Example

Here is an example of how to use the “inproceedings” BibTeX type:

@inproceedings{mypaper,
  title        = {An Analysis of Example},
  author       = {John Smith and Jane Doe},
  year         = 2022,
  month        = {June},
  booktitle    = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Example},
  publisher    = {ACM Press},
  address      = {New York, NY},
  series       = {Example Conference Proceedings},
  volume       = 1,
  number       = 2,
  pages        = {123--130},
  editor       = {David Brown and Susan Green},
  organization = {ACM}
}

In this example, the BibTeX entry defines a paper titled “An Analysis of Example” authored by John Smith and Jane Doe that appeared in the conference proceedings of the International Conference on Example. The proceedings were published in 2022 and edited by David Brown and Susan Green. The conference was held in June in New York, NY, and was sponsored by the ACM. The paper appeared on pages 123-130 of volume 1, issue 2 of the “Example Conference Proceedings” series published by ACM Press.
