Text Formatting ⇒ Missing Journal Names In Bibliography

[rosspenny83]

Hi all. New LaTeX user here with what I expect will be a simple question. I'm using Zotero and Better Bibtex to automatically update my .bib file. As far as I can see the .bib file is created properly, but when I call the bibliography the references never give the Journal title. Sample code below with a pre-apology that it is likely very messy as I'm still learning my way around LaTeX - especially the pre-amble!

Here is my code:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,draft]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\definecolor{Gray}{gray}{0.9}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[margin=1.0in]{geometry}
\author{University ID: ####}
\title{This is my title}
\date{August 2019}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

%\begin{abstract}
%The abstract will go here.
%\end{abstract}

\newpage

\section{Introduction}
This is the introduction \cite{sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005}

\section{Guidelines}
This is section 1 \cite{sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005}

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{Disp_Screens.bib}

\end{document}}

And here is the example entry in the .bib file:

@article{sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005,
langid = {english},
title = {Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems: {{Executive}} Summary of {{AAPM TG18}} Report: {{Performance}} Assessment of Medical Displays},
volume = {32},
issn = {00942405},
doi = {10.1118/1.1861159},
shorttitle = {Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems},
number = {4},
journaltitle = {Medical Physics},
date = {2005-04},
pages = {1205-1225},
author = {Samei, Ehsan and Badano, Aldo and Chakraborty, Dev and Compton, Ken and Cornelius, Craig and Corrigan, Kevin and Flynn, Michael J. and Hemminger, Bradley and Hangiandreou, Nick and Johnson, Jeffrey and Moxley-Stevens, Donna M. and Pavlicek, William and Roehrig, Hans and Rutz, Lois and Samei, Ehsan and Shepard, Jeffrey and Uzenoff, Robert A. and Wang, Jihong and Willis, Charles E.}
}

And finally the reference in the output, which is missing the journal title:

[1] Ehsan Samei, Aldo Badano, Dev Chakraborty, Ken Compton, Craig Cornelius, Kevin Corri- gan, Michael J. Flynn, Bradley Hemminger, Nick Hangiandreou, Jeffrey Johnson, Donna M. Moxley-Stevens, William Pavlicek, Hans Roehrig, Lois Rutz, Ehsan Samei, Jeffrey Shepard, Robert A. Uzenoff, Jihong Wang, and Charles E. Willis. Assessment of display performance for medical imaging systems: Executive summary of AAPM TG18 report: Performance assessment of medical displays. 32(4):1205–1225.

Your example is not working:
\@author ->University ID: ##
##
l.32 \maketitle

./test.tex:32: You can't use `macro parameter character #' in restricted horizontal mode.
\@author ->University ID: ####

After fixing this, the bibtex run gives a warning message:
Warning--empty journal in sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005
Warning--empty year in sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005
and indeed, you've used journaltitle instead of journal, but unsrt only supports journal in @article. After fixing these two issues

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005,
langid = {english},
title = {Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems: {{Executive}} Summary of {{AAPM TG18}} Report: {{Performance}} Assessment of Medical Displays},
volume = {32},
issn = {00942405},
doi = {10.1118/1.1861159},
shorttitle = {Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems},
number = {4},
journal = {Medical Physics},
date = {2005-04},
year = {2005},
pages = {1205-1225},
author = {Samei, Ehsan and Badano, Aldo and Chakraborty, Dev and Compton, Ken and Cornelius, Craig and Corrigan, Kevin and Flynn, Michael J. and Hemminger, Bradley and Hangiandreou, Nick and Johnson, Jeffrey and Moxley-Stevens, Donna M. and Pavlicek, William and Roehrig, Hans and Rutz, Lois and Samei, Ehsan and Shepard, Jeffrey and Uzenoff, Robert A. and Wang, Jihong and Willis, Charles E.}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,titlepage,draft]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\definecolor{Gray}{gray}{0.9}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[margin=1.0in]{geometry}
\author{University ID: \#\#\#\#}% FIXED
\title{This is my title}
\date{August 2019}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

%\newpage% replaced by option titlepage (please see an introduction into LaTeX)

\section{Introduction}
This is the introduction \cite{sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005}

\section{Guidelines}
This is section 1 \cite{sameiAssessmentDisplayPerformance2005}

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{\jobname}% extension should be omitted!

\end{document}

should be fine.

Thanks very much - so really the error is in the way Zotero is exporting the data to the bib file in combination with my bibliography style?
