Bibtex: @misc

Post by susan »

hello,

when I use the @misc in my bibliography, some of the entred fields (URL, type, etc.) are not displayed. What's wrong?

Thank you in advance for advice!
Susan

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"
}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
