40  Bibliography

40.1 Bibliography files

We use BibTeX bibliography files (.bib).

To be checked: it is ok to use the same bibliography file name for several articles in the same issue?

40.2 Bibliography preamble

Some articles use abbreviations to cite historical works. Add those in a separate section, within a Div of class refs-preamble, at the end of the paper, like so:



# Abbreviations {.unnumbered}

The following abbreviations are used:

* *QDA*: *Quaestiones disputatae de anima* [@aquinas:1953].
* *SLM*: *Sententia libri Metaphysicae* [@aquinas:1950].
* *ST*: Aquinas, *Summa Theologica* [@aquinas:1888].

# References {.unnumbered}

40.3 Interface with dialectica’s main bibliography

More information on the bibliography is in the bibliography-section of the overleaf-document.

JD some experiments:

  • Tried simply adding the main bib file (biblio-check.bib) as the > bibliography file of an article in RStudio. Problems:

    • It takes circa 15-30sec to ’Read the bibliography” when opening > the article, and 10-20sec again when opening the > insert-citation window.

    • But the bibliographies entries don’t show up in the > ‘Bibliography’ tab.

    • It looks as if either RStudio can’t read it (bug / unusual code > somewhere?), or just gives up above a certain number of > entries

JD thought: We need either:

  • some way of either generating a sub-selection of the main > bibliography for the article. Automated? Something like Sandro’s / > crossref bibtex convertor, but for this bibliography? (Suggestion: > linking via DOIs?)

  • Some way of having the main biblio as one of the source in RStudio > citation-insertion popup, the way Zotero appears. However: risk > that it is slow because of the size.

  • Some way of searching the main biblio as one of the sources in > RStudio, the way CrossRef appears in the citation-insertion popup.
