    This more like what I was asking. Now, it would be good to know if this is standard and even more if AMS has some guideline in this case. Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 21:17

    Actually there is a bibtex entry that is @unpublished which is the one I am using. I didn't noticed and I put @article in the example above. It has fields: author, title, note, month, year and key. So the question is more about whether to put the arxiv code of the article in note or in key. Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 21:27

    Nevermind. Key is a field that is ignored and not printed, so it can not be there. Then I think it should be in NOTE as you said. Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 21:39
  • What exactly should be in the note field? The full URL or just the arXiv id? Commented Feb 16, 2015 at 17:40

    @ErelSegalHalevi: there is no "should", since I don't think it is standardized. But I generally just put the arXiv id such as arXiv:gr-qc/XXXXXXX or arXiv:XXXX.XXXX Remember, absent an actual style guide from a journal, the main goal of the bibliography is to make the references findable by readers. The arXiv id (properly formatted) is sufficient to uniquely identify a pre-print, so it is generally good enough. Commented Feb 17, 2015 at 8:19
