Label of bibliography

Question

I have a problem with my bibliography. I use as Editor TexStudio.

When I write my book reference in this format:

    @book{1,
    author = {Davide Gould},
    title = {Complete Maya Programming: An Extensive Guide to MEL and C++ API},
    isbn = {1558608354},
    publisher = {Morgan Kaufmann},
    Year = {2003}
}

In the pdf it appears like this:

While I'd want the number 1 as label, not the "Gou03".

What is the problem?

Welcome to TeX.SX! You have to change the bibtex style to numeric. If you need help with that, then please provide an minimal working example with bibliography (MWEB). — DG', Mar 06 '18 at 10:40

Try:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
   @book{Gould,
    author = {Davide Gould},
    title = {Complete Maya Programming: An Extensive Guide to MEL and C++ API},
    isbn = {1558608354},
    publisher = {Morgan Kaufmann},
    Year = {2003},
    }
\end{filecontents}

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

The label in the bib file has nothing to do with what is printed, whuch is decided by the bibliographic style used.

It doesn't work :( – SnowyNe Mar 06 '18 at 14:26
@SnowyNe What do you mean? The code I have given compiles and gives what you expected. – Denis Mar 08 '18 at 10:04
If I use \bibliography{\nameOfMyBibliographyfile} it gives me the error: Undefined control sequence – SnowyNe Mar 10 '18 at 12:55
Again my code compiles. Ypu probably do not know about MWEB. The only thing you have to remember are the \bibliography{nameofypourfile} and \bibliographystyle{plain}.. No backslash before the name of your file. – Denis Mar 11 '18 at 15:10
