Entry types

Entry types are used to classify BibTeX entries according to their type. Currently, PUMA supports the following 24 types of publications:

• article (a short entry representing an article from a journal or magazine)
• book (a longer entry representing a book with an explicit publisher)
• booklet (a work that is printed and bound, but without a named publisher or sponsoring institution)
• collection (a collection)
• conference (a contribution to a conference that hasn't been published in the proceedings of a conference)
• dataset (a dataset, e.g. used for experiments)
• electronic (electronic publications, e.g. eBooks or blog entries)
• inbook (a part of a book, which may be a chapter and/or a range of pages)
• incollection (a part of a book with its own title)
• inproceedings (an article in the proceedings of a conference)
• manual (technical documentation, manual)
• mastersthesis (a bachelor or master's thesis, a more precise specification is possible with the "type" field)
• misc (an entry type used when nothing else seems appropriate)
• patent (a patent)
• periodical (regularly published work, e.g. a magazine)
• phdthesis (a PhD thesis)
• preamble (an introductory statement)
• preprint (a preprint for a publication that will be published)
• presentation (presentation, talk on an event)
• proceedings (the proceedings of a conference)
• standard (a technical standard, e.g. ISO/IETF)
• techreport (a report published by a school or other institution, usually numbered within a series)
• unpublished (a document with an author and title, but not formally published)
• preprint (a selected piece of work printed and distributed before the official publication date of the complete work, e.g. for a conference)
