[Tex/LaTex] Cite multiple references with Bibtex?

bibtexciting

So I use bibtex and I have set my \bibliographystyle to be unsrt. I want Latex to render something like this:

ref [1]-[5] support this claim.

but if i write:

\cite{x1} - \cite{x5} blah blah

citation items 2, 3 and 4 are not gonna be listed in the bibliography list in the end, whereas I want them to be present. How can I do it?

Best Answer

You should include all the references in the \cite command for them to appear in the Bibliography chapter:

\cite{citation01,citation02,citation03,citation04,citation05}

Don't forget to include:

\usepackage{cite}

in the preamble. The output should be something like:

Refs [1-5] support this claim.

[Tex/LaTex] Citations with no date, e.g. (Aristotle n.d.)

The function calc.label in apalike.bst is responsible of this: it strips away all non alphanumeric characters and keeps the last up to four characters remaining.

If you copy apalike.bst to myapalike.bst and change the function defined in lines 896-912 to become

FUNCTION {calc.label}
{ type$ "book" =
  type$ "inbook" =
  or
    'author.editor.key.label
    { type$ "proceedings" =
        'editor.key.label                       % apalike ignores organization
        'author.key.label                       % for labeling and sorting
      if$
    }
  if$
  ", "                                                  % these three lines are
  *                                                     % for apalike, which
  year field.or.null #-1 #4 substring$          % uses all four digits
  *
  'label :=
}

then \bibliographystyle{myapalike} will accept year={n.d.} as you wish: it consists of four characters, after all!

The change consists simply in removing the string purify$. I can't say if this may have adverse effects on other entries; but, as long as you have only years or n.d., all should go well.

[Tex/LaTex] BibTex and \includeonly command

If you compile your full document (no \includeonly) and ensure that all the cross references are OK, then you can reistate the \includeonly and LaTeX will load also the .aux files corresponding to the not included files.
