How to use BIBTEX in Scientific Word
Insert citation and list of reference from BIBTEX file in a Sciword may be explained in the help files of Sciword, but sometimes could be confusing for beginners. I hope this helps.
First, prepare your BIBTEX file in a folder or directory that is easy to reach, here for exemple e:\bib, where I put the BIBTEX file 'c:\bib\thesis.bib'. The default directory in sciword is deep inside the swp directory so it is not easy to find.
Open your Sciword. Go to 'typeset' menu, then 'general setting', then set the 'BibTex database directory' this into your bibliography folder, here in this example is 'c:\bib'. Or you can even browse into your preferred directory where you put all your BibTex database.
Now, create a new tex document or open your existing one in Sciword. Go to 'typeset/bibliography choice' and choose your bibliography choice into 'BibTex', and press OK!
Now let's choose your bibliography style. I mostly used 'Chicago' style. So, you need to add Chicago package. Go 'typeset/option and package', and add 'chicago' package.
Now, go to end of your document to put your list of references. Go to 'insert/typeset object/bibliography' and choose your BibTex file, as well as pick 'chicago' style, as shown below.
it will show this
sign in your document.
Now you're ready to add citation, in your text. To do that go to 'insert/typeset object/citation', then choose 'viewkeys', and select your item, here for example is 'arrow54'. then press ok until you go back to your document.
In your document you will see something like this
Then, the next step is to 'save your document', [REMEMBER: you have to save first anytime you want to update your bibliographical citation]. After saving your file, go to 'typeset/compile pdf' then make sure you checkmark the 'make bibliography', like shown below.
Then the result will look like this.
Not like what you expected, huh?? Ok, this is the last bit. Go to 'typeset/preamble' and add this line at the end
\let\cite=\shortciteN
then save, and do compile again. Now you'll see.
