The only references from your S4R_Stat_145.bib file that will appear at the end of a document are those that have been cited in the text. You can use nocite to get a full bibliography but we will not discuss that further here. When you create your *.Rmd file, you will need to add the line bibliography: S4R_Stat_145.bib to the YAML metadata section. If you have more than one *.bib file, place each file indented on a separate line, preceeded with a dash, and make sure to leave a space after the dash.

bibliography:
    - First.bib
    - Second.bib
    - Third.bib

Mendeley users (preferred)

To create an S4R_Stat_145.bib by creating an automatic syncing .bib file,

  1. Menu: Tools / Options / BibTeX
  2. Check “Enable BibTeX syncing” with “Create one BibTeX file per group” and select the Path to your S4R folder, click OK.
  3. Under “My Library” create a group called “S4R_Stat_145”, or something similar (without spaces).
  4. Check the Path you specified and see whether there are new *.bib files in that folder.
  5. Note, this S4R_Stat_145.bib file will always be up to date with your Mendeley library.

Zotero users

To create an S4R_Stat_145.bib,

  1. Highlight the titles you want to select in Zotero.
  2. For Windows users, right click on the highlighted items; for Mac users, Control-click on the highlighted items.
  3. Select Export Items. Use the drop down menu to select Bib\(\TeX\) (not Bib\(\LaTeX\)) as the format.
