I'm working on my thesis and I have some troubles with Bibtex. First, the error message:

I have been reading a lot of entries of this forum with the same problem but the posted solutions doesn't works for me.

What am I doing wrong? What's the problem?

The fields that the error message says that are empty, in fact, aren't empty. I really appreciate any help you can provide me.

UPDATE

After the comments to my post, I have solved the error message with BibTeX, but now, appears another error message:

Because you gave us no tex code building the bibliography I just used my standard bibtex test file for your bibliography.

The reason for your errors are some missing commas at the ending of some lines in your bib file.

If possible change the writing of the authors to familyname, name and familyname2, name2 name2 and familyname3, n3.

BTW: I used package filecontents here only to have corrected bib file and tex code concatenated to one compiling MWE. You need not to use package filecontents!
