Guidelines for adding Bibliography entries
The available types of BibTeX entries and fields are documented at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX.
Naming Convention for Entries
Do not use BibTeX's automatic "*" entry naming.
The naming convention we are using for entries 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 (e.g., DOD:2009 = Department of Defense 2009 article)
Journal Names
Journal names should not be abbreviated in BibTeX. However, the full citation in individual references should conform to Bluebook standards, including abbreviations.
Links to Articles and References
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.
