[Tex/LaTex] Sectionbib, natbib and separate bibliographies

natbib

I want a bibliography after each chapter in my thesis.
Therefore I first used:

\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}
\usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib}

But I got some errors (like: reference x on page n undefined). In the natbib package description I have read that both cannot be used, but that the sectionbib option can be used in combination with the natbib package.

So now I have:

\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress, sectionbib]{natbib}

This works fine (also by making the bibliography a section in the chapter, which I love). But now I have the complete list of references after each chapter, although each chapter has its own bib file.

My MWE

\documentclass[twoside,openright,numbers=endperiod,titlepage,headinclude,
                footinclude=false,cleardoublepage=empty,abstractoff,
                BCOR=5mm,b5paper,fontsize=11pt, american,
                ]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress, sectionbib]{natbib}

\begin{document}
\include{Chapters/Literature}
\end{document}

and for the chapters:

balaleafelj~\cite{1}.

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
{\footnotesize 
\bibliography{Chapters/outlookref}}

Best Answer

The sectionbib of natbib replaces the sectionbib option of chapterbib, but not the entire package.

To get a bibliography after every chapter, you still have to load chapterbib too:

\documentclass[twoside,openright,numbers=endperiod,titlepage,headinclude,
                footinclude=false,cleardoublepage=empty,abstractoff,
                BCOR=5mm,b5paper,fontsize=11pt, american,
                ]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}
\usepackage{chapterbib}

\begin{document}
\include{Chapters/Literature}
\end{document}

You do not need the sectionbib option because it is incompatible with scrreprt. A workaround can be found at sectionbib option for natbib doesn't work with scrreprt: Change your chapters to

balaleafelj~\cite{1}.

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
{\footnotesize \let\chapter\section
\bibliography{Chapters/outlookref}}

Remember that with chapterbib, you have to run bibtex for every chapter.
