+# BibTeX Formatting Guide
+
+Comprehensive guide to BibTeX entry types, required fields, formatting conventions, and best practices.
+
+## Overview
+
+BibTeX is the standard bibliography format for LaTeX documents. Proper formatting ensures:
+- Correct citation rendering
+- Consistent formatting
+- Compatibility with citation styles
+- No compilation errors
+
+This guide covers all common entry types and formatting rules.
+

+  note   = {Accessed: 2024-01-15}
+}
+```
+
+## Formatting Rules
+
+### Citation Keys
+
+**Convention**: `FirstAuthorYEARkeyword`
+
+**Examples**:
+```bibtex
+Smith2024protein
+Doe2023machine
+JohnsonWilliams2024cancer  % Multiple authors, no space
+NatureEditorial2024        % No author, use publication
+WHO2024guidelines          % Organization author
+```
+
+**Rules**:
+- Alphanumeric plus: `-`, `_`, `.`, `:`
+- No spaces
+- Case-sensitive
+- Unique within file
+- Descriptive
+
+**Avoid**:
+- Special characters: `@`, `#`, `&`, `%`, `$`
+- Spaces: use CamelCase or underscores
+- Starting with numbers: `2024Smith` (some systems disallow)
+
+### Author Names
+
+**Recommended format**: `Last, First Middle`
+
+**Single author**:
+```bibtex
+author = {Smith, John}
+author = {Smith, John A.}
+author = {Smith, John Andrew}
+```
+
+**Multiple authors** - separate with `and`:
+```bibtex
+author = {Smith, John and Doe, Jane}
+author = {Smith, John A. and Doe, Jane M. and Johnson, Mary L.}
+```
+
+**Many authors** (10+):
+```bibtex
+author = {Smith, John and Doe, Jane and Johnson, Mary and others}
+```
+
+**Special cases**:
+```bibtex
+% Suffix (Jr., III, etc.)
+author = {King, Jr., Martin Luther}
+
+% Organization as author
+author = {{World Health Organization}}
+% Note: Double braces keep as single entity
+
+% Multiple surnames
+author = {Garc{\'i}a-Mart{\'i}nez, Jos{\'e}}
+
+% Particles (van, von, de, etc.)
+author = {van der Waals, Johannes}
+author = {de Broglie, Louis}
+```
+
+**Wrong formats** (don't use):
+```bibtex
+author = {Smith, J.; Doe, J.}  % Semicolons (wrong)
+author = {Smith, J., Doe, J.}  % Commas (wrong)
+author = {Smith, J. & Doe, J.} % Ampersand (wrong)
+author = {Smith J}             % No comma
+```
+
+### Title Capitalization
+
+**Protect capitalization** with braces:
+
+```bibtex
+% Proper nouns, acronyms, formulas
+title = {{AlphaFold}: Protein Structure Prediction}
+title = {Machine Learning for {DNA} Sequencing}
+title = {The {Ising} Model in Statistical Physics}
+title = {{CRISPR-Cas9} Gene Editing Technology}
+```
+
+**Reason**: Citation styles may change capitalization. Braces protect.
+
+**Examples**:
+```bibtex
+% Good
+title = {Advances in {COVID-19} Treatment}
+title = {Using {Python} for Data Analysis}
+title = {The {AlphaFold} Protein Structure Database}
+
+% Will be lowercase in title case styles
+title = {Advances in COVID-19 Treatment}  % covid-19
+title = {Using Python for Data Analysis}  % python
+```
+
+**Whole title protection** (rarely needed):
+```bibtex
+title = {{This Entire Title Keeps Its Capitalization}}
+```
+
+### Page Ranges
+
+**Use en-dash** (double hyphen `--`):
+
+```bibtex
+pages = {123--145}     % Correct
+pages = {1234--1256}   % Correct
+pages = {e0123456}     % Article ID (PLOS, etc.)
+pages = {123}          % Single page
+```
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+pages = {123-145}      % Single hyphen (don't use)
+pages = {pp. 123-145}  % "pp." not needed
+pages = {123–145}      % Unicode en-dash (may cause issues)
+```
+
+### Month Names
+
+**Use three-letter abbreviations** (unquoted):
+
+```bibtex
+month = jan
+month = feb
+month = mar
+month = apr
+month = may
+month = jun
+month = jul
+month = aug
+month = sep
+month = oct
+month = nov
+month = dec
+```
+
+**Or numeric**:
+```bibtex
+month = {1}   % January
+month = {12}  % December
+```
+
+**Or full name in braces**:
+```bibtex
+month = {January}
+```
+
+**Standard abbreviations work without quotes** because they're defined in BibTeX.
+
+### Journal Names
+
+**Full name** (not abbreviated):
+
+```bibtex
+journal = {Nature}
+journal = {Science}
+journal = {Cell}
+journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}
+journal = {Journal of the American Chemical Society}
+```
+
+**Bibliography style** will handle abbreviation if needed.
+
+**Avoid manual abbreviation**:
+```bibtex
+% Don't do this in BibTeX file
+journal = {Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.}
+
+% Do this instead
+journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}
+```
+
+**Exception**: If style requires abbreviations, use full abbreviated form:
+```bibtex
+journal = {Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.}  % If required by style
+```
+
+### DOI Formatting
+
+**URL format** (preferred):
+
+```bibtex
+doi = {10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2}
+```
+
+**Not**:
+```bibtex
+doi = {https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2}  % Don't include URL
+doi = {doi:10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2}              % Don't include prefix
+```
+
+**LaTeX** will format as URL automatically.
+
+**Note**: No period after DOI field!
+
+### URL Formatting
+
+```bibtex
+url = {https://www.example.com/article}
+```
+
+**Use**:
+- When DOI not available
+- For web pages
+- For supplementary materials
+
+**Don't duplicate**:
+```bibtex
+% Don't include both if DOI URL is same as url
+doi = {10.1038/nature12345}
+url = {https://doi.org/10.1038/nature12345}  % Redundant!
+```
+
+### Special Characters
+
+**Accents and diacritics**:
+```bibtex
+author = {M{\"u}ller, Hans}        % ü
+author = {Garc{\'i}a, Jos{\'e}}    % í, é
+author = {Erd{\H{o}}s, Paul}       % ő
+author = {Schr{\"o}dinger, Erwin}  % ö
+```
+
+**Or use UTF-8** (with proper LaTeX setup):
+```bibtex
+author = {Müller, Hans}
+author = {García, José}
+```
+
+**Mathematical symbols**:
+```bibtex
+title = {The $\alpha$-helix Structure}
+title = {$\beta$-sheet Prediction}
+```
+
+**Chemical formulas**:
+```bibtex
+title = {H$_2$O Molecular Dynamics}
+% Or with chemformula package:
+title = {\ce{H2O} Molecular Dynamics}
+```
+
+### Field Order
+
+**Recommended order** (for readability):
+
+```bibtex
+@article{Key,
+  author  = {},
+  title   = {},
+  journal = {},
+  year    = {},
+  volume  = {},
+  number  = {},
+  pages   = {},
+  doi     = {},
+  url     = {},
+  note    = {}
+}
+```
+
+**Rules**:
+- Most important fields first
+- Consistent across entries
+- Use formatter to standardize
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Consistent Formatting
+
+Use same format throughout:
+- Author name format
+- Title capitalization
+- Journal names
+- Citation key style
+
+### 2. Required Fields
+
+Always include:
+- All required fields for entry type
+- DOI for modern papers (2000+)
+- Volume and pages for articles
+- Publisher for books
+
+### 3. Protect Capitalization
+
+Use braces for:
+- Proper nouns: `{AlphaFold}`
+- Acronyms: `{DNA}`, `{CRISPR}`
+- Formulas: `{H2O}`
+- Names: `{Python}`, `{R}`
+
+### 4. Complete Author Lists
+
+Include all authors when possible:
+- All authors if <10
+- Use "and others" for 10+
+- Don't abbreviate to "et al." manually
+
+### 5. Use Standard Entry Types
+
+Choose correct entry type:
+- Journal article → `@article`
+- Book → `@book`
+- Conference paper → `@inproceedings`
+- Preprint → `@misc`
+
+### 6. Validate Syntax
+
+Check for:
+- Balanced braces
+- Commas after fields
+- Unique citation keys
+- Valid entry types
+
+### 7. Use Formatters
+
+Use automated tools:
+```bash
+python scripts/format_bibtex.py references.bib
+```
+
+Benefits:
+- Consistent formatting
+- Catch syntax errors
+- Standardize field order
+- Fix common issues
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### 1. Wrong Author Separator
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+author = {Smith, J.; Doe, J.}    % Semicolon
+author = {Smith, J., Doe, J.}    % Comma
+author = {Smith, J. & Doe, J.}   % Ampersand
+```
+
+**Correct**:
+```bibtex
+author = {Smith, John and Doe, Jane}
+```
+
+### 2. Missing Commas
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+@article{Smith2024,
+  author = {Smith, John}    % Missing comma!
+  title = {Title}
+}
+```
+
+**Correct**:
+```bibtex
+@article{Smith2024,
+  author = {Smith, John},   % Comma after each field
+  title = {Title}
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Unprotected Capitalization
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+title = {Machine Learning with Python}
+% "Python" will become "python" in title case
+```
+
+**Correct**:
+```bibtex
+title = {Machine Learning with {Python}}
+```
+
+### 4. Single Hyphen in Pages
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+pages = {123-145}   % Single hyphen
+```
+
+**Correct**:
+```bibtex
+pages = {123--145}  % Double hyphen (en-dash)
+```
+
+### 5. Redundant "pp." in Pages
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+pages = {pp. 123--145}
+```
+
+**Correct**:
+```bibtex
+pages = {123--145}
+```
+
+### 6. DOI with URL Prefix
+
+**Wrong**:
+```bibtex
+doi = {https://doi.org/10.1038/nature12345}
+doi = {doi:10.1038/nature12345}
+```
+
+**Correct**:
+```bibtex
+doi = {10.1038/nature12345}
+```
+
