How to cite references in LaTeX

[@osayomore]

Your teaching is by far the richest to me. Thank you.

[@theoriginalmikaveli]

As a LaTeX beginner, this really helped me.
The JabRef UI etc. has moved on a bit since, but you still get the idea.

I write my thesis on word. Now I have to convert it into latex? Did i have to put references again or there is any other shortcut to put references ?

[@saidazelmad7177]

Thank you Dr.Martin. Wonderful!! is There a way to specify MLA or APA style on Latex?

[@Dr_Mike_US]

I 💕💕💕 You, SIR...

Glad I could help. :)

[@StephenBoothUK]

I already use Mendeley, is there any benefit of switching to JabRef?

[@MartinOConnorComputing]

I have not used Mendeley. Thus, I am unable to give you an informed answer.

[@adamfit9158]

what about [2] then [1]

[@mbozuyla]

Thank you for this useful video. I have a question. At the end of the video you added two references to text. But it is shown as [1] [2]. How can I show my references like [1,2] or [1-4] in Latex? [1-4] is for the four referances.

[@MartinOConnorComputing]

Hi Mehmet,
Thank you for your feedback.
The cite package automatically sorts numeric citations and can compress a list of consecutive numbers to a range. To show references as [1-3], instead of [1],[2],[3] simply include the bibtex keys in the same cite command. For example: \cite{bibtex-key1, bibtex-key2, bibtex-key3}
Two caveats:
1. You must use the citation package. For example: \usepackage{cite}
2. You must cite three or more references in order for the dash to appear.
There are many sorting options (not just numeric) provided by the citation package. For exact details of these options and an explanation of how to use them, see:
mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf
All the best,
Martin
