Bibliography with Metadata:

Question

I am constructing a bibliography of as much of the prior research in a field I am working in. I would like to use BibTeX to print the citation in the pdf, and then I would like to add the details of the paper after the citation. Only then would I like to print the next citation. For example:

[1] Jahan M. Dawlaty and Yunquing Chen. Measurement of the optical absorption of graphene in the terahertz. Applied Physics Letters, 2008.

Research Group: Cornell

Pump Wavelength: 500 nm.

Probe Wavelenth: 7 microns.

Relaxation Time: 50 fs.

[2] Paul George and Dmitry Vekslar, Measurement of Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics in Graphene. Applied Physics Letters, 2009.

. . . and so on.

Does anyone know how this could be done?

Answer 1

With biblatex you can use the field addendum, which is similar to note, but always printed at the end of the bibliography entry:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{dawlaty,
  author={Jahan M. Dawlaty and Yunquing Chen},
  title={Measurement of the optical absorption of graphene in the terahertz},
  journal={Applied Physics Letters},
  year={2008},
  addendum={\par
    Research Group: Cornell \\
    Pump Wavelength: 500 nm. \\
    Probe Wavelenth: 7 microns. \\
    Relaxation Time: 50 fs.}}

@article{george,
  author={Paul George and Dmitry Vekslar},
  title={Measurement of Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics in Graphene},
  journal={Applied Physics Letters},
  year={2009}}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage[sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

% to remove the addendum (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208441)
% in the case that you want to use the same .bib file elsewhere without them
%\AtEveryBibitem{%
%  \clearfield{addendum}%
%}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

For normal BibTeX, you could (ab)use the note field in the bib-file. This only works if the note is typeset last of course, and I don't know if that always is the case. Hence, this may not be a solution at all, though it works for the example you posted.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{dawlaty,
  author={Jahan M. Dawlaty and Yunquing Chen},
  title={Measurement of the optical absorption of graphene in the terahertz},
  journal={Applied Physics Letters},
  year={2008},
  note={\par
    Research Group: Cornell \\
    Pump Wavelength: 500 nm. \\
    Probe Wavelenth: 7 microns. \\
    Relaxation Time: 50 fs.}}

@article{george,
  author={Paul George and Dmitry Vekslar},
  title={Measurement of Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics in Graphene},
  journal={Applied Physics Letters},
  year={2009}}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
