EAGLES uses the `Harvard' style for bibliographic citations and
references, and no other. This allows you to give references
highly important for human knowledge by using the
\cite{}
command (Bresnan, 1982; Chomsky, 1981; Dowty, 1982; Dowty, 1989). This was produced
with the following: \cite{bre82,chom81,dow82b,dow89}
. There are even
some references that are highly stimulating (Talmy, 1985). However, as
Alsina & Mchombo (1988) demonstrates, you can also use a kind of
`nominal' form for citations. Carpenter (1992) also shows this. Here,
we used the command e.g. \citeasnoun{carp92}
Sometimes you need to give a page reference (Jackendoff, 1972, p. 52),
produced as follows: \cite[p. 52]{jac72}
.
However,
you can only do this for the \cite{}
command and not for
the \citeasnoun{}
command, unfortunately.
Note in particular that you do no need to insert parentheses around citations yourself: these are supplied automatically.
As for EAGLES citations, these appear with institutional authors (EAGLES, 1996c). We all know that EAGLES (1996b) is an important document. There are others, too (EAGLES, 1995a; EAGLES, 1995b).
You insert the bibliographic references in a file, in bib format. The bib file that goes with the current document is called layout.bib. Please study this to see how in particular to compose bibliographic entries for EAGLES documents: we use the ``technical report'' style of BIBTeX. You should also find associated files containing templates for the main forms of bibliographic entry (i.e. supplied with the present file and with layout.bib). The template for EAGLES reports is named `er': the fields for author, institution and address are already filled in for you, thus you simply have to supply the key, the title and the document number.
The Harvard style file (harvard.sty) is included by initial.tex as is the specification of the particular citation style we have chosen for EAGLES (`dcu'). If you look at the end of this source LaTeX file you will see how to declare the bibliography for inclusion, using again the bibliography style `dcu'.
To make sure the bibliography and citations are included, you need to give the following set of commands:
The format of the bib file is rather simple. See the file `layout.bib'for examples.
We regret that we cannot accept bibliographies and citations in any form
other than the ones specified above. In particular, the existence of a
bibliographic database `.bib' file is required for ease of processing and
especially for conversion to HTML. We cannot accept bibliographies
specified via the \bibitem{}
command of LaTeX.
Please furthermore respect the
conventions used by EAGLES which are amply exemplified in the file
layout.bib, especially as regards use of initials, and-ing of joint
authors, capitalisation, etc. One of the reasons for using a database file
plus the harvard.sty is that all citations and bibliographies
are then displayed with a harmonious appearance; it is also easier for the
central team to keep track of EAGLES bibliographic references in bib
database format rather than in any other format.
Further instructions on how to use BIBTeX and the bib format are to be found in (Lamport, 1994).
