Do you ever wonder when to enclose your .bib file entry fields with quotes and when to enclose them with braces? Do they even matter? The answer is: it doesn't matter.
Some people prefer to use "" simply for aesthetical reasons, and others prefer to use {}
, arguing that it's preferable if you need to use a "
character within a field.
Note, that these are the only acceptable ways to enclose fields.
Examples
Enclosing fields with {}
@misc{CiteDrive2022,
title = {CiteDrive brings reference management to Overleaf},
author = {CiteDrive, Inc},
year = 2022,
note = {\url{https://www.citedrive.com/overleaf} [Accessed: (Use the date of access)]}
}
Enclosing fields with ""
@misc{CiteDrive2022,
title = "CiteDrive brings reference management to Overleaf",
author = "CiteDrive, Inc",
...
}
There is no right or wrong answer, as long as the information within the field is enclosed correctly. So why not experiment and see which method works best for you?
