biblatex types and fields
Biblatex and bibtex support different database types. In this issue we should clarify
- which biblatex entires will be supported in the bibliography
- which attributes are mandatory and optional.
After that, we can deside a transformation from biblatex to bibtex for the publications. Furthermore, we can extract some examples from the World.bib file and use them for the documentation in the README.md.
I used the field lists for bibtex and biblatex
common types are:
- article
- book
- inbook
- incollection
- inproceedings
- proceedings
- booklet
- manual
- misc
- unpublished
bibtex - only:
- conference
- techreport
- mastersthesis
- phdthesis
biblatex -only:
- periodical
- supperiodical
- suppbook
- bookinbook
- mvbook
- suppcollection
- collection
- mvcollection
- inreference
- reference
- mvreference
- report
- patent
- thesis
- online
- set
- xdata
As can be seen from the three lists. that biblatex combines the mastersthesis and phdthesis in one entry type thesis. Hence for bibtex, we have to specify the type in a field. I suggest the field type .
Which biblatex-only types do we want to support and how do we want to transform them to bibtex?
