Changing Reference Names in LaTeX: Customizing Bibliography Labels

In LaTeX documents, you can change the names of certain sections, like "References," to better fit your document's context. This is done using the \renewcommand{\name}{New Label} command. For example, in an "article" document, the default label for references is "References," while in "report" and "book" documents, it's "Bibliography."

Here's how you can do it:

For "article" class:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\renewcommand{\refname}{Quellen} % Change label to "Quellen"
\begin{document}

Quelle anstelle Literatur
%...
Text
%...

\begin{thebibliography}{9}
% ...
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

For "report" and "book" classes:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{Quellen} % Change label to "Quellen"
\begin{document}
Quelle anstelle Literatur
%...
Text
%...

\begin{thebibliography}{9}
% ...
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
