I got a very strange problem when I built my tex file to pdf.
I use 'Latex' command to compile my tex file. After this process, I check generated aux file but cannot find any \citation{XX} items.
I download a sample (a tex file and corresponding bib file) and build them, it is OK!
Then, I copy my paper's content (including configuration header shown in below) to this template and build again, it incurs the same problem - not any citation items! Crazy!
This is my tex file (I delete the irrelevant detail to keep the example short):
This is meccano.bib file:\documentclass[letterpaper,twocolumn,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{usenix,epsfig}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\tile{XXX}
\author{}
\begin{document}
\maketile
\section{XX}
... ...
\section{XX}
{\small
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{meccano}
}
\end{document}
and this is .aux file:@inproceedings{DDS-OSDI,
author = {Steven D. Gribble and Eric A. Brewer and Joseph M. Hellerstein and David Culler},
title = {Scalable, distributed data structures for internet service construction},
booktitle = {OSDI'00: Proceedings of the 4th conference on Symposium on Operating System Design \& Implementation},
year = {2000},
pages = {22--22},
location = {San Diego, California},
publisher = {USENIX Association},
address = {Berkeley, CA, USA},
}
... ...
Thanks!... ...
