Bibliography troubles

Post by francesco »

Hi guys,
I'm having some troubles in compiling the biblio from bibdesk.
Texshop compiles the document but it doesn't upload the bibliography which is saved in the same folder of the document. At the beginning I upload the packages I need and at the end of the text I write

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{References1.bib}

it keeps to put ‘?’ everywhere I do /cite and also it doesn’t write ‘Reference’ at the end.

Any suggestion? thanks. f

Run LaTeX, then BibTeX, then LaTeX two more times.

Provide a complete example, not any useless code snippets [1]. Check the log files (*.log, *.blg) for inconsistencies.

[1] What is a minimal working example?

Every time I compile the bibtex I get this error message:
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "paper"
(There was 1 error message)

and I have these messages for plenty of references I had in the bibdesk document. I've checked them and they seem ok as all the spaces are filled in the correct way.
Thanks

The question for a MWE was not a plea, but a demand.
