General ⇒ a question about bibligraphy

[spiegboy]

I use jabref to manage my bib database, there is one problem when i use use the texnicCentre to edit my file. when i link the database, all the article's title become lower case except the first letter, i use \mbox, but that's really a lot of work, is it possible to
change some setting to keep the title as it is.

thank you very much

Hi,

enclose the titles in braces: title={article title}.

here is the bib entry in the jabref

@ARTICLE{Beach1996,
author = {R. S. Beach and N. Smith and C. L. Platt and F. Jeffers and A. E.
Berkowitz},
title = {Magneto-impedance effect in NiFe plated wire},
journal = {Applied Physics Letters},
year = {1996},
volume = {68},
pages = {2753-2755},
number = {19},
doi = {10.1063/1.115587},
keywords = {BERYLLIUM ALLOYS; COPPER ALLOYS; MAGNETOELECTRIC EFFECTS; IMPEDANCE;
PLATING; SURFACE COATING; NICKEL ALLOYS; IRON ALLOYS; WIRES; FARADAY
EFFECT; MAGNETIZATION; SENSORS},
publisher = {AIP},
url = {http://link.aip.org/link/?APL/68/2753/1}
}

but after it is linked to tex, the bib file produced is like this

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{1}

\bibitem{Beach1996}
R.~S. Beach, N.~Smith, C.~L. Platt, F.~Jeffers, and A.~E. Berkowitz.
\newblock Magneto-impedance effect in nife plated wire.
\newblock {\em Applied Physics Letters}, 68(19):2753--2755, 1996.

\end{thebibliography}

Do I have to put another {} for the title one by one?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, try:

Code: Select all

title = {{Magneto-impedance effect in NiFe plated wire}},

or

Code: Select all

title = {Magneto-impedance effect in {N}i{F}e plated wire},

it would be enough to enclose the uppercase letters in additional braces.

man, i know it, i just dont like to put {} one by one coz i import the citation downloaded from internet into the database, everything is generated automatically, if i have to manage every title by hand, that's too much work.

is it because i use texincentre? i find it not work well with jabref.
