[texhax] referencing

[brobinso at tfn.net]

Hello.  A journal requires an unusual referencing scheme.  They want 
citations numbered, inline, with square brackets, corresponding to 
citations in the reference section.  An example:

Einstein defended the theory of special relativity [1].  He also blah 
blah...
...
...

References
[1] Einstein 1945, Journal of molecular physics, pg 14-35.

I'm trying to use some combination of footnotes and bibtex, but can't seem 
to get the two to work together.

I'm using the most current version of latex (pdflatex, if it matters), 
running ubuntu stable.

I'm sorry if this is covered in a faq, but it's a bit difficult to provide 
proper search terms, without also uncovering irrelevant information.

Thanks for your help.
