Hi Susan,

welcome to the board!
Please tell us the bibliography style used by you and one example of such a @misc entry.

hello,

I use the havard.sty.

Here is one examle, where the URL is not visible:

@misc{DymolaWeb,
title = {xxx Website},
author = {xxx},
URL = {http://www.xxx.com },
year = {cited July 2008} }

For the next example, only Author, title and year are visible:

@misc{example2,
author = {xxx},
institution = {xxx},
title = {xxx},
series = {xxx},
type = {xxx},
year = {xxx} }

Hi,

The misc type has no required fields and the following optional fields: author, title, howpublished, month, year, note.

If you want to show additional information, you should consider using a different type.

For your first example, you can load the url package and use something like the following:

Code: Select all

@misc{DymolaWeb,
  title = "xxx Website",
  author = "xxx",
  howpublished = "\url{http://www.xxx.com}",
  year = "cited July 2008"
}
