I am writing an essay using bibliography generated by biblatex. My MWE is as follows:  \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[backend=biber, citestyle=authortitle, style=apa]{biblatex} \bibliography{Biblio2}  \begin{document}  Sample text\footcite{4Dintro, 4Dsee, MultiDimension}.  \printbibliography \end{document}   But when running biblatex using the style=apa option, it returns the following error:  !

biblatex-apa gives me this:  ! Undefined control sequence. &lt;argument&gt; \mkbibdateapalongextra                                {labelyear}{labelmonth}{labelday}\iffieldu...   I'm using the default (english) language, and have done the:  \DeclareLanguageMapping{norsk}{norsk-apa} \DeclareLanguageMapping{english}{american-apa}   thing.   Here's a short example:  \documentclass[english]{memoir} \usepackage{babel} \usepackage{roffe} \usepackage[backend=biber,date=short,maxcitenames=2,style=apa]{biblatex}  \DeclareLanguageMapping{norsk}{norsk-apa} \DeclareLanguageMapping{english}{american-apa} \addbibresource{Papers2.bib} \addbibresource{R.bib}  \begin{document} \cite{R-base}  \printbibliography \end{document}   This one replicates the problem.

First of all I would like to thank you because you helped me out a lot with all your answers to the already online questions.  Now, here is my problem. I am trying to do a bibliography file with TeXworks but I get this error when I try to compile (pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+bibTeX):      This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)     entering extended mode     ****PATH here******     ! Undefined control sequence.     l.1 \documentclass         [a4paper,11pt]{report}   I've been reading some similar questions but I don't find the way to fix it (maybe I am missing something). I found one that says that I am trying to compile a LaTeX file using TeX compiler but I don't know how to change the configuration.  This is the .bib fiel content:      \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}     \usepackage[english]{babel}     % faire de l'anglais     \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}   % accents dans le source     \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}        % accents dans le DVI     \usepackage{url}     \begin{document}      @Article{ref11, author={Danihelka, Jiri and Kencl, Lukas}, journal={Cloud Futures Workshop 2012 }, title={Colaborative 3D Environments over Windows Azure}, year={2012}, month={May}, pages={}, note={}     }      @book{ref12, author = {Lee, Henry and Chuvyrov, Eugene},     title = {Beginning Windows Phone 7 Development},     publisher = {Apress},     volume = {},     number = {},     series = {},     address = {},     edition = {Second edition},     year = {2011},     month = {July},     note = {}     }      @Article{ref13, author={}, journal={}, title={Cloud computing}, year={}, month={}, pages={}, url={\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing}}     }      \end{document}

As in  I'm trying to use apa6e and biblatex-apa together and having problems.  Before I arrived at these problems, over the course of many hours of much reading, I first managed to get BibTeX working as expected in a simple input file (by modifying sample2e.tex). Then I managed to get apa6e working as expected based on the author's example in apa6e.pdf (which uses apacite). But when I try to get apa6e working with biblatex-apa, I end up with problems.  Here's my input file:  \documentclass{apa6e}  \usepackage[american]{babel} \usepackage{csquotes}  % biblatex \usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex} \bibliography{biblatex-apa-test-references}  \title{An Example Document} \shorttitle{Psychology: the end} \author{Silly Name}  \authornote{\dots} \abstract{\dots}  \begin{document}  \maketitle  This is an example input\cite{7.01:2} file.  Comparing it with the output it generates can show you\cite{7.01:3a} how to produce a simple document of your own.  \printbibliography  \end{document}   Attempting to typeset this in TeXShop by running LaTeX, then BiBTeX (which based on console messages, does seem to correctly call biblatex rather than BiBTeX), then LaTeX again, I get the following error message which I am having great difficulty (no doubt due to my lack of experience with TeX and co.) decoding.

I'm impressed that the poster above was able to do anything with apa6e and biblatex-apa, and if I only had her problem of having the reference page title show up in bold, I'd be really happy.  If you need to know, my tools are from a fresh installation of MacTeX that I immediately updated using the TeX Live Utility. I've checked my versions for apa6e (v0.3) and biblatex-apa (v4.2), and I think these are current.

My problem is this: I use one biblatex-file as a source for a number of documents. In the biblatex-file I used shorthand in every entry. The problem is that in some documents I need to cite the references fully rather than the short form. My question: Is there something a command that I could add to my preamble in order to suppress the shorthand entry and to get full title output?

I am having this problem with elsarticle. When I compile the file the doi does not appear in the bibliography entries.   \documentclass[review, authoryear]{elsarticle} \usepackage{etex} \usepackage{lineno, hyperref, chngcntr, array, booktabs, enumitem, multirow, tabu, subcaption, nicefrac} \usepackage{amsfonts, amsmath, amsthm, amssymb, cleveref, thmtools, thm-restate, lmodern, natbib} \usepackage{wrapfig, graphicx, framed, ragged2e, mathtools, epsfig, adjustbox, parskip, doi} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  \begin{filecontents}{mybib.bib} @article{Be05, author  = "Fernando Bernstein and Awi Federgruen", title   = "Decentralized Supply Chains with Competing Retailers Under Demand Uncertainty", journal = "Management Science", volume  = "51", number  = "1", pages   = "18--29", year    =  "2005", doi     = "10.1287/mnsc.1040.0218" } \end{filecontents}  \begin{document} \begin{frontmatter}\title{Some Title}\end{frontmatter} \cite{Be05} \section*{References} \bibliographystyle{elsarticle-harv} \bibliography{mybib} \end{document}   I compile it with TexWorks using the option pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTex or the option PdfLaTeX/ then bibtex/ then 2 times PdfLaTeX. Everything else works as it should. The problem appears when I use the option  authoryear   If I ommit it it works fine, but then the citations are numbered (as they should) which is not what I want.  Can anyone please explain to me what is wrong with my code and fix this. Thanks.

I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the right way to express my question:  I'm using the excellent biblatex package with the author-year style and want the links in my citations to include the name of the author as well as the parentheses. The answer presented at  did exactly what I wanted but it seems the solution is broken with the newest biblatex version 1.4b. Can anyone help me by adapting the code to the newest biblatex version?

I can't seem to get the reference within my {refsection}.  \documentclass[a4paper]{article}  \newcommand{\myparagraph}[1]{\paragraph{#1}\mbox{}\\}  \usepackage[     backend=bibtex,     isbn=false,     url=false,     doi=false,     eprint=false, ]{biblatex}  %Point to the bibliography db \addbibresource{mybib.bib}  \begin{document}  \include{myparagraph}  \end{document}   My paragraph file  \myparagraph{\fullcite{dante1320}} \begin{refsection}  \cite{manzoni1827}  \printbibliography[heading=subbibliography] \end{refsection}   I get the first citation (dante1320) right, but the second prints as [manzoni1827]. I don't get any error when I run Bibtex concerning the missing reference. But I got it when I run Latex: LaTeX Warning: Citation 'manzoni1827' on page 2 undefined on input line 5.

This question is about author-year citations using biblatex where citations are set inline in parentheses.  Sometimes, it is necessary to cite two authors and to specify some connection between them using a 'joining word'. [Is there a technical term for this?]  For example:     Marvin 2009, citing Arthur 2007   or:     Marvin 1333, interpreting Dent 1245   More specifically, I want this typeset as an in-text citation in parentheses:     (Marvin 2009, citing Arthur 2007)   or:     (Marvin 1333, interpreting Dent 1245)   I cannot figure out how to do this at all, or at all elegantly, using biblatex. The closest I've come is    a version which uses a semicolon rather than a comma; a long-winded hack which fails if one of the entries has no author.     \documentclass{article} \usepackage[citestyle=authoryear-comp,bibstyle=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex} \addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}  \begin{document}    Desired output is (CTAN 2006, interpreting Gillies 1933).    The following are almost correct except that they use the default delimiter (of course) so I have a semicolon rather than a comma: \autocites{ctan}[interpreting][]{gillies} or \parencites{ctan}[interpreting][]{gillies}.    The following is a bit long-winded. Worse, it fails if an entry does not actually have an author: \parentext{\citeauthor{ctan} \citeyear{ctan}, interpreting \citeauthor{gillies} \citeyear{gillies}}.  \end{document}   Note that redefining the delimiter between citations from a semicolon to a comma is not a good solution as the semicolon is correct for almost all occurrences of multiple citations (all bar 2 in my paper). Only when there is a special 'joining word' do I want the comma instead.  I'm wondering if I need to define a new citation command. That's fine but I'd like to know that I'm not missing something before I reinvent the wheel and end up with a lop-sided parallelogram instead of the roundish circle I could more easily have used.  It seems surprising if there is no straightforward way to do this as it seems like a fairly common thing to want to do. Hence, I suspect I'm missing some obvious solution and just can't find it.  What is the most elegant way to arrange such citations?

I see in some examples each field in a BibTeX entry is given within "", while in others it is given within {}. For example,  @Book{Torre2008,  author    = "Joe Torre and Tom Verducci",  publisher = "Doubleday",  title     = "The Yankee Years",  year      =  2008,  isbn      = "0385527403" }  @PROCEEDINGS {conference:06,  editor    = {First Editor and Second Editor},  title     = {Proceedings of the Xth Conference on XYZ},  booktitle = {Proceedings of the Xth Conference on XYZ},  year      = {2006},  month     = oct, }   What are the differences between the two? Which one should I use?

I am a LaTeX really entusiastic newbie. Thus I am writing all my reports and articles using this wonderful tool. Unfortunately the editors of scientific review do not all have the same entusiasm concerning LaTeX. I plan to submit my future paper in the ICES Journal of Science which (fortunately or not) has a kind of LaTeX template available online () and guidelines available here ().   My main problem is concerning bibliography. In all my writing I use biblatex with in the preamble:  \usepackage[style=authoryear, firstinits=true, uniquename=false, uniquelist=false, maxcitenames=2, maxbibnames=7, backend=biber]{biblatex}.   In the text I call citation using \autocite, \textcite, \citeauthor and \citeyear.   As requested by the journal I tried to convert my bibliography into a \bibitem list. I went to check the .bbl file as advised online but the structure seemed really complicated and nowhere \bibitem was mentionned. I found online some method that I managed to make work in my case by creating a dummy .tex file:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \nocite{*} sdryfj \bibliography{BIB.testbib.bib} \bibliographystyle{plain} \cite{NumR} \end{document}   I run some compilation and got a .bbl file with \bibitems list. I thought I was seeing the end of it and paste this list in thebibliography environment at the end of my document.   Unfortunately all my citations references (\autocite etc..) seems to not be compatible with this different way of bibliography input. In addition, all the references are printed cited or not....  I was wondering if there is a way to reach the same results directly from biber biblatex so I would not have to modify my document too much...  Thank you for your help,  Xochitl C.  PS: I also tried to redefine commands like this but it did not work:  \renewcommand{\autocite}{\cite}  \renewcommand{\citeauthor}{\cite}  \renewcommand{\citeyear}{\cite}  \renewcommand{\textcite}{\cite}

for my seminar paper, I have to quote a scientific paper. This is the corresponding .bib entry:  @article{hochreiter1991untersuchungen,   title={Untersuchungen zu dynamischen neuronalen Netzen},   author={Sepp Hochreiter},   journal={Diploma, Technische Universit{\"a}t M{\"u}nchen},   volume={91},   number={1},   year={1991} }   In my bibliography, however, the scientific paper appears as follows     — . 1991. „Untersuchungen zu dynamischen neuronalen Netzen“. Diploma,   Technische Universität München 91 (1).   The problem is that the author is replaced by a dash. Does anyone know where the error in my bibtext is?

I'm using biblatex 1.4b, and Biber 0.9. However, I think the problem is with my settings, not with the versions of those programs.  I'm trying to cite a single author, and produce their name, followed by the dates of two papers, using the authoryear-ibid style, and natbib compatability. Here's my biblatex preamble:  \usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}   What I want is for the following command: The works by \citet{Blau81, Blau88} ... to produce: The works by Blau (1981; 1988) ... however, what I'm getting is: The works by Blau (1981); Blau (1988)...  I know that biblatex knows they're the same author, since in the bibliography they fall under the same name (i.e. after the first instance of the name, there's just a dash instead of the name)  What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried it with the commands \cite and \cites, and neither produces what I want.   (crossposted with comp.text.tex)

I am using the natbib and hyperref packages:  \usepackage{natbib}  \usepackage[pagebackref=true, plainpages=false, bookmarks, bookmarksnumbered, colorlinks, linktocpage=true, linkcolor=blue, citecolor=blue, filecolor=black, urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}   With my current settings (above) both the name and the year are hyperlinked.  My question is, whether there is a way to hyperlink (or color) only the year-not the author(s).   I have the impression reading this post  that biblatex does it by default. However changing to biblatex is not an option for me at this point.  Any helpful comments will be greatly appreciated.

In the biblatex doc, it says ( Version 1.7, p.11):     thesis      A thesis written for an educational institution to satisfy the   requirements for a degree. Use the type field to specify the type of   thesis.      Required fields: author, title, type, institution, year/date      Optional fields: subtitle, titleaddon, language, note, location,   month, isbn, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi,   eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate   I would like to know if there is any "canonical" way to add the name of the supervisor(s) in a field of the .bib file (no .bbl manipulation please, I want my bibliography to be usable "as it" in several documents).  The expect result could be something like  :     Meand Myself. “A brilliant result, explained”. PhD thesis**, under the   joint supervision of Pr. Toto and Pr. Tata**. Université Paris 24,   Nov. 2013.   The "under the (joint) supervision" could be a string that would be declined in four ways:   under the supervision of  under the joint supervision of and the abridged forms

I have searched the tutorials but have not been successful in understand them. The tutorials always mensionam concepts that I do not know. I would like to understand the basics of BibTeX.  By basics I mean:   How do I install BiBTeX? How to build a file in bib? For this question assume that I already have the bibtex format each reference provided by databases like MathSciNet. See observation 1 below. What I write commands in the file format. Tex to call call the format file bib? How to exploit the format of the bibliography that comes out in PDF? The commands are made in the preamble of the file. Arquifo bib or format. Tex? What must be the BiBTeX with biblatex? Is there any tutorial (in pdf or video) that teaches step by step how to operate BiBTeX?

How do I allow long URLs to have line breaks at any point. This is in the bibliography not the main text. I am trying to save space so don't want extra spaces to be added to make it only break at slashes, for example, as it does by default.  I am using biblatex+biber.
