The Conference Entry Type

The conference entry type is used to refer to papers published in conference proceedings. The required fields for a conference entry are:

• author: The name(s) of the author(s) of the paper.
• title: The title of the paper.
• booktitle: The name of the conference proceedings.
• year: The year the conference was held.

Optional fields for a conference entry include:

• editor: The name(s) of the editor(s) of the conference proceedings.
• volume: The volume number of the proceedings.
• number: The number of the proceedings.
• series: The name of the series or set of books that the conference proceedings belong to.
• pages: The page numbers on which the paper appears.
• address: The location of the conference.
• month: The month in which the conference was held.
• organization: The organization that sponsored the conference.
• publisher: The publisher of the proceedings.
• note: Miscellaneous information.

Here is an example of a conference entry:

@conference{example_conference,
  title        = {The Effects of Climate Change},
  author       = {John Smith and Jane Doe},
  year         = 2022,
  month        = {June},
  booktitle    = {Proceedings of the Annual Conference on Climate Change},
  publisher    = {Springer},
  address      = {Los Angeles, CA},
  pages        = {55--62},
  note         = {This is a sample entry for a paper in conference proceedings.},
  editor       = {Bob Johnson},
  organization = {Climate Change Association}
}

Using the Conference Entry Type in LaTeX

Once you have created a conference entry in your BibTeX file, you can reference it in your LaTeX document using the \cite command. For example:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
According to \cite{example_conference}, climate change has significant effects on the planet.
\bibliography{references}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}

In this example, the example_conference entry in the references.bib file is cited using the \cite command. The bibliography is then generated using the plain style.
