Bibtex bibliography styles

Introduction and example

When using BiBTeX, the bibliography style is set and the bibliography file is imported with the following two commands:

  \bibliographystyle{stylename}
  \bibliography{bibfile}

where bibfile is the name of the bibliography .bib file, without the extension, and stylename is one of values shown in the table below.

Here is an example that you can open in Overleaf—the .bib file is created for you:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
%Includes "References" in the table of contents
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}

%Title, date an author of the document
\title{Bibliography management: BibTeX}
\author{Overleaf}

%Begining of the document
\begin{document}
