Citing Websites using BibTex

Post by Noobix Cube »

I am trying to cite a web site using Bibtex.
I have the following in my preamble
\usepackage{url}

and in my .bib file I have

@article{
exoplanetwebsite,
Author = {Jean Schneider},
Title = {The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia},
Publisher = {\url{http://exoplanet.eu/catalog.php}} }


The Author and Title show up in the PDF bibliography but not the website. Any thoughts?

You can use a package/bibstyle combination that has explicit support for URLs, like natbib or babelbib.

The problem is that web sites are NOT articles (i.e., shorter passages of writing in a periodical). Instead, use the howpublished field:

@misc{exoplanetwebsite,
author = {Jean Schneider},
title = {The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia},
howpublished = {\url{http://exoplanet.eu/catalog.php}}
}

There is also the urlbst package.

Could anyone post an example? I am trying to make entries appear like "WebSite, http://www.site.com", but it isn't working.
