How I structure my .bib files (personal preference)

• Ordered alphabetically by key
• Key given as FirstAuthorYear-DOI where DOI available e.g. Gsell2017-10.1016/S1473-3099(17)30541-8
• List all authors names where possible (sometimes citing software hampers this with use of others)
• Use ~ as spacing when authors have multiple first initials, e.g. Smith, V.~T.
• Use curly brackets when authors have double surnames, e.g. Jones-Layton, P.
