Re: No bibliography appears and references appear as "?"

Post by eleanortrimble »

Hi Val,

I really love the layout of this document, thank you!

I am also having a problem with my bibliography. I use JabRef to compile my bilbiogrphy, this has worked fine for me in different documents before, and I save my file as eleanor_master_references.bib.

When I try to configure BibTex in my THESIS.tex file (this is how I named the main file) I get the warning message "Warning --I didn't find a database entry for "referenceofjournal"" I've tried this with multiple references and none of them are working. I have changed the name in the Bibliography.tex file to match my bibliography file (i.e. \bibliography{eleanor_master_references}). I have a bibliography title that appears, however there's nothing in it, and in the document like everyone else I am just getting [?].
To add, I have also saved my bibliography document (eleanor_master_references.bib) in the same file as THESIS.tex.

Can you think of why I am still having this problem? Thanks you in advance :)

Welcome,

the masters-doctoral-thesis template got a major update this fall. The old template is now officially obsolete. The updated version uses package biblatex to deal with citations. You should have a look.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hello
If the contents of the bst file is not in the main folder, put it in the main folder where the LaTeX file is.
and commands should be for example
\bibliographystyle{sn-chicago}
\bibliography{sn-bibliography}

For anyone who is using Texifier on MacOS, the compiler engine should be "XeLaTex" rather than "PdfLaTex". At least it works for me.
