Bibliography Workflow

1 Prepare a .bib databaseBibTEX or biber will select entries for works you cite inyour text, and format them according to the format youchoose.

2 Mark inline citations in main textSome bibliographic styles require a style file in thepreamble too

3 Run LATEX to generate an .aux file

4 Run BibTEX to generate a .bbl file (sorted formattedbibliography)

5 Run LATEX twice more to input bibliography andcomplete cross references
