General ⇒ Just a little help with bibtex in citing web resources

[dustbinbear]

Hi, recently I'm working on a project but I'm abit stuck on how should I write my bibliography entries in bibtex to cite web resources.

The types of resources I'm mainly citing as references are:

- Some Web articles tutorials/ documentation on a particular tool/ebook (in webpage form)
- Some open source program source codes found from the web
- Some web applications that I refer to (Observing how they work)

Thanks for any advices on how should I do it in advance!

I would probably use the misc entry in BibTeX. For example:

Code: Select all

@misc{ref_label,
  author   = "Firstname {Surname}",
  title   = "Title of article or application",
  month   = jun,
  year   = "2007",
  note  = "Available:  \url{http://latex-community.org}"
}

This way provides some basic information about the reference and also gives the url (do not forget to include the url package in the preamble of the document). It is also flexible because there is no required field (so omitting information will not give a warning and incomplete bibliography entry).
