NEWBIE: @BOOK help?
As an addition, JabRef (which is a Java application) can automatically download citation information from CiteSeer and PubMed and store it in BibTeX format, albeit once you know the appropriate reference number

Can someone tell me how this is generated? I've noticed this in a few
recent posts. I attempted:
I'm not sure what you mean by "how this is generated". The format is for a bibliographic reference system called BibTeX associated with the LaTeX text processing language. Most BibTeX users have built up a reference database by adding the entries by hand. Editors like emacs have special modes to facilitate entering this information. Searching on the CTAN.org (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) web site may give some links to systems that can generate BibTeX reference databases automatically. On Linux the tellico bibliographic database manager can search commercial sites like amazon.com and download information about specific books from there, then export it in BibTeX format. I haven't tried it myself for books so I can't say how well it works. I have used it for extracting information on movies from imdb.com and it does a good job on that.
