Can I import a my bib file IEEE Trans by simply typing between the \begin{thebibliography} and \end{thebibliography} tags \input{./Master.bib} or am I forced to use this style as suggested in IEEE Trans template here?

\begin{thebibliography}{1}

\bibitem{IEEEhowto:kopka}
H.~Kopka and P.~W. Daly, \emph{A Guide to \LaTeX}, 3rd~ed.\hskip 1em plus
  0.5em minus 0.4em\relax Harlow, England: Addison-Wesley, 1999.

\end{thebibliography}

  • You can but then you need to adjust all items one by one manually to comply with the style – percusse Apr 20 '14 at 10:33
  • If you literally mean to \input the .bib file, it won't work correctly, since a .bib file isn't TeX code at all. It's bibtex's job to convert the .bib and .aux files' content into a .bbl, which is the TeX code you see in the final bibliography. – Mike Renfro Apr 20 '14 at 13:12
  • This comes down to 'How does BibTeX work?'. I've marked as a dupe of a general question in the same area, as to be honest you might be best simply reading an intro text. – Joseph Wright Sep 07 '14 at 07:51
