What is the correct way of citing a book in a presentation (made using Beamer)

I am making slides for presentation using beamer.

I have the following reference book in the bibliography in the following format

[5]Author 1 and Author 2, book name , publication house, year

I have to refer many theorems in the above book, so how should I include page number or in the presentation should I cite like this

Theorem 1 [5] : "theorem statement"

Or do I need to include the names of authors while citing along with page numbers?

Any help is appreciated 🤗.

• 4 In a presentation people can’t click on a citation to see what it’s referring to. You should include the names of the authors on the same slide (at least the first time you mention the book if you’re mentioning it many times) since that’s the only thing your audience will be seeing during your talk. –  Dan Romik Commented Oct 26, 2021 at 4:41

Long bibliographies in beamer

The following code shows the issues we may face with long bibliographies

As you can remark, some references do not appear. To remedy this issue, we can add the option [allowframebreaks] to the frame in question to get multiple slides. Check the modified code:

If you are using a .bib file, you must be using BibTeX. What are the BibTeX commands in the LaTeX file (in particular \blibliographystyle)?  

Related to References format in beamer, LaTeX

The proper format for references in beamer is to use the \bibliography command to specify the bibliography file, and then use the \cite command to cite the sources within the presentation. The bibliography file should be in .bib format and should contain the necessary information for each reference, such as the author, title, and publication information.

Yes, you can use different reference styles in beamer by specifying the desired style in the \bibliographystyle command. Some commonly used styles are plain , abbrv , and alpha . You can also create your own custom reference style using the makebst tool.

To include references in a specific slide in beamer, you can use the \footcite or \footfullcite command. These commands will add a footnote with the corresponding citation at the bottom of the slide. You can also use the \cite command in the slide's content to directly include the citation.

Yes, you can add multiple references in a single citation in beamer by separating them with commas within the \cite command. For example, \cite{ref1,ref2,ref3} will result in a single citation with all three references listed.

To ensure proper formatting and consistency in your references in beamer, make sure to use the same reference style and follow the same format for all your citations. You can also use a reference management tool, such as BibTeX, to organize your references and automatically generate the proper format for each citation.

Cite bibliography in beamer

I am preparing a beamer presentation. In some slides (4 of 30) I want to cite one or two bibliographic references and put them at the bottom of each slide. They lie there just as a bulleted list, not being cited in the text of the slide.

I wonder what is the best approach to do so.

PS: I forgot to mention that bibliographic entries are stored in a .bib file

• bibliographies

• 1 From your previous question, you know how to create references as "bulleted lists" using biblatex. Have you tried the beamer/biblatex combo? –  lockstep Commented Aug 29, 2011 at 13:47
• yes, I have tried this, sorry. The problem now is that I do not get the same format for bibliography in both latex document and beamer presentation; in beamer it gets a bit weird; I do not like ; authors, ... IN Journal ... –  Open the way Commented Aug 30, 2011 at 11:04
• 1 Have a look at tex.stackexchange.com/q/10682/510 . –  lockstep Commented Aug 30, 2011 at 11:06
• ok, but now the problem continues; I get "pp" for the page numbers, like if I was to cite a proceeding instead of a journal, and the volume number appers weird like 13.4 instead of 13(4) ... can not tell beamer to put them in some concrete style? –  Open the way Commented Aug 30, 2011 at 11:38
• beamer has nothing to do with bibliography styles. For customizing biblatex styles, have a look at this question (e.g. it tells you how to remove "pp."). Anyhow, you should ask a new question if you need additional advice. –  lockstep Commented Aug 30, 2011 at 11:43

Here a minimal example, which you should provide.:

ALSO NO PROBLEM -- but the same problem you have to provide a minimal example.

• so I wonder how can I give it the exact format for the biliography, I just would like; authors, title, journal, etc (similar so American Medical Association style) –  Open the way Commented Aug 30, 2011 at 11:05
• Ok, I reformulated my question and put an example here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/26959/… –  Open the way Commented Aug 30, 2011 at 12:42

How to make reference file as numbered instead of author names, in my beamer file?

all I am using the following latex file code in my beamer presentation. My query is how to insert normal numbers in the document as reference, instead of author details.

This the the bib file :

@article{cowie2001emotion, title={Emotion recognition in human-computer interaction}, author={Cowie, Roddy and Douglas-Cowie, Ellen and Tsapatsoulis, Nicolas and Votsis, George and Kollias, Stefanos and Fellenz, Winfried and Taylor, John G}, journal={IEEE Signal processing magazine}, volume={18}, number={1}, pages={32--80}, year={2001}, publisher={IEEE} }

How to do proper referencing here, this bibliography style is also not working.

• bibliography

• You seem to be mixing two different bibliography systems. \bibliographystyle{unsrt}\bibliography{ref.bib} is for bibtex, while the rest of your code is for biblatex. If I remove these and compile your file with pdflatex, biber and pdflatex again, I get numeric references i.sstatic.net/Plz6v.png –  samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 8:20

It works for me but tbh I'm not quite sure how or why...
