General Information about the References
How the Cite Keys in the BibTeX File are Constructed
Each entry in the BibTeX file has a cite key constructed according to
the following rules:
All letters are in lower case. The key starts with the last name of
the first author followed by two numbers identifying the publication
year. The key ends with the first letter of the first three words in
the title of the paper. However, if the first three words are equal,
we use the first three letters followed by a positive number (e.g. 1,
2, 3,...). If the title consists of less than three words, we still
use only the first letter of each word.
If you do not find the correct key, you should just search through the
file looking for one of the authors. There are a number of ways to do
this, use e.g. your favorite text editor or the UNIX tools
grep or less.
Consider for example the items
- P. E. Crouch and R. Grossman: Numerical
Integration of Ordinay Differential Equations on
Manifolds, Journal of Nonlinear Sciences, 3:1-33,
1993.
- L. Abia and J. M. Sanz-Serna: Partitioned
Runge-Kutta Methods for Separable Hamiltonian Problems,
Math. Comput., 60:617--634, 1993.
- A. Iserles and S.P. Nørsett: Order
Stars, Chapman & Hall, 1991.
The first two references get name key crouch93nio and
abia93prk, respectively. The key of the last
reference is iserles91os.
