==<font color="DarkGreen">Why should authors use Bib database?</font>== | |||
There are many advantages if authors make use of Bib database and provide it along with manuscript. Authors who do not know what <code>BibTeX</code> and Bib database may please visit the following URL: | |||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX] | |||
Following are the advantages of using Bib database: | |||
;Easy formatting: No manual work needed for journal specific formatting of bibitems like the following: | |||
* punctuate bibitems; | |||
* shorten page numbers; | |||
* change fonts/attributes for different fields; | |||
* remove dots from author's given names/initials etc. if the journal style stipulates it. | |||
With a single press of button, <code>BibTeX</code> will handle all these. The punctuations, font change, compression of page numbers etc. will be taken care of by the appropriate <code>.bst</code> files which authors choose. Without <code>BibTeX</code> authors need to waste a lot of time for doing this one-by-one manually. | |||
;Consistency in style: Keeping punctuations/fonts etc. consistent for each bibitem is a very difficult task without BibTeX. Authors need to check each and every bibitems manually for consistency. | |||
;Less head-ache in proof-reading: As higher levels of automation is possible for the typesetters to create complex XML format from the Bib database file, the conversion will be error-free. When the authors get the proofs back, their headache in proof-reading the references will be less. | |||
;Speed: As the typesetters do the conversion very quickly without waste of time using automated process, it will speed-up the publication process of your paper considerably. | |||
The following examples of three Bib database entries (entries in <code>.bib</code> file), their equivalent LaTeX entry for Model-1 type of references which are obtained when <code>BibTeX</code> is run on <code>.bib</code> file (<code>.bbl</code> file) and its final XML-tagging will help you to understand the above points very clearly: | |||

Why should authors use Bib database?
There are many advantages if authors make use of Bib database and provide it along with manuscript. Authors who do not know what BibTeX
and Bib database may please visit the following URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX
Following are the advantages of using Bib database:
- Easy formatting
- No manual work needed for journal specific formatting of bibitems like the following:
* punctuate bibitems;
* shorten page numbers;
* change fonts/attributes for different fields;
* remove dots from author's given names/initials etc. if the journal style stipulates it.
With a single press of button, BibTeX
will handle all these. The punctuations, font change, compression of page numbers etc. will be taken care of by the appropriate .bst
files which authors choose. Without BibTeX
authors need to waste a lot of time for doing this one-by-one manually.
- Consistency in style
- Keeping punctuations/fonts etc. consistent for each bibitem is a very difficult task without BibTeX. Authors need to check each and every bibitems manually for consistency.
- Less head-ache in proof-reading
- As higher levels of automation is possible for the typesetters to create complex XML format from the Bib database file, the conversion will be error-free. When the authors get the proofs back, their headache in proof-reading the references will be less.
- Speed
- As the typesetters do the conversion very quickly without waste of time using automated process, it will speed-up the publication process of your paper considerably.
The following examples of three Bib database entries (entries in .bib
file), their equivalent LaTeX entry for Model-1 type of references which are obtained when BibTeX
is run on .bib
file (.bbl
file) and its final XML-tagging will help you to understand the above points very clearly:
