[Tex/LaTex] undefined control sequence: problem with \printbibliography

biblatexerrors

I have used \cite and \footfullcitation, now both in text and in footnote, they have been cited as the bibtexkey which I have chosen in Jabref.

It looks like(in footnote):

1 bibtexkey

It should look like (or something similar) (in footnote):

1 Author.bookname.publisher.pp.10-23

It looks like (in text):

[bibtexkey]1

It should look like(in text):

[1]

Question 2: And How can I reduce the space between the information in citation? Or how can I choose which information (author and bookname only,for example) I want to keep partial citation information in footnote but full citation in bibliography?

It looks like(in footnote):

1 author. (big space) articlename. (big space) [Accessed on 24.11.2016]. (big space) Available on:www.google.com/…

It should look like:

1 Author.articlename.[Accessed on 24.11.2016].Available on:www.google.com/…

Question 3: TexMaker produces no bibliography in the end of my text, I have no idea why (these 3 questions come with my complete script.)

My shorten script is under (with the shorter script have the 2 following errors(which you might not regenerate, I have no idea why…):

! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts. <to be read again> \endgroup \set@typeset@protect l.28 \end{document} 

! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

      @book{ASH,
        author = {Seiffert, U. and Wech, L.},
        year = {2003},
        title = {Automotive Safety Handbook},
      }
    \end{filecontents*}
    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

    \begin{document}
    \blindtext \cite{ASH}

    \printbibliography

    \end{document}

The code posted produces a a bibtex error about duplicate style (not the tex error shown in the question) that can be fixed by commenting out the extra style specification:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
%\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[outdir=./]{epstopdf}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,
            style=authoryear,
            natbib=true, 
            style=numeric-comp
            ]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
  @book{ASH,
    author = {Seiffert, U. and Wech, L.},
    year = {2003},
    title = {Automotive Safety Handbook},
  }
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\blindtext \cite{ASH}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

processing this with pdflatex, bibtex, pdflatex pdflatex runs without error

Thanks to Andrew Swann for suggesting the following fix:

Added (important note: This was not necessarily directly related to my original problem, but was a part of the changes made before my setup worked without errors):

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

and changed:

\bibliography{citations.bib}

into:

\addbibresource{citations.bib}

This solved my problems.

[Tex/LaTex] Difficulties with chicago citation – NOT change author’s name

There are two distinct "Chicago" styles: one in which citations are basically put into footnotes, and one which uses the author/date style, when citations generally go in parentheses in the text. They not only produce different citation styles, but slightly different bibliographies, because it makes sense in an author/date style to print the date immediately after the author, whereas in a footnote style it doesn't. You have to decide which to use.

In either case, so long as you use biblatex, the biblatex-chicago package will take care of things for you. For the author/date style, you load it with the option authordate, and for the notes style you load it with the option notes.

The biblatex-chicago package is a stable, maintained and well-documented package. Its only peculiarity is that it is loaded not as a biblatex style, but as a complete package. I cannot speak for the consistency of bibtex chicago styles, but as your question suggests you use biblatex (a sound choice in this case) I assume that is what you are interested in.

So far as names are concerned, institutional names should always be protected by braces: so in the case where the author is "World Bank", your .bib file should have

... author = {{World Bank}}

The following is a small example of the notes style:

\documentclass[a5paper]{article}

\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}% Standard file

\begin{document}

If we are using the Notes style, loaded with
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}
\end{verbatim} then citations such as this \autocite{reese} 
are put in the notes. If a citation is expressly put in a 
footnote\footnote{As if we decided to cite a work in the 
  footnote like this: \autocite{cotton}.}
the package takes care of that for us. All we
need use is \verb|\autocite{}|. In this case, the year
comes \emph{last} in the bibliography.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

notes style

And the following is a small example of the authordate style:

\documentclass[a5paper]{article}

\usepackage[authordate]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}% Standard file

\begin{document}

If we are using the author/date style, loaded with
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[authordate]{biblatex-chicago}
\end{verbatim} then citations such as this \autocite{reese} 
are put in the text. If a citation is expressly put in a 
footnote\footnote{As if we decided to cite a work in the footnote 
  like this \autocite{cotton}.} 
the package takes care of that for us too. All we
need use is \verb|\autocite{}|. In this case, the year 
comes \emph{first} in the bibliography.

As with all author/date styles, it's often useful to 
use the \verb|\textcite| command in this case as well, 
in case we want to say that \textcite{cotton} have said 
something of interest.\footnote{And that might be true 
  in a footnote as well, if \textcite{cotton} had something 
  to tell us.}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

author/date style
