[Tex/LaTex] How to get a Reference section and a Bibliography

natbibsubdividing

I am currently using a custom class (mqthesis.cls) to author my thesis. It works very well but it only gives a references section and I want to have a references section (with only the actually cited entries) as well as a bibliography (with all background reading listed).

I know I can use \nocite{*}to make it so that the reference section actually includes my full bibliography but this only gives me a hybrid single section that contains my bibliography and citation links. I need two sections.

I can include the \bibliography action twice but that just gets me two duplicate sections (both called 'references' as the .cls file stipulates).

How do I get two distinct sections? Is it by editing the .cls, the .tex or both?

Edit: I am using natbib package currently.

Here is a try with multibib. This works with natbib.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[numbers,square,sort]{natbib}
%%------------------------------------------------------------------
%% bibliography with mutiple entries
\usepackage[resetlabels]{multibib}
%%------------------------------------------------------------------
\newcites{biblio}{Bibliography}
%%------------------------------------------------------------------
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{one.bib}
@Article{oneart,
  author =   {Author, O.},
  title =    {Title One},
  journal =  {One J.},
  year =     2010
}
@Article{twoart,
  author =   {Author, M.},
  title =    {Title Two},
  journal =  {Two J.},
  year =     2014
}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{document}
%%------------------------------------------------------------------
\citep{oneart}
\nocitebiblio{twoart}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{one}
%%------------------------------------------------------------------
%%\renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography}   %% you may need this
\bibliographystylebiblio{plainnat}
\bibliographybiblio{one}
%%------------------------------------------------------------------
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] biblatex: separating publications of a specific author in the bibliography

If you want to do this using biber, I'd recommend using the sourcemap feature, it's cleaner than adding a category via an index format. This alters the input stream (without altering the .bib file) so that the keyword "knuth" is added to all works with matching "Knuth" as the author, which you can then filter on:

\DeclareSourcemap{
  \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
    \map{
      \step[fieldsource=author,
            match=Knuth,
            final]
      \step[fieldset=keywords, fieldvalue=knuth]
    }
  }
}

\printbibliography[keyword=knuth]
\printbibliography[notkeyword=knuth]

[Tex/LaTex] Formatting multiple references containing the same author

Note that the formatting of the bibliographic entries in the References section isn't actually governed by natbib; natbib is mainly a citation management system that can handle various numeric and authoryear citation styles. The formatting of the bib entries -- including the replacement of a repeated author (or authors) by a long dash -- is determined by the bibliography style you specify.

You mention in the first paragraph of your question that you use a custom bibliography style. However, in the MWE you state that you use the bibliography style plainnat. The following code assumes you're working with plainnat and shows how the file plainnat.bst may be modified to achieve your typesetting objectives. Hopefully, the bibliography style you're actually working with isn't too different from plainnat.

Start by creating a copy of plainnat.bst; save the copy as, say, myplainnat.bst. (Never edit the original files.)
Open the file myplainnat.bst with your favorite text editor.
Locate the function article. (This function starts on lin 699 in my copy of plainnat.) Immediately before this function, insert the following lines of code:
```
STRINGS {oldname}

FUNCTION {name.or.dash}
{ 's :=
   oldname empty$
     { s 'oldname := s }
     { s oldname =
         { "---{}---{}---" }
         { s 'oldname := s }
        if$
     }
   if$
}
```
You didn't specify how long the dashes that replace the author's name (or authors' names) should be. In the code above, I use three consecutive em-dashes. Feel free to change this setup to suit your typographic needs and preferences.
Next, locate each of the ten [10!] instances of the following line of code in myplainnat.bst:
```
  author format.key output
```
and insert the instruction
```
  name.or.dash
```
on a line by itself immediately following each of the author format.key output lines.

Locate the two instances of the following five lines of code, in the functions book and inbook:

{ format.editors "author and editor" output.check
   editor format.key output
}
{ format.authors output.nonnull
  crossref missing$

and replace them with

{ format.editors "author and editor" output.check
  editor format.key output
  name.or.dash
 }
{ format.authors output.nonnull
  name.or.dash
  crossref missing$

I.e., insert the instruction name.or.dash as indicated in each of two instances.

In the function proceedings, locate the line
```
editor format.key output
```
and insert the line
```
name.or.dash
```
immediately following that line.

If you've made all of these edits, you should have sixteen [16] instances of the string "name.or.dash" in your .bst file.
Save the file myplainnat.bst either in the directory that contains your main .tex file or in a directory that's in the search path of your TeX distribution.
Be sure to use the instruction \bibliographystyle{myplainnat} from now on.

Happy TeXing!
