In your BibTeX entries, you can utilize the howpublished field to detail the publication medium or source of the reference. This field is highly useful when you need to incorporate non-traditional sources into your references, such as web pages or online reports.

Here is an example demonstrating how to use the howpublished field to specify a URL when citing a web page:

@misc{BibTeXeu,
  title = {{Reference management with BibTeX: A short guide}},
  howpublished = {\url{https://bibtex.eu/}},
  note = {Accessed: 2022-06-12}
}

In this example, the howpublished field is used to provide the URL of the web page being cited, offering readers a direct link to the source. Remember to include a note field to specify the access date, which is a common requirement when citing online sources.
