Hiding the title of the bibliography
The thebibliography
environment uses \section*{\refname}
(article
class and similar classes) or \chapter*{\bibname}
(book
and report
and similar classes) internally. Redefining that macro locally to take and discard two arguments (one for *
, one for the actual argument) will remove the headline.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begingroup
\renewcommand{\section}[2]{}%
%\renewcommand{\chapter}[2]{}% for other classes
\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem{ano05}
A. Nonymous et al.\ 2005
\bibitem{oe04}
A.N. Other \& S.O.M. Ebody 2004
\end{thebibliography}
\endgroup
\end{document}
This also works for BibTeX's \bibliography{..}
because it uses thebibliography
internally. For this use:
\begingroup
\renewcommand{\section}[2]{}%
%\renewcommand{\chapter}[2]{}% for other classes
\bibliography{mybibfile}
\endgroup
If you use biblatex you can use the bibliography heading none
which was added in version 1.5 (see the manual, section 3.5.7). I've got an earlier version so I can't try it but I think the following is an example of this option in use:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{database.bib}
@book{texbook,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {The {{\TeX}book}},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
date = {1984}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\bibliography{database.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{texbook}
\printbibliography[heading=none]
\end{document}
Redefine the \binsection
-command. You want to have it empty, so do:
\renewcommand{\bibsection}{}
