By using BibTex you can store all your references in one database for later use in your documents. This eliminates the manual work of creating the records in each paper or report you write. In this Wikibook there is a short introduction to references and BibTex.

Very often when you download a paper from eg. AMC or IEEE there is a BibTex record available. Copy this record into your BibTex database. I use KBibTex, but there are probably many other tools making the management of the BibTex database convenient.

In your paper use these lines to include the BibTex database:

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{../bibtex/research}

if your database is placed in a directory, bibtex, above current directory.
