bibliography --> references

Post by marie2006 »

Hey,

I'm writing my thesis in the book-documentclass, but I would like to change the word 'bibliography' to 'references'. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hey,

put this in Your preamble (right before \begin{document}):

\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}

like

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\begin{document}
  \begin{thebibliography}{99}
  \bibitem{JSmith} Smith, J. and Jones, C.,
   {\bf Science Journal},
   May 12, 1956.
  \end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
Regards
Kris

Thanks, it works! But I had to put it after \begin{document} .
Anyway, it works, so I'm very happy! (actually, my professor will be very happy..)
