I'd like to spread out my references between multiple bibtex files. I tried putting all my references into a file called etho.bib, then put \input{etho.bib} into my main bibtex file. This didn't word. I also tried using \include instead of \input and etho.tex instead of etho.bib, but none of that work.  Is there some way for the bibtex compiler to include text from another document into your .bib file?

I would like to use multiple .bib files for my article, such as file1.bib, file2.bib. However, I would like my references not to be separated (such as &quot;Primary sources&quot;, &quot;Secondary sources&quot;, etc.). These bibliographies just need to be merged into one. One way to do this is to copy-paste these .bib files into one .bib file, and this would solve the problem. However, I would like to keep it split into several .bib files, by topic (file1.bib contains articles on topic1, file2.bib contains articles on topic2, and so on). I tried to do \bibliographystyle{alpha}  \bibliography{file1} \bibliography{file2}  but this just gives me the same bibliography twice!

I'm using biblatex to print the bibliography for my document and I'm quite happy with the result. However, I also want to add a list of personal publications in another part of the document. It works very well with the refsection environment, but I would like to use for this part another style (e.g., ).   Q: Is it possible to use two different biblatex styles at different parts of a single document?    Example:  For the general bibliography:     Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford   Stein. Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition. 3rd. The MIT Press,   2009   For the personal publication list:     1987 (with John Doe and Mary Hall). Are there new trends in gardening?   In: Gardening Practice 24, pp. 10–15.     It seems that the style can only be specified when loading the package which makes the style a global option. Is there a way around this?

I need to make my (BibTeX) references section appear in the table of contents of my LaTeX document (documentclass: article), with section numbering too.  My approach until now has been making a new section and including the bibliography (references.bib) at that point:  \section{References} \bibliography{references}   However, the final document shows both the section title that I have written and the section title that BibTeX writes, which is quite redundant and I definitely dislike.  How can I either remove BibTeX's section title, or make the BibTeX bibliography appear in the table of contents without making a new section?  If I were to make the BibTeX bibliography appear in the table of contents without making a new section, how could I assure that the section title that BibTeX writes looks exactly like sections typeset with \section?

I know that it is required to first create a database of references stored in a .bib file. Mendeley exports my reference list in .bib format. But how can I know what to write in curly brackets in \cite{} to refer to a particular author? Do I need to keep the .bib file open and find the relevant name to cite? Or am I missing something? What is your recommendation for referencing in LaTeX?

I am trying to learn how to use bibtex. I found this  and created two files:  % Untitled.tex  \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{natbib}  \begin{document}  \title{BibTeX in action} \author{Martin J. Osborne} \date{2008-1-13}  \maketitle  \section{Introduction} This document illustrates the use of BibTeX\@.  You may want to refer to \cite{ahu61} or \cite{ab94} or \cite{m85}.  Or you may want to cite a specific page in a reference, like this: see \citet[p.~199]{m85}.  Or perhaps you want to cite more than one paper by Maskin: \cite{m85, m99}. Or you want to make a parenthetical reference to one or more articles, in which case the \verb+\citealt+ in the \texttt{te.bst} bibliography style omits the parentheses around the year (\citealt{ahu61}).  \bibliographystyle{te}  \bibliography{bibl}  \end{document}  % bibl.bib @article{ahu61,        author={Arrow, Kenneth J. and Leonid Hurwicz and Hirofumi Uzawa},        title={Constraint qualifications in maximization problems},        journal={Naval Research Logistics Quarterly},        volume={8},        year = 1961,        pages = {175-191}      }  @book{ab94,        author = {Charalambos D. Aliprantis and Kim C. Border},        year = {1994},        title = {Infinite Dimensional Analysis},        publisher = {Springer},        address = {Berlin}      }  @incollection{m85,        author={Maskin, Eric S.},        year={1985},        title={The theory of implementation in {N}ash equilibrium: a survey},        booktitle={Social Goals and Social Organization},        editor={Leonid Hurwicz and David Schmeidler and Hugo Sonnenschein},        pages={173-204},        publisher={Cambridge University Press},        addess={Cambridge}      }   Now the question arises what should I do with them?  I didn't find any manual for BibTex with TexWorks.  I compiling Untitled.tex into pdfLaTeX and see ? instead of citations. I compiling bibl.bib into BibTeX and see error   I couldn't open file name `bibl.aux'.

I am writing a large document with several chapters and I would like to work on each chapter separately. In my main.tex I include the chapters either like   \include{chap1.tex}  \include{chap2.tex}  \include{chap3.tex}   or   \input{chap1.tex}  \input{chap2.tex}  \input{chap3.tex}   I think \include is preferable if I want things to be referenced and cited correctly? but doing it the \include way latex main.tex I don't get any dvi output whereas with \input things compile fine to dvi. What's going wrong here?  I would then like to use \includeonly (or \excludeonly ) to work on individual sections of the document whilst maintaining the referencing etc.  A mwe can be handy:  \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \includeonly{chap1}  \begin{document}   \include{chap1}   \include{chap2}   \include{chap3} \end{document}

I'm writing my thesis and I would like to make 2 "bibliography" references: The first one would be for the publications I'm in and the second one for external references. I've made one *.bib file right now and it's working but I have no idea how I should work with 2 *.bib files.  Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I am trying to merge my tex and bib files into one for a journal submission. Somebody suggested to use the bbl file. I am using texmaker / miktex, and bibtex.  I have no idea as to how to actually create bbl file from bib. All the links I found on this website / google don't actually explicitly explain, step by step, how to do this. And I mean step-by-step (since my knowledge of latex  / computing generally is next to nothing). For example, I see instructions "compile"... And I don't know what this means (as to what key on my keyboard I should be pressing).  Thank you.

I only recently started using Latex for my university documents and for my current one I am using a template provided by them.  I am using bibtex to manage my sources. Here is an example bibtex-entry:  @misc{webpage1,    shorthand = {CompanyName},    author = {Company Name Ltd.},    title="The company's webplatform",    howpublished = "\url{http://company.com/}",    lastchecked = {01.01.2013},    year = 2013 }  @misc{webpage2,    shorthand = {OtherCompanyName},    author = {Some other Company Name Ltd.},    title="Another company's webplatform",    howpublished = "\url{http://other-company.com/}",    lastchecked = {01.01.2013},    year = 2013 }   In my Latex document I use the following code to create a bibliography:  \bibliography{references}    % this causes the references to be listed (file: references.bib) \bibliographystyle{alpha}   My problem is now that when I compile my document, the result is that the bibliography has the following format:  [Ltd13a] Full Company Name Ltd. [Ltd13b] Some Other Company Name Ltd.   I already tried putting a comma between the name and the Ltd. like so:  author = {Company Name, Ltd.}   but this results in this  [FC13a] Ltd. Full Company Name   I have read that shorthand is supposed to help, but I did not succeed.

How do I convert a Word file's references to .bib format? Is any tool available  to convert it to .bib format?

I want to cross-reference between different .tex files, just because I want to put every chapters separately.  Let's say in file chapterI.tex I have \label{a} and I want to access this in file chapterII.tex using something like \ref{a}. How to do this exactly in LaTeX, moreover if LEd have an easy feature to cover this, it will be better (I have put those both files in the same project).  I found another question with similar title, but I just didn't really understand. It's here: .

I want to use more than one type of specification in my bibliography. I want to quote in chronological order but have the bibliography list in alphabetical order.  If I am quoting 2-3 references in the middle of my thesis writing, I want them to be displayed in chronological order.  e.g.          {biblatex}     The human race has had a fast and accelerating growth in terms of technology and communication, in the past decade, [Turner, 2001; Allis   et al., 2007].   {bibliography}    But When the bibliography is displayed at the end of the document, I want them to be displayed in alphabetical order  e.g.    BIBLIOGRAPHY        Allis, C. D., Jenuwein, T., Reinberg, D., and Caparros, M. L. (2007). Epigenetics. Cold Spring Harbor Press   Turner, B. M. (2001). Chromatin and Gene Regulation – Mechanisms in Epigenetics. 2nd Edition, BlackWell Science Ltd.        How should this be achieved given than I use bib latex package? I have not pasted the code of my biblatex line, but I hope that some1 can help me sort this out as not many topics in this forum is handling it.

I'm using:  \documentclass[oneside,article,openbib,12pt,titlepage]{memoir} \usepackage[authoryear,round]{natbib} % Better bibliography support \bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}   in the preamble of my document and  \backmatter \renewcommand{\bibname}{References} \bibliographystyle{chicago}    \bibliography{listb,mybib}   in the body of the file. But a typical formatted reference is:     Freely, I. (1997).   A small paper.   The journal of small papers -1. to appear.   I've tried other non-natbib styles (e.g., regstud), and the reference flows and wraps as it should. So how does one get natbib to do the same?  Also, how does one get natbib to include the authors' entire first names?

A couple weeks ago I didn't have any issue when using Bibtex on a document where the different parts were included with \include commands, but today I updated Miktex, and now it seems not to work anymore. Now when I compile the main document I get an error message that says  I couldn't open auxiliary file section.aux ---line 3 of file test.aux : @input{section.aux : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command  Here's a minimal (non)working example : my main file &quot;test.tex&quot; is just \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[english]{babel} \begin{document} \include{section} \bibliography{reference} \bibliographystyle{plain} \end{document}  where the file &quot;section.tex&quot; is just \section{My section} I need to test the citations, so see \cite{A}.  and the file &quot;reference.bib&quot; just contains one reference. It works like a charm if I add the section directly or if I \input it, but with \include it just gives the error message as above. I tried with different editors (Texniccenter, Texmaker, Texstudio and Texworks) and it seemed to have the same issue each time. What is causing this problem ? P.S. I've looked at an old version of my document that used to work, and I've noticed a difference in the .aux files : the old version has, near the beginning, a line \bbl@cs{beforestart}  whereas in the newer versions it seems that this line has become \@nameuse{bbl@beforestart}  I'm not sure it's related or if it makes any sense, but I thought I'd add it in case it made a difference.

In my document I want to create a separate bibliography for each chapter. This works fine by using the chapterbib package. However, \bibentry does not work anymore in included files when invoking the chapterbib package. The MWE shows that the full cite is present in the main document, but does not show in the chapter.  \begin{filecontents}{mytestbib.bib} @Article{einstein1911,  author        = "Albert Einstein",  title         = "On The influence of gravitation on the propagation of light",  journal       = "Annalen Phys.",  volume        = "35",  pages         = "898-908",  year          = "1911"} \end{filecontents}  \begin{filecontents}{testchap.tex} \chapter{light} A full in-text cite of \bibentry{einstein1911}.\\ A regular citation: \citep{einstein1911}. \bibliographystyle{apalike} \bibliography{mytestbib} \end{filecontents}  \documentclass{scrbook} \usepackage{filecontents} \usepackage{natbib} \usepackage{bibentry} \usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib} \nobibliography*  \begin{document} A full in-text cite of \bibentry{einstein1911}.\\ A regular citation: \citep{einstein1911}.  \include{testchap}  \bibliographystyle{apalike} \bibliography{mytestbib} \end{document}

I am submitting an tex article to a journal, and they want they do not accept bib files. They also want only one source file:  1)A LaTeX submission should be a single .tex file; multiple-(.tex)-file submissions are not supported. 2)Uploading .bib files as Additional LaTeX file types is supported.  So this means I have to merge the bib and tex file into one, but I have no idea how to do this.  I looked at similar posts and people say use bbl. file and copy that into \bibliography... But I don't understand what this actually means.  Thanks!

I have a manuscript in which has the following structure:  Main Text Bibliography Appendix   However, there are citations which are only cited in the appendix, and they show up in the main bibliography. I would like to split my Bibliography into two different sections, so that the structure of the paper would look like this:  Main Text Bibliography for Main Text Appendix Bibliography for Appendix   I'm currently using bibtex and a single .bib file, and creating the bibliography with  \bibliographystyle {someBibStyleFile} \bibliography {bibFileName}   I'm interested in a method to split my single bibliography into main bibliography and appendix bibliography with minimal changes to the rest of the document.  I'm aware that biblatex is more powerful than bibtex, but I'm not prepared to make the switch before the deadline of this project. There are many related bibliography-with-multiple-sections type of questions, but I didn't see one that covers this case.
