BibTeX standard data entries

• address: Usually the address of the publisher or other type of institution. For major publishing houses, van Leunen recommends omitting the information entirely. For small publishers, on the other hand, you can help the reader by giving the complete address.
• annote: An annotation. It is not used by the standard bibliography styles, but may be used by others that produce an annotated bibliography.
• author: The name(s) of the author(s) (in the case of more than one author, separated by and)
• booktitle: Title of a book, part of which is being cited.
• chapter: A chapter (or section or whatever) number.
• crossref: The database key of the entry being cross referenced. Any fields that are missing from the current record are inherited from the field being cross referenced.
• edition: The edition of a book---for example, "Second". This should be an ordinal, and should have the first letter capitalized, as shown here; the standard styles convert to lower case when necessary.
• editor: The name(s) of the editor(s). If there is also an author field, then the editor field gives the editor of the book or collection in which the reference appears.
• howpublished: How it was published, if the publishing method is nonstandard
• institution: The institution that was involved in the publishing, but not necessarily the publisher. (The sponsoring institution of a technical report).
• journal: The journal or magazine the work was published in
• key: A hidden field used for specifying or overriding the alphabetical order of entries (when the "author" and "editor" fields are missing). Note that this is very different from the key (mentioned just after this list) that is used to cite or cross-reference the entry.
• month: The month of publication (or, if unpublished, the month of creation)
• note: Miscellaneous extra information
• number: The "number" of a journal, magazine, or tech-report, if applicable. (Most publications have a "volume", but no "number" field.)
• organization: The conference sponsor
• pages: Page numbers, separated either by commas or double-hyphens. For books, the total number of pages.
• publisher: The publisher's name
• school: The school where the thesis was written
• series: The series of books the book was published in "Lecture Notes in Physics".When citing an entire book, the title field gives its title and an optional series field gives the name of a series or multi-volume set in which the book is published.
• title: The title of the work
• type: The type of tech-report, for example, "Research Note"
• volume: The volume of a journal or multi-volume book
• year: The year of publication (or, if unpublished, the year of creation)

In addition, each entry contains a key that is used to cite or cross-reference the entry. This key is the first item in a BibTeX entry, and is not part of any field.

Other (non standard) fields

• affiliation: The authors affiliation.
• abstract: An abstract of the work.
• contents: A Table of Contents
• copyright: Copyright information.
• date: Usually the date of publication. This replaces BibTEX's year and month fields. Its value should be written in ISO 8601 format, e.g., 1967-02-24.
• eprint: A specification of an electronic publication, often a preprint or a technical report.
• ISBN: The International Standard Book Number.
• ISSN: The International Standard Serial Number. Used to identify a journal.
• keywords: Key words used for searching or possibly for annotation.
• language: The language the document is in.
• location: A location associated with the entry, such as the city in which a conference took place.
• LCCN: The Library of Congress Call Number.
• mrnumber: The Mathematical Reviews number.
• price: The price of the document.
• size: The physical dimensions of a work.
• URL: The WWW Universal Resource Locator that points to the item being referenced. This often is used for technical reports to point to the ftp site where the postscript source of the report is located.
