BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ how to cross reference two chapters appearing in same book?

[ilyaz]

Suppose I am submitting two separate papers that will become chapters in the same book. What would be the proper bib entries for them, so that I could cross-reference each paper in the other paper? In other words, do I need to enter a specific note below? Or do I identify them in a different way?

@incollection{Chapter1,
author = "John Author",
title = "Ch1 title",
booktitle = "book title",
editor = "Jack Editor",
publisher = "Publisher name",
note = "DO IT NEED TO ENTER SOMETHING HERE?"
}

@incollection{Chapter2,
author = "John Author",
title = "Ch2 title",
booktitle = "book title",
editor = "Jack Editor",
publisher = "Publisher name",
note = "DO IT NEED TO ENTER SOMETHING HERE?"
}

Thanks!

I'm not sure there's a single agreed upon way to handle something like this. It probably depends on bibliography style and discipline. But personally, I'd probably do something like this:

Code: Select all

@incollection{Chapter1,
author = "John Author",
title = "Ch1 title",
crossref = "Book1",
pages = "101--120"
}

@incollection{Chapter2,
author = "John Author",
title = "Ch2 title",
crossref = "Book1",
pages = "121--140"
}

@book{Book1,
title = "Book Title",
booktitle = "Book Title",
editor = "Jack Editor",
publisher = "Publisher name",
address = "Someplace",
year = "2010"
}

And yes, I do tend to populate both "title" and "booktitle" for the collection, since different bib styles seem to use one or the other.

Thanks.

Another question is whether there is a convention of how a paper that is a part of a book should be reference in another paper that is a part of the same book.
