[Tex/LaTex] References before appendix

appendicesbibliographies

My (BiBTeX) references need to appear before my appendix, but my appendix contains new references. These references are flagged as undefined unless my bibliography appears AFTER the appendix. Is there a way to fix this?

Best Answer

This kind of behaviour is usually fixed by compiling your document more than once.

Every time you compile your document latex reads and writes information to a few different files: \jobname.aux, \jobname.toc, etc. When you use biblatex you run bibtex, or biber, etc to update the bibliography auxiliary files. Once these files are updated, you re-compile the original document which will be able to read the updated reference & citation information.

In my master document I have (in TeXnicCenter):

\appendix
\input{Appendix1}
\newpage
\input{Appendix2}

etc. And in my Appendix documents (I am using article class):

\section{Name of the Appendix}
\label{sec:Appendix1}

And then it appears as Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. in the document and in the TOC.

[Tex/LaTex] Add “Appendix” before “A” for Appendix A in thesis TOC

Add the following to your preamble:

\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\backmatter{
    \def\chaptermark##1{\markboth{%
        \ifnum  \c@secnumdepth > \m@ne  \@chapapp\ \thechapter:  \fi  ##1}{%
        \ifnum  \c@secnumdepth > \m@ne  \@chapapp\ \thechapter:  \fi  ##1}}%
    \def\sectionmark##1{\relax}}
\makeatother

The appendix package adds some extra functionality for dealing with appendices. This extra functionality (including the one you need) is accessed by using the \appendices environment instead of the \appendix command. So changing your thesis class \backmatter command to remove the \appendix command, along the with [titletoc] option of the package (which appends the appendix name to the letter in the TOC) should solve your problem.

Now in your actual thesis tex file you should do the following:

\backmatter
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{An appendix}
...
\end{appendices}
\bibliography{}
