[Tex/LaTex] TeXShop, BibDesk, URLs not shown and extra citation numbers

back-referencingbibdesktexshop

I am using TeXShop and BibDesk on Mac and even though I add "webpage" entries to BibDesk, they don't show up in TeXShop. added entry

fail

Also, I get these extra citation numbers at the end of my document:
why

when I don't have anything after the references.

enter image description here

What is wrong? I have the correct packages, I think:

enter image description here

EDIT: I was able to get rid of the extra reference numbers by adding a \nocite{*} and deleting the references.

FME:

\documentclass{llncs}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{PANs}

\end{document}

and in the PANs.bib file, I have

@article{nfcforum,
    Author = {NFC Forum},
    Date-Added = {2014-05-05 12:12:03 +0000},
    Date-Modified = {2014-05-05 13:39:56 +0000},

    Url = {http://nfc-forum.org/what-is-nfc/},

As can be seen in ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/splncs.bst, splncs does not provide support for a url key, so it is silently ignored.

You may want to add the URL in a note field (using \url{URL}, remember to load the url package).

The question mark usually indicates an unresolved reference. I suppose you added the bibtex database to your document like this:

Select "Insert" --> "List / TOC" --> "BibTex Bibliography..." from the menu

enter image description here

In the dialogue box click on "Add..."

enter image description here

Click "Browse..."

enter image description here

Select the file you want (in this case: test.bib)

Now, don't forget to confirm the dialogue boxes. Click on the highlighted buttons.

enter image description here

Select your style (natdin) and confirm.

enter image description here

Now you can use the "Send selection to LyX" feature in BibDesk.

    Abstract = {[ENGLISH] The present article is a contribution to the development of metrological structural realism (MSR). This position of philosophy of science goes back to Matthias Neuber, who introduces it as a third variation of the main structural realisms: epistemic structural realism (ESR) and ontic structural realism (OSR). Here, Neuber attempts to tackle the problems of OSR and ESR while preserving their respective strengths. Of central importance to his approach, are the concepts of invariance, structure and, especially, measurement. Starting from Eino Kaila\textquoteright{}s \quotedblbase{}non-linguistic, realist account of logical empricism\textquotedblleft, the present article investigates the necessity of yet another position of structural realism. The established structural realisms are examined for their strengths and weaknesses. Afterwards, the requirements on MSR are formulated in a way that extends beyond Neuber\textquoteright{}s account. These requirements are of ontological, epistemological and metrological nature. Finally, a short outlook on the role of the present physical theories -- especially quantum mechanics -- for the formulation of MSR as a full-grown theory of philosophy of science is presented.

                [DEUTSCH] Der vorliegende Aufsatz ist ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung des Metrologischen Strukturenrealismus (MSR). Diese Wissenschaftstheoretische Position geht auf Matthias Neuber zur\"u{}ck, der sie als dritte Spielart zwischen den gro\ss{}en Strukturenrealismen -- dem Epistemischen Strukturenrealismus (ESR) und dem Ontischen Strukturenrealismus (OSR) -- ansiedelt. Neuber versucht, die wissenschaftstheoretischen Probleme von ESR und OSR anzugehen, gleichzeitig aber ihre jeweiligen St\"a{}rken beizubehalten. Dabei sind die Konzepte der Invarianz, der Struktur und besonders der Messung von zentraler Bedeutung. Ausgehend von Eino Kailas \quotedblbase{}non-linguistic, realist account of logical empiricism\textquotedblleft untersucht der vorliegende Aufsatz die Notwendigkeit einer weiteren strukturenrealistischen Position. Dazu werden die etablierten Strukturenrealismen auf ihre St\"a{}rken und Schw\"a{}chen hin untersucht. Es folgt eine Ausformulierung der Forderungen an den MSR, die \"u{}ber die Darstellung bei Neuber hinaus geht. Diese Forderungen sind ontologischer, epistemischer und metrologischer Natur. Abschlie\ss{}end wird ein kurzer Ausblick zur Rolle aktueller, physikalischer Theorien -- insbesondere der Quantenmechanik -- bei der Formulierung des MSR als vollwertige, wissenschaftstheoretische Position gegeben.},

But you knew all this. So your problem must be elsewhere. Maybe you should check the encoding of your .bib-file and/or post the LaTeX Log (in the menu under "Document").

A MWE would be nice too.

[Tex/LaTex] IEEE Style Using BibDesk and texshop

I don't know how TeXshop work. But it seems that you have not compiled the document first.

To have the bibliography, you have to:

Compile the document first % this will create tag to know which entry are cited or not
Run bibtex % this will permits to match the key cited with the bibliography
Compile the document two times % This will create the bibliography, insert the tag and the second compilation enables the software to know the new pages due to the bibliography add
