We are going to clean up this reference, remove redundant tags and add new ones. A BibTeX entry must have a unique key. In the example above the key is 'andrews2002genes'. This conforms to the standard format, which is to use the first author's name, the year and the first word (or either the first two words or the second word if the first word is 'the', 'a', or similar common word). The entire entry is encapsulated by @article{...}, though you will also see 'techreport' or 'inproceedings' or similar as the container type. Then within the entry there is a series of tags of the form tag={}. These are comma seperated, and each have distinctive names.
The example reference looks pretty clean. We might use sentence case for the title, but the author is in the form LastName, FirstName/Initials form, and the journal and other information all look fine. For references with multiple authors the authors names should be seperated by ' and '. However, the publisher tag is redundant for an article (it isn't for a book), so it can be removed. When BibTeX references come from JSTOR they often need substantial cleaning.
We are then going to add tags. For the '''up group''' we are going to add the following tags:
filename={Andrews (2002) - Genes And Patent Policy Rethinking Intellectual Property Rights.pdf}
}
 
An empty set of tags, ready for insertion above the filename tag, is below. However, some articles may already have an abstract tag.
 
abstract={},
discipline={},
research_type={},
industry={},
thicket_stance={},
thicket_stance_extract={},
thicket_def={},
thicket_def_extract={},
