BibTeX Format Description

Jabref Vs Bibdesk

• @STRING defines abbreviations in the form of
  which can later be used in a tag like this
• @PREAMBLE defines how special text should be formatted.
• @COMMENT for comments not taken in regard by BibTeX.
• Entries each declaring a single reference to a type of publication, for example:@article, @book, @inproceedings etc.

A BibTeX entry consists of the type (the word after @), a citation-key and a number of tags which define various characteristics of the specific BibTeX entry.

Among those tags can be for example: author, title, year, etc. Some tags are mandatory for certain types of BibTeX entries, some are optional.

There is a set of standard-tags existing, which can be interpreted by BibTeX or third-party tools. Those which are unknown are ignored by BibTeX, thus can be used to store additional information without interfering with the final outcome of a document.

Tags

A BibTeX tag is specified by its name followed by an equals-sign and the content. The tag's name is not case-sensitive. The content needs to be enclosed by either curly braces or quotation-marks. Which form of enclosure is used is depending on the user's taste, and both can be applied together in a single BibTeX entry, but there is one difference between those two methods: When quotation-marks are used, string concatenation using # is possible, but not when braces are used.

For example, the following statements are equal:

It is important to know that abbreviations previously defined using the @string command can only be used in conjunction with other strings using the string concatenation.

Numbers can either be enclosed by braces or quotation-marks, but can stand alone. Tags are separated by commas; if not, the BibTeX parser will produce an error. The last tag can be finished with a comma, although not necessarily.

Jabref Mac

is a correct BibTeX entry.
