Bibtex

What is a Bibtex entry?

An example of one is shown below:

@ARTICLE{2001JChPh.114.8855K,

author = {{Koivisto}, R. and {Launila}, O. and {Schimmelpfennig}, B. and {Simard}, B. and {Wahlgren}, U.},

title = "{Spectroscopy and MRCI calculations on CrF and CrCl}",

journal = {\jcp},

keywords = {Infrared spectra, Fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra, Rotation vibration and

vibration-rotation constants, Electron correlation calculations for diatomic molecules},

year = 2001,

month = may,

volume = 114,

pages = {8855-8866},

doi = {10.1063/1.1367395},

adsurl = {http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001JChPh.114.8855K}, 

adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System}}

The only edit which is necessary is to change the top line to:

@ARTICLE{01KoLaSc,

i.e.Replace the code given by the Nasa database to the “Bibtag” (see below).

For each paper downloaded, copy the “BibTex” entry into a single document-your bib file. These BibTexs are used later on in a software package called “LaTeX” which can be accessed via the web on the “ShareLaTeX” website.

Where to Obtain BibTex Files

BibTag

To make it easy to reference and identify papers, we use the following BibTag notation.

“YrA1A2A3.molecule.pdf”

• Yr=year
• A1=first two letters of first author's surname
• A2=first two letters of second author's surname
• A3=first two letters of third author's surname

If there is less than 3 authors on a paper simply put “XX” in the relevant gap (s).

A few examples:

• L. Lodi, S.N. Yurchenko, J. Tennyson, "The calculated rovibronic spectrum of scandium hydride, ScH", Journal of Molecular Physics 113, 1998-2011 (2015)
  • BibTag=15LoYuTe.ScH.pdf
• S. Shin, D. J. Brugh, M. D. Morse, "Radiative Lifetime of the v = 0, 1 Levels of the A 6Σ+ State of CrH”, Astrophysical Journal 619, 407-411 (2005).
  • BibTag=05ShBrMo.CrH.pdf
• D. G. Dai, K. Balasubramanian, "SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES AND POTENTIAL-ENERGY CURVES FOR 21 ELECTRONIC STATES OF CRH", Journal Of Molecular Spectroscopy 161, 455-465 (1993).
  • BibTag=93DaBaXX.CrH.pdf
• A B Kunz, M P Guse, R J Blint, "POTENTIAL-ENERGY CURVES FOR SCH", Journal Of Physics B-Atomic Molecular And Optical Physics 8, L358-L361 (1975).
  • BibTag=75KuGuBl.ScH.pdf

If there are two identical BibTags (e.g. group of authors written two papers on the same molecule/atom/species in a year) then simply add in “-1”, “-2” etc such as:

• YrA1A2A3-1.molecule.pdf
• YrA1A2A3-2.molecule.pdf
• YrA1A2A3-3.molecule.pdf

For more examples simply refer to any of the molecules listed on this page:
