Hi Sukh,

You can edit .bib files using a BibTeX reference manager such as JabRef on Windows or BibDesk on Mac OS.

Hi Vel,

I'm using Mendeley as a reference manager and it generates the .bib file, no problem. Unfortunately, it does not recognize the need to italicizing necessary words such as genus and species names that may appear in publication titles, nor does it cite websites properly. I thought that I could make necessary adjustments in the .bib file, but it appears that I'm wrong. Where do I need to go to make necessary adjustments?

Thanks,
Tanya

Hi Tanya,

You can go into the .bib file and manually specify some words in the title to be italic with \textit{}, e.g. like this:

Code: Select all

Title = {A \textit{Simple Extended}-Cavity Diode Laser},
