# Bibliography Files

2

3

All `.bib` files in this directory are automatically merged and deduplicated into `bibliography.bib` during compilation.

4

5

## How It Works

6

7

1. Place your `.bib` files here (any name except reserved ones below)

8

2. During compilation, all `.bib` files are merged into `bibliography.bib`

9

3. `bibliography.bib` is symlinked into the manuscript contents directory

10

4. LaTeX uses `bibliography.bib` for citations

11

12

## Adding References

13

14

Add entries to any `.bib` file. Organize by topic if you like:

15

16

```

17

bib_files/

18

├── bibliography.bib # AUTO-GENERATED (merged output)

19

├── .bibliography_cache.json # Cache (auto-managed)

20

├── my_papers.bib # Your own publications

21

├── related_work.bib # Related work references

22

├── methods_refs.bib # Methodology references

23

└── README.md

24

```

25

26

## Reserved Filenames

27

28

These are managed by the system -- do not edit manually:

29

30

- `bibliography.bib` - merged output (overwritten each compilation)

31

- `.bibliography_cache.json` - deduplication cache

32

33

## Example Entry

34

35

```bibtex

36

@article{smith_neural_2023,

37

author = {Smith, John and Doe, Jane},

38

title = {Neural Network Analysis of EEG Signals},

39

journal = {Journal of Neuroscience Methods},

40

year = {2023},

41

volume = {400},

42

pages = {1--15},

43

doi = {10.1016/j.jneumeth.2023.001},

44

}

45

```

46

47

## Citing in Manuscript

48

49

```latex

50

Previous work \cite{smith_neural_2023} demonstrated...

51

```

52

53

## Validation

54

55

Run `make check` to verify bibliography files exist before compilation.
