happens often. Reading an article appears to us an American date that interests us. Come to the listing of literature in search of our complete reference but no surprise to discover that figure!. In all probability the author of the article you are reading did not use a bibliographic management program.
management literature is perhaps one of the most important yet cumbersome to create an archaeological texts, are technicians and scientists. In this issue, there are two complementary ways: first, what system of citation and bibliography formatting employ, and secondly, how we handle this in our word processor so that all references cited throughout the text are reflected in the final bibliography.
The first one will not be addressed here, since it is dealt with elsewhere (for example in the wikipedia ). In addition to the case of journals, how to process the literature tends to be detailed in the publication standards. Of course, you have to get inside the head that no one method.
So we go with the latter that is more in the blog wave.
-called bibliographic management programs are a type of software that allow you to manage references, take notes on them, sort them by keywords, etc. They are essentially databases whose attributes describe the different parts of the reference (author, title, year of publication, etc). Its use becomes more versatile when used in conjunction with the word processor so that a program of this kind must of being able to ask us to insert citations in the text and at the end of the work we generate a list of literature cited in the article. And of course, without forgetting.
OpenOffice already has built the ability to manage literature through a database and several predefined commands that allow using it in the text of the writer. It has many advantages and some disadvantages, but it works with pearls. Perhaps the greatest discomfort comes from the forms with which to edit the references, but for me is still the first choice.
There are also many other open source alternatives (and pay), and there are several points in the network where users can check and compare such here (including open source software) or here (in conjunction with payment). Personally I fretted with bibus that looks good, and it works also with "other processors."
However, there is an option of OpenOffice which is especially convenient, at least for me, and that it beats all others. I bring back the document that at the moment I'm working, so I edit it at home and at work (or wherever you click the flash memory). The problem of bibliographic management programs is that they are local databases (or served by internet). That is, you may on the computer you are editing my paper, there are no references to type in another. The solution given to this problem is to export and import references in the target computer (ie a roll). Another option is to have a server with the bibliographic database, which connect from where he edited. No comments.
The third option for me is good. OpenOffice allows you to embed references in the document, which references are with him wherever he goes. Also references embedded in a document can be copied to another by simply copying the appointment. This is accomplished with the command Insert> Indexes> bibliography entry and selecting from document content. A finding.
