[Tex/LaTex] Unable to produce bibliographic references in Emacs+AUCTex

bibtexemacs

I am trying to include references in a document of mine but I have a problem.

First of all I use Emacs+AUCTex in Ubuntu.

I have the following .tex and .bib files:

Document File

\documentclass[11pt]{article}


\usepackage{parskip}

\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}


\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{unicode-math}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\usepackage[greek,english]{babel}

\setmainfont
[
    Ligatures=TeX,
    Extension=.otf,
    UprightFont=*,
    BoldFont=*Bold,
    ItalicFont=*It,
    BoldItalicFont=*BoldIt,
    Mapping=tex-text
]{GFSArtemisia}

\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text]{GFSArtemisia.otf}

\setmathfont{latinmodern-math.otf}

\setmathfont[range=\varnothing]{Asana-Math.otf}

\setmathfont[range=\int]{latinmodern-math.otf}

\usepackage{multicol}

\usepackage{lettrine}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\title{Information Theory Project}

\author{Name}

\date{}


\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}

\lipsum[1]

\end{abstract}

\begin{multicols}{2}

\lipsum[1-2]

Cite this book: \cite{Cover}

\end{multicols}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Bibliography}

\end{document}

Bibliography File

@BOOK{Cover,
    Author       =        "Thomas M. Cover and Joy A. Thomas",
    Title        =        "Elements of Information Theory",
    Edition      =        "2",
    Year         =        "2006",
    Publisher    =        "John Wiley and Sons",
}

My problem is that in Sharelatex it works without issues but when I compile it with Emacs it doesn't work.

I get the following warnings:

LaTeX Warning: Citation `Cover' undefined on input line 25.

No file "Project".bbl.
[1] (./Information Theory Project.aux)

LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Best Answer

As a general rule, in order to produce the bibliography you have to run the bibliography engine (bibtex in your case) after compiling the main document.

You get that warning because you didn't run bibtex. In AUCTeX, you can

  • only issue C-c C-c RET, generally AUCTeX is able to suggest the right operation to do

  • force running bibtex with: C-c C-c bibtex RET should AUCTeX fail to detect the program to run (but this is not the case)

  • press the book icon in the toolbar (Run BibTeX is its tooltip)

  • go to the menu Command > BibTeX
