[Tex/LaTex] Multiple bibiographies using biblatex, and resetting numbers

biblatexnumberingsubdividing

I am writing a sort of large CV, and I've split my publications into several blocks, using this:

\nocite{*}
\printbibheading[title={Publications}]
\printbibliography[nottype=online,heading=subbibliography,
title={Printed Sources},resetnumbers=true]
\printbibliography[type=online,heading=subbibliography,
title={Online Sources},resetnumbers=true]

which I mostly copied from the biblatex manual. However, the numbers aren't being reset as I want. The numbers in the Online Sources part, for example, go [13], [21], [29], [36] instead of [1], [2], [3], [4] as I'd like them to.

Probably there are options better suited to my purpose than resetnumbers, but I haven't found them yet. Basically I want each sub-bibliography to be numbered starting at [1], and increasing in increments of 1. Ideas or advice?

If you want to use the option resetnumbers=true when printing specific bibliographies, you have to define the option defernumbers=true globally.

This means that you have to load biblatex with the mentioned option, e.g.

\usepackage[defernumbers=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}

MWE just to test it

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[defernumbers=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}
\printbibheading[title={Publications}]
\printbibliography[nottype=online,heading=subbibliography,
title={Printed Sources},resetnumbers=true]
\printbibliography[type=online,heading=subbibliography,
title={Online Sources},resetnumbers=true]

\end{document}

Output with defernumbers=true

[Tex/LaTex] biblatex style with multiple bibliographies in one document

You did notice this question, didn't you? ;-)

\textcite output without initials: Remove the following code line in your example:

\DeclareNameAlias{labelname}{last-first}

Semicolon as delimiter between authors:

\renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addsemicolon\space}
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\addsemicolon\space}% also removes "and" before last author

Only the first five author listed in the bibliography:

\printbibliography[maxnames=5,minnames=5]

As for your own publications also included in the general bibliography: This is exactly what you told biblatex to do. Also, restarting the second bibliography with [1] is bound to cause confusion. Rather try the following (with the preable option defernumbers=true enabled):

\printbibliography[category=mypubs,title={Own Publications}]
\printbibliography[notcategory=mypubs,title={Other References}]

Different style for the second bibliography, plus different sorting: Right now, I don't know if this is possible.

[Tex/LaTex] sorting multiple bibliographies in biblatex

Use \nocite to "cite" the publications in the order you want.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[sorting=none]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@misc{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
}
@misc{C03,
  keywords = {pub},
  author = {Cuthor, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Charlie},
}
@misc{Z00,
  keywords = {pub},
  author = {Zuthor, Z.},
  year = {2000},
  title = {Zulu},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

Some text \autocite{B02,A01}.

\nocite{Z00,C03}

\printbibliography[title={Reference list},notkeyword=pub]

\printbibliography[title={List of publications},keyword=pub]

\end{document}
