[Tex/LaTex] sectionbib option for natbib doesn’t work with scrreprt

koma-scriptnatbibsectioning

The natbib package has an option sectionbib, that causes the bibliography to be typeset as an unnumbered section, as opposed to the default unnumbered chapter. However, when using the scrreprt class, this option has no effect, so the bibliography is typeset as a chapter.

I will normally use BibTeX, but to make it easier, here is an example with the standard bibliography environment — the result is, as far as I can see, the same:

\documentclass{scrreprt}  
\usepackage[sectionbib]{natbib}
\setcitestyle{numbers,square}
\begin{document}  
\chapter{A chap}  
Some text.  \citep{lamport94}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}  

\bibitem[Lamport (1994)]{lamport94}  
  Leslie Lamport,  
  \emph{\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System}.  
  Addison Wesley, Massachusetts,  
  2nd Edition,  
  1994.  

\end{thebibliography}  
\end{document}

The reason for wanting the bibliography typeset as a section, is that I want to have a separate bibliography for each chapter (using the chapterbib package), and then I'd rather have the bibliography as a section. This is for a report written by several persons, each person writing his/hers chapter.

I'm aware that it works fine with the standard report class, but is there a way to make it work with the KOMA-script report class?

Thank you for your time.

P.S My internet connection is a little shaky at the moment, so please forgive me if I'm late in replying.

Put the thebibliography environment inside a group and do some hacking:

\begingroup
\let\chapter\section
\begin{thebibliography}{9}  
...
\end{thebibliography}  
\endgroup
