How can I change the “References” to “Reference” in the thebibliography environment?
My problem is that I have only one reference. So I would like the head of this part to appear "Reference" instead of commonly "References". More generally, could we change the title "References" to an arbitrary name?
Thank you very much for your help!

It depends on the documentclass.
renewcommandbibname{Reference}
works for some.
As chl points out. Others use refname
instead of bibname
.

You can pretty much tell whether you need refname or bibname by whether the current name is references or bibliography, respectively :-)

@JoannaBryson That's a good heuristic but sadly isn't always true. (It works for the standard document classes but a case-insensitive grep forrefname.*biblio
andbibname.*reference
in mytexmf-dist/tex/latex
directory show a handful that don't follow that convention. Mainly dissertation formats, it seems.)

It seems refname
works fine for me while bibname
not.
For TOC, in case you need it, use contentsname
documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
renewcommand{contentsname}{whatever}
renewcommand{refname}{whatever}
Welcome to TeX.SE! To make your answer more usable for others, it would very much help if you indicated which document class you use. (Some document classes use the macrobibname

In my case, I needed to add the following lines:
usepackage[english,portuguese]{babel}
addtocaptionsportuguese{renewcommand{figurename}{Fig.}}
addtocaptionsportuguese{renewcommand{refname}{Reference}}
renewcommand{figurename}{Fig.}
renewcommand{refname}{Reference}
I hope this helps to complete this topic.
