General ⇒ Heading numbered in BibTeX reference

[alfredo.viera]

Hi everyone, I´m doing my master's thesis and I need to number the reference title. But by default bibtex put the title "references" whitout chapter or section number. If anyone know how to number the heading on references I really appreciate the help. I´m using apalike.bst:

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{reftesis}

Thanks,

Alfredo

Hi Alfredo,

sounds like a use case for the tocbibind package. Here a minimum working example showing its usage:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{lit.bib}
@BOOK{test,
  author = {Donald Ervin Knuth},
  title = {The TeXbook},
  year = {1984},
  publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
  address = {London},
}
\end{filecontents}
\listfiles
\documentclass[english]{report}
\usepackage{babel,blindtext}
\usepackage[%
  nottoc,
  numbib
]{tocbibind}
\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents
  \blinddocument
  \nocite*{}
  \bibliographystyle{apalike}
  \bibliography{lit}
\end{document}

Regards
Marcel
