After the first run, KBibTeX will propose to make it the default editor for bibliography formats. We recommend you to do so.[1]
Then you will see a window that looks similar to this:
To start a new bibliography document press the button on the right panel, the button on the toolbar or choose the → (Ctrl+N) menu item.
Now it is time to add some entries.
Users of KBibTeX have two choices when adding a new entry: they can use the Online Search panel to find entry data online or they can write the code by hand.
Let's try to add a book entry manually.
Choose → → from the KBibTeX menu. KBibTeX should open Edit Element window.
Choose from the Type: drop down list.
Enter
