[Tex/LaTex] Add external bibtex to beamer presentation

beamerbibtexpresentations

I would like to separate my bibliography from my slides. However, currently the onliest version that is working is to add the the citations directly to my main file.

Here is my example code:

\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation> {


\usetheme{Madrid}

}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Allows including images
\usepackage{booktabs} % Allows the use of \toprule, 


\title[Test]{Test } 

\author{} 
\institute[] 
{

}
\date{\today} 
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\titlepage % Print the title page as the first slide
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Overview} % Table of contents slide, comment this block out to remove it
\tableofcontents 
\end{frame}

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%   PRESENTATION SLIDES
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

%------------------------------------------------
\section{First Section} % Sections can be created in order to organize your presentation into discrete blocks, all sections and subsections are automatically printed in the table of contents as an overview of the talk
%------------------------------------------------

\subsection{Subsection Example} % A subsection can be created just before a set of slides with a common theme to further break down your presentation into chunks


\begin{frame}[fragile] % Need to use the fragile option when verbatim is used in the slide
\frametitle{Citation}
An example of the \verb|\cite| command to cite within the presentation:\\~

This statement requires citation \cite{p1}.~\cite{test1}
\end{frame}

%------------------------------------------------

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{References}
\footnotesize{
\begin{thebibliography}{99} % Beamer does not support BibTeX so references must be inserted manually as below
\bibitem[Smith, 2012]{p1} John Smith (2012)
\newblock Title of the publication
\newblock \emph{Journal Name} 12(3), 45 -- 678.
\end{thebibliography}
}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[t,allowframebreaks]
\frametitle{References}
\bibliography{bibfile.bib}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

My external bibtex file is called bibfile.bib and is in the same directory.

@article{test1,
title = {Commercial Banks as Creators of 'Money'},
author = {Tobin, James},
year = {1963},
institution = {Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University},
type = {Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers},
number = {159},
url = {http://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:cwl:cwldpp:159}
}

However, nothing gets shown on the last slide.

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

I appreciate your replies!

The following code worked for me. I removed the natbib package since it was causing problems. I also gave a bibliographystyle.

\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation> {


\usetheme{Madrid}

}
%\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Allows including images
\usepackage{booktabs} % Allows the use of \toprule, 


\title[Test]{Test } 

\author{} 
\institute[] 
{

}
\date{\today} 
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\titlepage % Print the title page as the first slide
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Overview} % Table of contents slide, comment this block out to remove it
\tableofcontents 
\end{frame}

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%   PRESENTATION SLIDES
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

%------------------------------------------------
\section{First Section} % Sections can be created in order to organize your presentation into discrete blocks, all sections and subsections are automatically printed in the table of contents as an overview of the talk
%------------------------------------------------

\subsection{Subsection Example} % A subsection can be created just before a set of slides with a common theme to further break down your presentation into chunks


\begin{frame}[fragile] % Need to use the fragile option when verbatim is used in the slide
\frametitle{Citation}
An example of the \verb|\cite| command to cite within the presentation:\\~

This statement requires citation \cite{p1}.~\cite{test1} 
\end{frame}

%------------------------------------------------

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{References}
\footnotesize{
\begin{thebibliography}{99} % Beamer does not support BibTeX so references must be nserted manually as below
\bibitem[Smith, 2012]{p1} John Smith (2012)
\newblock Title of the publication
\newblock \emph{Journal Name} 12(3), 45 -- 678.
\end{thebibliography}
}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[t, allowframebreaks]
\frametitle{References}
\bibliographystyle{amsalpha}
\bibliography{bibfile}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Citation is done right.

The resulting references frame looks like this

Yes, you can use Bibtex with Beamer.

I guess something along these lines might work reasonably well:

Prepare your Beamer slides as usual, using Bibtex. (You can hide the Bibtex-generated bibliography if you don't need it.)
Prepare another Latex document (using e.g. the article class), in which you \input your Bibtex-generated *.bbl file.

[Tex/LaTex] Create a list of beamer slides

Howdy this is my solution:

   \documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{etextools}
\makeatletter
%Here comes the Framelist
%
\newcommand{\printframelist}{ }
\newcommand{\@savefrml}{ }
\newcommand{\frameliston}{%
\let\oldframetitle\frametitle
\newcommand{\tgframelistfronthook}{$\cdot$}
\newcommand{\tgframelistbackhook}{\\ }
\newcommand\myaddto[1]{%
  \write\@auxout{\noexpand\@writefile{frml}{\noexpand ##1}}}
  \renewcommand{\printframelist}{\@starttoc{frml}}
\renewcommand{\frametitle}[1]{\oldframetitle{##1}%
\xifstrequal{##1}{\@savefrml}{}{
\myaddto{ \noexpand%
\tgframelistfronthook ##1 \noexpand\tgframelistbackhook}%
}
\global\def\@savefrml{##1}%
}
}


\makeatother
\frameliston
\begin{document}
\frame{\frametitle{FIRST}}
\frame{\frametitle{Second}}
\frame{\frametitle{Third}}
\begin{frame}
\printframelist
\end{frame}
% The following should turn the framlist off for one slide when\anotherft is used  
\let\anotherft\oldframetitle
\frame{\anotherft{FIRST A}}
\frame{\frametitle{Second A}}
\frame{\frametitle{Third A}}
\end{document}

This uses the very basic LaTeX mechanism on creating external files (like toc). extetools are used to compare strings and decide to print or not to print the title (for overlays). See in bitbucket.org/tobig/hohenheimbeamertheme/

Redefine \tgframelistbackhookand \tgframelistfronthook as you please.

EDIT: What you are showing in your example given above is that you put the whole columns stuff into the frametitle. And it breaks. Remember the frame environment is defined as

    \begin{frame}<⟨overlay specification⟩>[<⟨default overlay specification⟩>][⟨options⟩]{⟨title⟩}{⟨subtitle⟩}
 ⟨environment contents⟩
    \end{frame}

(see beamer documentation)

The first brakets after \begin{frame} will be interpreted as the title. This will work:

\begin{frame}
    \Huge
        \vspace {0.35\textwidth}
% Don't remove
        \begin{columns}
            \begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
            \end{column}
% Don't remove
            \begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
                    \textbf{Thanks!}
            \end{column}
% Don't remove
            \begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
            \end{column}
        \end{columns}
\end{frame}
