Style of reference choice

Post by betbetbet »

Hi,

I am using bibteX in order to create references for my document:

Part of my bibTeX file looks like this:

Code: Select all

@inbook{scheduling,
  author={Bacak, G. and Ufuktepe, U.},
  title={Applications of Graph Coloring},
  year={2005},
  booktitle={Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2005},
  chapter={Symbolic Computation, SC 2005 Workshop},
  pages={522-528},
  publisher={Springer Berlin / Heidelberg},
  volume={3482},
  series={Lecture Notes in Computer Science}
}

@article{hungary,
  author={Bacso, G. and Tuza, Zs.},
  year={1990},
  title={Dominating cliques in P5-free graphs},
  journal={Periodica Mathematica Hungarica},
  volume={21},
  pages={303 - 308},
  number={4}
  month = {December}
}
If I write the following winEdt code:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{appendix}
%\usepackage{amsart}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{amsmath}
%\usepackage{amscls}
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{dsfont}
%\usepackage{floats}
%\usepackage{figlatex}
%\usepackage{dvips}
%\usepackage{latex}
%\usepackage{epsf}
\usepackage{epsf}

\begin{document}

Trial \cite{scheduling}

\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{MN3P5bibfileThesis}

\end{document} 
Compiling the winEdt code to .pdf in LaTeX gets:

On the first page:

Code: Select all

Trial [BU05]
On the second page:

Code: Select all

Bibliography
[BU05] G. Bacak and U. Ufuktepe. Applications of Graph Coloring, volume 3482 of
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, chapter Symbolic Computation, SC 2005
Workshop, pages 522{528. Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2005.
How do I change the [BU05] to a [1]? How do I change to this style of references?

Style of reference choice

Post by frabjous »

Use a different bibliography style. I.e., change:

\bibliographystyle{alpha}

to

\bibliographystyle{plain}

or something else you prefer.

For a list of how various styles look, check out this webpage.
