I am writing a report in Latex, and I have the references in a separate bib file and I reference them in my main document as \cite{xxx}
.
I am using Texworks on Windows. After compiling the bib to generate a bbl, when I compile the tex file with: "pdflatex + MakeIndex + BibTex", I am able to see the pdf the report, but I do not see the Bibilography section at the end and do not see references to the bibliography, not even question marks instead of the proper references to the bibliography.
I include the bibliography by typing
\bibliography{plain}
and
\bibliography{"C:/Users/BibName"}
at the end of the tex file
I then tried pdflatex + bibtex + pdflatex + pdflatex. When I tried that, the 'References' section shows up at the end, but I do not see the references, such as
1. Reinhard, D.A. Case Study
I also do not see the citation in the paper
Here is the MWE:
The tex is:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Alpha particles \cite{example} (named after and denoted by the first letter in the
Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound
together.
This means that an particle is a helium nucleus.
\bibliography{plain}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{BibName}
\end{document}
The bib is:
@article{example,
author = {Knuth, Donald E.},
year = {1986},
title = {The \TeX book},
}
What am I doing wrong?
Best Answer
\bibliography{<file>}
denotes the name of the<file>.bib
that contains your BibTeX references, while\bibliographystyle{<bibstyle>}
denotes the style you want your references displayed in. You clearly want one\bibliography
only:
