Not usually.  Usually just an extra blank line breaks them I think.

Good question.  I'm not sure about this, others may have an idea, but
here's how we've done it a while ago:

\citation{Bernstein:2000} - in the text of the article

at end..
\bibcite{Bernstein:2000}{Bernstein et\nobreakspace  {}al. (2000)}

I'd prefer author surname + part of the title with .tex extension.  But
if they have a bunch of files with their article, then make a subfolder
with their surname and then do whatever.

Hope that helps,
