How to access and add papers to the group bib?

  • You will need svn to work, which should be transparent if you are logged in to a computer in the department. Whenever asked for a password, enter your admitto password.
  • In the directory where you wish to handle paper reading/writing, create a working copy of the bib directory.

For example, 

cd ~
svn checkout https://svn.ch.cam.ac.uk/svn/wales/groups/djwpapers/bib
cd bib
svn update
  • To add a bib entry, make the desired changes and then save them. Make sure that the entry does not

exist already. Duplicate entries with different bibtex mnemonics cause erroneous entries in the bibliography, which are tedious to correct if they are only detected at the proof stage. The group files are an important resource, which can save a great deal of time in paper and thesis writing.

The bib entry for a paper can usually be obtained by googling the paper first, find the link 'cite this' somewhere, choose the 'BibTeX' option when asked to select citation manager/file format, and then download it (or directly open it) to see the bib entry. For naming the keys, please follow the group practice as given in https://wikis.ch.cam.ac.uk/wales/wiki/index.php/Wales_Group_Conventions_when_using_LaTex

  • Commit your changes with a descriptive message so that others know what the commit corresponds to.
svn commit -m "Your message here"
