How about "Au-p2006", "Au-p2006b" etc? I think it is convenient to subcategorize the category Bibliography into Articles, Books, Preprints etc. Then for example it will be easier to just go to Preprints subcategory and check anything there already published (if published, update). | How about "Au-p2006", "Au-p2006b" etc?
