Part of the purpose of this Wiki is to prepare bibliographies for the different Arché projects. Because there are currently about 2800 bibliographic entries (Feb 2008), there is no master list of all of them. You can get the whole list in BibTeX or RDF/XML format, however. The Arche bibliography can be searched using the engines below. Alternatively, bibliographies for research topics in the respective project areas can be found at:

Search the bibliography

You can search the whole of Arché TWiki with WebSearch; if you want to just find bibliography entries, use the form below:

Works by author: containing the phrase:

How to add to the bibliography

Bibliography entries are just TWiki topics with TWikiForms added. To make any topic into a bibliography entry, edit that topic, and click on the "Add Form" button at the bottom right of the page.

Or, to make things simpler, use this form:

Add a new to bibliography with key:

Please take care not to create duplicate entries in the bibliography. You can use WebSearch to search for a fragment of the title you want to add to find out whether it already has an entry.

As of February 2008, a convention for creating new entries has been agreed upon and must be strictly followed by anyone adding to any of Arché's bibliographies in order to achieve consistency and ease of reference. Please follow these guidelines:

1. To create the WikiWord which will serve as the reference key and the topic title for your entry choose the entire surname of the author and the first four words of the title. If there are less than four words in the title, use them all. If the entry has multiple authors, choose the author appearing first on the publication regardless of alphabetical priority. Hyphenated words both in names and titles count as distinct words. Respect the capital words of the original title in entering the title.

2. Pageranges are given in their entirety, i.e. do not use the format '232-64', use '232-264'.

3. Use Latex friendly quotations signs.

Instructive examples:

When you have finished creating a new entry look at it to see that it is OK. A warning message will be automatically added if there is something wrong (a missing field, for example). You can also look at BibliographyCheck to see a big list of problems (some minor) with the bibliography.

Journals and Publishers

You'll notice when editing bibliography entries that there is a selectable list of journals and publishers. If you don't see the journal or publisher that you want, add them to the Journal or Publisher topics.

Types of entry

Associating entries with ResearchTopics

To associate a bibliography entry with a ResearchTopic, just mention the topic somewhere in the text of the bibliography entry. The ResearchTopics just do a search to see which other topics containing a citation form refer to them.

To create a new ResearchTopic, just create a new topic and include ResearchFooter? on it (edit an existing ResearchTopic to see how).

Bibliography dump

You may retrieve a dump of the entire bibliography, in either of two formats:

The bibliography is not stored internally in either format, in case you're wondering.
