partname 	Part
\refname 	References (article)
\seename 	see (makeidx package)
\tablename 	Table (for caption)
