[Tex/LaTex] Question marks instead of citations when using \include

bibliographiesnatbib

I have been struggling a lot with this problem now. Hopefully somebody can help me.
I want to create a document with chapterwise bibliography, so I use \usepackage{chapterbib} together with \usepackage[sectionbib]{natbib}:

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{chapterbib}
\usepackage[sectionbib]{natbib}

\begin{document}

\include{chapter1}

\end{document}

where the file chapter1.tex (in the same folder) is

\chapter{Chapter 1}
this is chapter 1~\cite{Article1}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{references}

and the file references.bib (also in the same folder) reads

@article{Article1,
    author = {Author1},
    journal = {J. Art.},
    pages = {1906--1911},
    title = {{This is the first article}},
    volume = {12},
    number = {3},
    year = {2012}
}

While the second citation (Article2) is displayed as expected, there is a question mark where the first citation should be: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhtuz9nw0otuw6i/Include.pdf?dl=0

What am I doing wrong?

You should use \include with all the chapters and run bibtex separately on each chapter to generate the separate bibliographies, one for each chapter.

To cite the documentation of chapterbib:

To have a cohesive bibliography for the whole document, plus individual bibs in the chapters, put \bibliography commands in the included chapters plus in the root file; use \usepackage[rootbib]{chapterbib}; run LaTeX; run BibTeX on the root file; change to \usepackage{chapterbib}; run LaTeX; run BibTeX on each included file; run LaTeX; run LaTeX. This produces an independent 'overall' bibliography which only makes sense for various 'named' bibliography styles; a style with numbering will give unrelated numbers in each bibliography. Actually, you probably don't need to ever run with [rootbib] because, although bibTeX should complain about multiple \bibdata commands, it should produce all the right bbl files -- but the root \bibliographystyle must come first in the document.

The manual says:

1 Normal use: Put \bibliographystyle and \bibliography commands in each \included file. Run LATEX; run BibTEX on each included file; run LATEX; run LATEX.

So you should do something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\usepackage[sectionbib]{natbib}
\usepackage{chapterbib}

\begin{filecontents*}{article_I_text.tex}
 literature \cite{testref}.
 \bibliographystyle{plain}
 \bibliography{references}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{filecontents*}{references.bib}
 @article{testref,
  title={testarticle}}
 }
\end{filecontents*}


\begin{document}

\include{article_I_text}
\end{document}
