Jak citovat článek z Arxivu pomocí bibtexu

Za zmínku stojí také Biblatex, který má náležitou podporu pro tisk všech stylů. Konkrétně pro arXiv můžete použít

archivePrefix = {arXiv}, eprint = {0902.0885}, primaryClass = {quant-ph},

for a new-style eprint, or

archivePrefix = {arXiv}, eprint = {quant-ph/0401062},

for an old-style eprint.

Both entries were taken directly from the NASA ADS database, clicking on „Export“. The journal field you left empty, except of course if has actually been published elsewhere. As for the template, it depends on the style you are using. I use @article with the style biblatex-phys, and the formatting is good, but with the default style it produces crap if journal is empty. In this case you can use @misc and @online, with similar results. You should avoid @unpublished, however, as it hides the eprint number.

EDIT: Updated to take into account the comments.

Comments

• I disagree that the formatting as @article is good. You get something of the form ... In: (2015) if you omit the journal field, which looks strange…
• Yeah the missing „in“ is really odd.
• Unfortunately arXiv itself is still using texlive 2011 which is completely incompatible with the version of biblatex in texlive 2016.
• I would advise to use the @misc type, as it officially allows the fields eprint, eprintclass, and eprinttype, as opposed to @unpublished, and @online. @article requires journaltitle, as @Jonathan pointed out. See biblatex documentation (2.1 Entry Types and 3.12. Electronic Publishing Information)
• anyone else experience that archivePrefix in one bibtex entry makes the hidden links in the pdf ALL get prefixed by the value of archivePrefix (ie arxiv.org)? This is using apsrev-title.bst

This is what I do

1. Go to arXiv site: e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/q-alg/9503002
2. Click NASA ADS link under References and Citations e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#abs/arXiv:q-alg%2F9503002
3. On the left, click „Export Citation“ e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995JMP….36.6073B/exportcitation
4. Click „Copy to clipboard“ and paste it into your bibtex file
5. (Optional) Check for the most common mistakes in automatically created bib entries Software-generated bibliographic entries: common errors and other mistakes to check before use

Comments

• This is ridiculously useful, I wish I knew about this before…
• May I suggest a 6th step? 6. Check the for the most common mistakes in automatically created bib entries, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/386053/36296
• Now after the NASA ADS link, you can go to „Export“ tab on the left and choose BibTex

General arXiv citations are explained in the arXiv help. The correct citation format depends on whether it is an „old style“ arXiv reference (eg arXiv:hep-ph/9609357) or „new style“ (eg arXiv:0807.2882 [cond-mat.mes-hall]).

The REVTeX4.1 bibstyles also support arXiv references.

AMS styles, I can“t help….

Comments

• +1 for eprint, that’s as much of a standard as I’ve ever seen. If the AMS styles don’t use it, then that’s an AMS-specific issue. You can modify the Bibtex style to include the eprint field if it’s important to you.
• Neither eprint nor url are standard fields in the current BibTeX. You can’t hardly fault a style for not implementing a non-standard field. (Though I thought I heard a rumour here that the next version of BibTeX will have proper support of electronic documents.)
• Just a comment on David Zaskavsky’s comment: There is a lovely little script called urlbst that adds support for the eprint and url fields (and various other kinds of web link e.g. DOI’s and PubMed) to an existing bst file. It works fine on the AMS styles.
• The link to the help is invalid now

I usually leave journal blank, or put in the word „pre-print“. The arXiv information I usually put in note, since the AMS styles ignore the eprint field. When I get less lazy I sometimes use, instead of the @article document type, @misc.

Comments

• This more like what I was asking. Now, it would be good to know if this is standard and even more if AMS has some guideline in this case.
• Actually there is a bibtex entry that is @unpublished which is the one I am using. I didn’t noticed and I put @article in the example above. It has fields: author, title, note, month, year and key. So the question is more about whether to put the arxiv code of the article in note or in key.
• Nevermind. Key is a field that is ignored and not printed, so it can not be there. Then I think it should be in NOTE as you said.
• What exactly should be in the note field? The full URL or just the arXiv id?
• @ErelSegalHalevi: there is no „should“, since I don’t think it is standardized. But I generally just put the arXiv id such as arXiv:gr-qc/XXXXXXX or arXiv:XXXX.XXXX Remember, absent an actual style guide from a journal, the main goal of the bibliography is to make the references findable by readers. The arXiv id (properly formatted) is sufficient to uniquely identify a pre-print, so it is generally good enough.

DBLP, which generally produces good BibTeX files, formats an archive entry as:

@article{DBLP:journals/corr/abs-1207-0016, author = {Ruchen Duan Yingbin Liang}, title = {Bounds and Capacity Theorems for Cognitive Interference Channels with State}, journal = {CoRR}, volume = {abs/1207.0016}, year = {2012}, ee = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.0016}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de} }

• Tento formát nedodržuje pokyny uvedené na arxiv.org a vyhrál jsem ‚ nerozumím referenci osobně, pokud se adresa URL nezobrazí.

Při sestavování seznamu publikací používám záznam bibtex, který Spires poskytuje pro každý záznam. Můžete vyhledat autora a datum a vyhledat položku Spires.

@misc je nejlepší řešení. Stačí zadat archivePrefix="arXiv" a eprint id, jako v odpovědi Mateuse.

@article zobrazí prázdné In: pole a @unpublished neukáže arXiv id, ale @misc zobrazuje autora, název, rok a ID arXiv.
