"References" to "Bibliography"

Post by milla »

Does anyone know how to change "References" to "Bibliography" at the end of an article?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography}
I did not test it, because you did not provide a minimal working example.

EDIT: What the hack:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{knuth,
  author       = {Knuth, Donald E.},
  title        = {The \TeX book},
  date         = 1984,
  maintitle    = {Computers \& Typesetting},
  volume       = {A},
  publisher    = {Addison-Wesley},
  location     = {Reading, Mass.},
  langid       = {english},
  langidopts   = {variant=american},
  sortyear     = {1984-1},
  sorttitle    = {Computers & Typesetting A},
  indexsorttitle= {The TeXbook},
  indextitle   = {\protect\TeX book, The},
  shorttitle   = {\TeX book},
}

\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{knuth}
\renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Please note, that i used the modern package biblatex in conjunction with the processor biber. I recommend you do the same if you have the choice.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
