I use biblatex
and \printbibliography
to add a bibliography at the end of my document. I would like the references in a smaller fontsize than the document's default.
{\small \printbibliography}
does not work. It merely shrinks the space right above "References"
.
A minimal working example:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\bibliography{library}
\begin{document}
Al lot fo atextas ljfa slkafj se je kfjaeijfa sdjf aiewjmfcajef studies~\cite{Savit1999,Nowak2004}
{\small \printbibliography}
\end{document}
It assumes you have following BibTex file, named library.bib
:
@article{Savit1999,
author = {Savit, Robert and Manuca, Radu and Riolo, Rick},
doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.82.2203},
issn = {0031-9007},
journal = {Physical Review Letters},
number = {10},
pages = {2203--2206},
publisher = {American Physical Society},
title = {{Adaptive Competition, Market Efficiency, and Phase Transitions}},
url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.82.2203},
volume = {82},
year = {1999}
}
@article{Nowak2004,
author = {Nowak, Martin A. and Sigmund, Karl},
doi = {10.1126/science.1093411},
issn = {1095-9203},
journal = {Science},
number = {5659},
pages = {793--799},
pmid = {14764867},

}

or in the preamble\AtBeginBibliography{\small}
