alpha.bst

Alpha.bst is a style file used with BibTeX, a tool for managing references in LaTeX documents. It defines how references are formatted and displayed in your bibliography. Specifically, alpha.bst uses a citation style that combines the author's name and publication year to create a unique label for each reference, making it easy to identify sources quickly. This style is useful for scholarly writing where concise, recognizable citations are preferred, often seen in fields like computer science and engineering. Essentially, alpha.bst ensures your references are consistently formatted and easily recognizable by their abbreviated labels.
