General ⇒ references

[omkardpd]

Hi,

I am writing a technical report for which I need a chapter "references". I am creating this chapter with "thebibliography" environment. But I need to do print "References" in the output. Currently, the system is printing "Bibliography" automatically.

Thank you,

Omkar

To rename the bibliography, add a simple command to the preamble.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}

That doesn't work in this way if using babel. In that case you have to tell us in which way you are using it.


Best regards

Hi,

Your suggestion has worked. Thanks for that.

By the way, what is babel? Just curious. I tried searching for it but could not get enough of information on it.

That's a package that allows to typeset documents in other languages than English or multilingual documents. Moreover it redefines such expressions like the bibliography name so I get the german term "Literatur" automatically (in this case depending a little bit on the document class). The same is done with other terms like chapters, figures and tables. As a german user I also have to include it to get the right hyphenation in my documents. For more information refer to CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) or just follow the link I gave above.
