Bibliography styles

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Because it is in the "label" (\cite key?)  field whereas (I assume
without having seen a MWE) the others are elsewhere ("author" field for
example).

	 Citation Keys

	 A cite key is a unique identifier for a given reference.  BibTeX
	 scans your document for occurrences of a cite command with a cite
	 key embedded in it, and translates it into a properly formatted
	 reference.  Several patterns are common in choosing cite keys, from
	 simple ones such as "lastnameYEAR" to more complicated abbreviations
	 of journal names and author names.  BibDesk will automatically
	 generate cite keys for you (See section Citation Keys), or you can
	 enter your own in the editor.

-->
	 BibDesk takes a fairly strict interpretation of the valid characters
	 for cite keys, and the characters " "@',\#}{~%" (including the space
	 character) are never allowed, while you will be warned if you use
	 one of "&$^" in a cite key.
<--

	 Cite keys are essentially TeX commands, so you should avoid
	 using underscores, for instance, if you ever need to print the
	 actual cite key itself.
