The available types of BibTeX entries and fields are documented at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX.

The naming convention for entires is:

<last name>_F[M]:<year>

Where <last name is the primary author's last name, F = first initial and M is an optional middle initial. If there are more than one reference in a year, subsequent ones are labeled with the date plus a sequence letter, e.g, Duncan_M:2009; Duncan_M:2009A, etc.

If two authors use <last name 1>_<last name 2>:<year> (e.g., Thomas_Martin:2006).

If more than two authors use <last name 1>_et_al:<year> (e.g., Schmitt_et_al:2004).

For institutional authors use initials (i.e. DOD:2009 = Department of Defense 2009 article)

Where possible include a url = entry pointing to a location where the reference may be found. If a second location is available use the alturl = key. Chose the location most likely to be persistent over time for the url = key. IF an SSRN entry is available use the SSRN = key.
