I am trying to use bibtex for the first time. I am on windows 7, using TeXstudio. I am trying to follow the steps of .  I have created a .bib file, put it in the right directory and written the code in my .tex file. However, I do not know how to compile bibtex with TeXstudio (I looked around in the menus but didn't find it).   Most tutorials I found don't explain how to do it, or say to run a command, which I'm not sure how to do.  Any help much appreciated!

When you prepare an article for a journal (in my case, Quantum Information and Computation, Rinton Press), often they ask you to use some format for your references; in my case, the following:     [1] R. Calderbank and P. Shor (1996), Good quantum error          correcting codes exist,  Phys. Rev. A, 54, pp. 1098-1106.      [2] M.A. Nielsen and J. Kempe (2001), Separable states   are  more disordered globally than locally, quant-ph/0105090.      [3] A.W. Marshall and I. Olkin (1979), Inequalities:   theory of majorization and its applications, Academic Press (New   York).   The issue is, sometimes (and this is the case) they do not provide a .bst style file for bibtex users. I (and I guess many other people) prefer not to copy all the references of a bibtex file one by one into a tex document. So here is the question I am trying to answer:     What is the easiest way to create a .bst file? (for Rinton or any other publisher)   At first sight, I thought this would be very easy to do: after all, a .bst file is just a mere script to give format to a list. Strangely to me, after a long search I have been unable to find a simple clean solution to this problem. These are the the options I have been looking at:   I have tried to adapt a previous .bst file: concretely, apsrev4-1.bst, which has a similar format. Other people have tried this solution before , . However, it is an ugly option. First, it requires going through the script of the .bst and understanding it. Second, the script format used in different .bst files differs (quite annoyingly), so it is not easy to modify them unless you do understand what's written. The above solution is quite hideous and you really lose time on it, so I was wondering: isn't there any software tool (hopefully with a GUI) that does this job? It should, after all, pretty easy to program for a .bst script expert some sort of program to generate .bst files. There are some related questions in this site asking for something similar , ; there I have seen a couple of proposed apps, but going through their manuals they seem not so easy to use. Isn't there some software tool available to generate a .bst in less than 1 hour of work?   Remarks: ideally I would like to use/personalize/create .bst styles that support eprint fields (e.g. aps4-1.bst).

It looks there is a problem with TexShop and multibib package. multibib package expects that you do bibtex xxx where xxx is your own newcites. However, when using TexShop it looks like it only does it for the main document. Therefore, the only way I have to make it work is to do it from command line (notice the bibtex xxx):   pdflatex main  bibtex main  bibtex xxx  pdflatex main  pdflatex main   Do you know a workaround I can do so that I can latex without problem in any IDE?  Thanks!

Currently having problems with compiling my Master's thesis after downloading the newest version of TeXStudio and MiKTeX. The error message is as follows:  Use of \blx@bbl@verbadd@i doesn't match its definition. \verb   The only other place I found a similar question regarding this error message was found here:   I am not sure how this applies to my problem, but from what I understand this is due to some problem in an external file. If you need the bibliography-entry, I can provide you with that on short notice, though it is rather long (which is why I didn't include it here in the first place).  I am using Mendeley Desktop v1.16.1 to automatically generate my BibTeX database.   I am using biblatex as follows:  \usepackage[backend = bibtex,         style = numeric-comp,         sorting = none,         natbib = true,         doi = false,         isbn = true,         hyperref = true]{biblatex}   I also have some code to change how the bibliography output, but I doubt it is causing the problem, as commenting it out did not help.  Hope anyone knows what causes my problem and how to fix it.  Thanks.

As you see BibLatex prints an "and" instead of an "&amp;". It seems as \citeauthor is only thought to be used as in-text citation (there the "and" is correct).  I guess I could make my life a little bit easier by using the natbib option (see ). However, that changes some formations that I don't want to have changed.  My question therefore is: How do I get the ampersand (&amp;) into the my citation without globally changing the and for in-text citations?

I'm using Jabref to manage my Bibliography.  Sometimes, I put directly:     First Author et al.   when adding the article author's name in Jabref.  When compiling my .tex file, LaTeX doesn't recognize the et. al as more names. It takes it as a name/surname.  This is an example of a Bibliography entry in Jabref.  @ARTICLE{Wolf2003,     author = {Wolf, K.et al.},     title = {Compensation mechanism in tumor cell migration: mesenchymal–amoeboid     transition after blocking of pericellular proteolysis},     journal = {J.

I use plain bibliography style for my book. When I compile it, by default, I get the details including the title in my reference. like this:     H. J. C. Berendsen, J. P. M. Postma, W. F. van Gunsteren, a. Dinola, and J. R. Haak. Molecular dynamics with coupling to an external bath. J. Chem. Phys., 81:3685-3690,1984.   This is too long and I have more than 100 such references which makes the document too long. How can I force it to remove the title from this reference? something like this:     H. J. C. Berendsen, J. P. M. Postma, W. F. van Gunsteren, a. Dinola, and J. R. Haak.  J. Chem. Phys., 81:3685-3690,1984.   Your answer will be greatly appreciated.  By the way, I still would like to use the plain bibliography style.

I'm using LaTeX + BibTeX to write my dissertation. I have one separate .tex file for each chapter. And I'll generate one bibliography for each chapter. But all the references are from the same file (main.bib).   So, there are many situations in which different chapters will cite the same reference. Thus, one reference can appear more than once in the bibliographies of the whole dissertation (but in different chapters). I'd like to use back references from the . I'm just wondering whether it would be possible to do so?  % chapter 1 Bibliography [1]. A and B, Nature, 1991. 15, 20. ...  % chapter 2 Bibliography ... [3]. A and B, Nature, 1991. 55, 67. ...

So for a report my teacher gave us exact prerequisite for the layout. He wants in text footnote citations in the author-year style and the bibliography in  the APA (5th) style. EDIT: The reference list should be numberd and sorted according to the appearence and I think corresponding to the footnote number.  Because I do not want to merge 5 .doc (MS Word) files from my group members and format everything in MS Word I need to get this to work in LaTeX.  Currently I am trying to get this to work with biblatex and Biber, but the combination of the two styles turns out to be very difficult to me. I am not set on biblatex. So, if it can be done with BibTeX or whatever, that is fine.

I am submitting my first article to ArXiv and in the instructions they specify I have to include the .bbl file. Their instructions are:  "We do not run BibTeX in the auto-TeXing procedure. If you use it, include in your submission the .bbl file that BibTeX produces on your own machine; otherwise your references will not come out correctly. We do not run BibTeX because the .bib database files can be quite large, and the only thing necessary to resolve the references for a given paper is the .bbl file. The name of the .bbl file must match the name of the main .tex file for the system to process the references correctly."  My knowledge of LaTeX is basic, and I have not heard of .bbl file before. I am using TeXmaker. I have my tex file and my bib file. So what do I exactly do to obtain the .bbf file correctly and submit the article?  Thanks a lot!

I am using the bioinfo style with natbib and hyperref, using the (Author, Year) style citations.  pdflatex produces two link boxes for each citation: one for the Author and one of the Year.  I would prefer to get a single link for the entire [(Author, Year)] rather than ([Author], [Year]).  I can turn off PDF link boxes and uses colors instead to somewhat improve the appearance of this, but I'd still prefer to just have a single link.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to fix this.  Here is a minimal example:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{natbib} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib} @book{adams80,   title = {The Restaurant at the End of the Universe},   author = {Douglas Adams},   series = {The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy},   publisher = {Pan Macmillan},   year = {1980} } \end{filecontents} \begin{document}  A theory about the inexplicability of the Universe has been proposed by \citet{adams80}.  \bibliographystyle{plainnat} \bibliography{\jobname}  \end{document}

This question and the answer became part of a package:      How can I qoute secondary quotes which I’ve taken form another book.  Example  Jon Doe writes a book an cites Fred Bloggs in it. Now I read the book of Doe an want to cite his cite of Bloggs. So my bibliography entry must look like     Bloggs, Fred: A nice old book, 1850, p. 35. Quoted in Doe, John: A bad new Book, 2011, p. 67.   Doe’s book should not be listed separately in the bibliography.  I know that there’s a bibstring quotedin containing “quoted in” (p. 159 of biblatex’s manual) but I don’t know if theres a (predefined) way to use it …  Update  It seems that there’s no predefined way, so I decided to use userc for crossreferences like this. This works for the bibliography but not for cite commands. At the moment I create the “in text cite” manually.  It would be great to have a macro like  \QIautocite[&lt;prenote a&gt;][&lt;postnote a&gt;]{&lt;author a&gt;}[&lt;prenote b&gt;][&lt;postnote b&gt;]{&lt;author b&gt;}   that expands to the above given example.  That’s my new code, which gives the right results for bibliography and “in text cite” but the latter not automatically …  \RequirePackage{filecontents} \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib} @BOOKLET{autora,   title = {A nice old book},   userc={autorb},   author = {Fred Bloggs},   year = {1850}, } @BOOKLET{autorb,   title = {A bad new book},   author = {Jon Doe},   year = {2011}, } \end{filecontents}  \documentclass[ngerman]{scrartcl}  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}  \usepackage{babel,csquotes,blindtext}  \usepackage[%     bibstyle=authortitle,     citestyle=verbose-ibid, ]{biblatex} \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}  \NewBibliographyString{bibcitedas} \DefineBibliographyStrings{german}{%   bibcitedas = {{zitiert als}{zit. als}}, }  % Put the 'quoted in text' behind the bibentry. \renewbibmacro*{finentry}{%   \ifbibliography{%     \iffieldundef{userc}{}{%       \newunit\bibstring{quotedin}\addspace\fullcite{\thefield{userc}}     }   }{}%   \finentry% }  \begin{document} \blindtext \begin{quotation}     \blindtext\footnote{\cite[36]{autora}. Zit. nach \cite[89]{autorb}} \end{quotation} \blindtext\footnote{\cite[36]{autora}. Zit. nach \cite[89]{autorb}}  \printbibliography \end{document}   Example 2  In addition to my comment (Hi @Audrey. This works fine :-) but theres a little thing …) on Audrey’s answer:  If I use the quotecite command like this  \quotecite[1]{reese}[5]{weinberg} \quotecite[1]{reese}[5]{weinberg} \pagebreak \quotecite[1]{reese}[5]{weinberg} \quotecite[1]{reese}[5]{weinberg}   the footnotes should look like       1 Reese [full cite], p. 1. Zit. nach Weinberg [full cite], p. 65   2 Ebd.   ———— page break ————   3 Rese [short cite], p 1. Zit nach Weinberg [short cite], p. 65   4 Ebd.   Everything works like expected except footnote 3 which is     3 Rese [short cite], p 1. Zit nach Weinberg [full cite], p. 65     at the moment  Update 2  Since it seems not possible to react to autocite I created a new plain command with  \DeclareMultiCiteCommand{\quoteciteplain}[\cbx@qcwrapperplain]{\cbx@quotecite}{\cbx@qcdelim}  \newrobustcmd{\cbx@qcwrapperplain}[1]{%   \global\toggletrue{cbx@isquote}%   #1%   \global\togglefalse{cbx@isquote}%   \global\togglefalse{cbx@iflastibid}%   \global\togglefalse{cbx@ifquoteepost}%   \global\togglefalse{cbx@ifquoterpost}}
