Right, I saw it in the file when I checked; I meant, that journal paper seems to contradict "after seventeen years of attempts, an RCU paper made it into a top-flight academic journal". :) > > > +,day = {25} > > > +,doi = {10.1007/s11227-012-0766-x} > > > +,issn = {0920-8542} > > > +,journal = {The Journal of Supercomputing} > > > +,keywords = {linux, simulation} > > > +,month = apr > > > +,posted-at = {2012-05-03 09:12:04} > > > +,priority = {2} > > > +,title = {{A Read-Copy Update based parallel server for distributed > > > crowd simulations}} > > > +,url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11227-012-0766-x} > > > +,year = {2012} > > > +} > > > + > > > + > > > +@unpublished{JonCorbet2012ACCESS:ONCE > > > > LWN is not "unpublished"; it's at least "misc", and I'd suggest > > "article".

Several different tags make sense, but "unpublished" isn't one of them. "unpublished" exists for entirely un-reviewed works such as self-hosted PDFs. LWN has editorial standards. Thus, of the standard tags that work with all BibTeX styles, I think either "article" or "misc" would make more sense than "unpublished". An example from one of my own .bib files: @article{tiny-rcu-lwn, author = "Paul E. McKenney", title = {{RCU: The Bloatwatch Edition}}, journal = "Linux Weekly News", month = "March", year = "2009", day = "17", url = {https://lwn.net/Articles/323929/} } (With the obvious change that since you don't use "url" in your .bib files, that should go in "howpublished" or "note" instead.) - Josh Triplett -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
