I understand the required fields for InProceedings to be: Authors, Title, BookTitle, Year
(see, e.g., http://www.uibk.ac.at/th-physik/howto/b ... tx-14.html).
In my configuration (this may not be the default configuration since I have moved things around a bit without keeping a trace
), BookTitle corresponds to the "Volume" field (i.e., as it does for the Book Chapter reference type). This does indeed correspond to the fields highlighted in bookends when the BibTeX option is turned on. In fact, the only difference I observe between the Book Chapter and InProceedings reference types is that the former also requires the publisher field.However, the data imported from my old EndNote library has put the conference name data into the "Journals" field. In most of the output formats I have looked at (e.g., APA, Chicago, Nature), it also this "Journals" field which seems to be where the conference name data is expected.
So I am in a quandary:
- if I follow the BibTeX highlighted required fields when entering new data, I am guided to enter the that data into to the Journals field; it is then ignored by the above-mentioned Bookend-supplied styles;
- if I want to use Bookend-supplied styles, I need to change the BibTex required field so that BookTitle corresponds to Journals, but there seems to be no way to do this (this would of course make InProceedings field definitions inconsistent with those of Book Chapter).
Is there something I've missed (or misconfigured) something or what? Should I just forget InProceedings and enter all conference papers as Book Chapters?
