Citation Guide for Database History Files

This guide shows how to update references in your markdown files using MyST MD citation syntax.

All references are stored in docs/references.bib as BibTex.

MyST MD Citation Syntax

To cite a reference in your text, use the following syntax:

{cite}`citation_key`

Then add your key to docs/references.bib as BibTex.

For example:

• {cite}dataversity_history`` will render as a citation to the DATAVERSITY source
• {cite}twobithistory_ims`` will render as a citation to the Two-Bit History article

This will automatically generate a formatted bibliography from all cited references in your document.
