I want to reference a book chapter with IEEETran format. However the booktitle does not appear. The bib file is

@Inbook{Lai10,
author="Lai, Lifeng and Gamal, Hesham El and Poor, H. Vincent",
title="Message Authentication: Information Theoretic Bounds",
bookTitle="Securing Wireless Communications at the Physical Layer",
year="2010",
publisher="Springer US",
address="Boston, MA",
pages="335--353",
isbn="978-1-4419-1385-2",
}

and the result is like

enter image description here

Do you know how to add the booktitle to the reference? Thanks in advance

The answer I found in another page (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/2568/203601) Don't use @inbook ever for anything. Use one of the following, depending on the situation:

@book and \cite[Chapter~5]{foo} for a monograph.

@incollection for a book in which each chapter has a different author. Then the relevant fields are booktitle= and title=; this is similar to @inproceedings.

  • This is probably more or less true for many BibTeX styles (which often don't even know a type @inbook and have to fall back to @misc), but it is not quite true for biblatex: With biblatex you can use @inbook if need be (but one should use it right and only use it if the whole book was written by the same set of authors). But even with biblatex it is often the case that @book or @incollection are the better or more conventional choices. – moewe Dec 20 '19 at 07:50
