Notes

  • The Book KEV format covers conference proceedings; there is no separate proceedings format.
  • The conference name itself appears as part of rft.btitle; there is no dedicated conference-name descriptor in the registered Book format.
  • For an open-access preprint of the paper hosted on arXiv, an alternate or additional rft_id=info:arxiv/<id> may be included. See Preprint (arXiv).
