What is a .bib file?
application/x-bibtex
BibTeX (.bib) is a plain-text bibliography database used with LaTeX and reference managers. Each entry has a type (@article, @book, @inproceedings), a citation key, and tagged fields like author, title, year, and journal. It is the standard citation format in academic writing.
How to use a .bib file
Use an example .bib file to test BibTeX and BibLaTeX parsers, reference managers (Zotero, Mendeley, JabRef), and citation-format converters (for example BibTeX to RIS or CSL-JSON).
