Update refs.bib

first bibtex test

@julianrendell

  • all websources in the references should be saved to web.archive.org to avoid broken links

  • does refs.bib require ordered data or is it auto-sorted?

Like the idea re web archive. But if an items not there, do we request it be added? (Not familiar with their processes.) Should add it to the writing guide; will add it to the discussion.

Re bibtex - looks to be flexible: https://sphinxcontrib-bibtex.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#advanced-features

(This is the first time I’m using it.)

I have a browser plugin for that (Page Cache Archiver), but there is a "save page" area on their site, too

Can you take a look at my changes and see if you can spot the error that causes the travis fail?

@natowi for bibtex the order is not important. My suggestion is to search for the title of the publication and find out its DOI, which is an identifier in the form 10.1007/s10846-008-9225-6. With this you can use this web service to get the corresponding bibtex https://www.doi2bib.org/

@natowi - checked in a fix re the commas; apparently you need to use 'and' instead.

Guess: expecting commas to be for eg "Rendell, J" formatting rather than separating authors.

You're going to see/hit a bunch more errors due to missing fields in the bib references you've added.

I found https://nwalsh.com/tex/texhelp/bibtx-7.html to be a succinct list of which fields are required for which type of citation.

for the authors, it's either:

  • name1 surname1 and name2 surname2 and name3 surname3
  • surname1, name1 and surname2, name2 and surname3, name3

it does not to be consistent, when the reference are then generate everything will be generated uniformely.
