Hello, When I'm inserting a bibliography entry, I can select its time. It was types like articles, books, etc. However, "Conference Proceedings" is present three times. I have one after "Brochures", another after "Book excerpt with title" and the last one after "Dissertation". "There can be only one!". As users are probabily using all of them at the same time (I have a user that does), I suggest that: 1. Rename the two extra "Conference Proceedings" to something like: "Conference Proceedings (B)" "Conference Proceedings (C)" 2. whether (B) or (C) they are not in use, hide them. Avoid new docs to use it. 3. if only (B) or (C) is used, migrate it to default "Conference Proceedings" (but inform user) 4. If default "Conference Proceedings", (B) or (C) are used together, warn the user and inform him to migrate to default "Conference Proceedings". Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.2.3 release
This was recently bought up in this discussion thread: http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/6907 The three entries mean different things. Given the comments indicated in the code I think a better set of names would be: - "Conference Proceedings article (BiBTeX)" - "Conference Proceedings article" - "Conference Proceedings" The first two are the same (an article) while the last entry is used for references to the entire proceedings, rather than an individual article. This is not unlike citations and bibliography entries for edited volumes and the articles within them. I am confirming this report. Status set to NEW.
Still in 4.4.2.2

As Owen has indicated in the form link, BibliographyDataType.idl[1] provides the following differences between the for the three identical "conference proceedings" strings :- /** An article in the proceedings of a conference. This entry is identical to the "inproceedings" entry and is included for compatibility with BiBTex. */ const short CONFERENCE = 3; /** An article in the proceedings of a conference. */ const short INPROCEEDINGS = 6; /** The proceedings of a conference. */ const short PROCEEDINGS = 12; @Cor, @Heiko, @Stuart, @Adolfo: Owen has suggested new strings in comment 1, so are there objections or alternative suggestions? This can be easily fixed, as indicated in the forum link, by changing the strings in - http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/extensions/source/bibliography/sections.src [1] http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/offapi/com/sun/star/text/BibliographyDataType.idl
+1 for the strings to be changed as proposed in comment 1. Also, this is inherited from OOo - setting version as such.

(In reply to Yousuf Philips (jay) from comment #6) > @Cor, @Heiko, @Stuart, @Adolfo: Owen has suggested new strings in comment 1, > so are there objections or alternative suggestions? Thanks for pinging again ;-) We should define to have unique labels as a guideline. So definitely yes to rename. As for the text I found Conference Proceeding Conference Paper Conference Inproceeding (this term is kept for German translations) used at BibTex (including the Wikipedia article) and APA sites (search terms I didn't try could be Endnote and Refmanager as commercial programs). And with the +1 I remove the needsUX keyword so this ticket can go into the production.
Patch is in based on owen's suggestion. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/28813
