Latex and bibDesk

Post by haac »

Hi!
I'm trying to make my blibliography with bibDesk but i don't know how to do it. I already generate a .bib file an place it in the same folder of mi latex code. How do i use the .bib file?

In mi text i have something like this:

...casos de pruebas, entre otros, que pueden ser reutilizados cuando se desee construir un nuevo sistema. \cite{northrop2002sei}
but when i generate de document i get this...

...casos de pruebas, entre otros, que pueden ser reutilizados cuando se desee construir un nuevo
sistema. ?
at the end of the document i have

Code: Select all

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% BIBLIOGRAPHY
\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\bibliography{tesisbibliografia}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\end{document}
Thanks for the help

You need to run bibtex on your file so latex knows what your \cite is pointing to. After running bibtex, run latex again two times so it gets all of the numbers correct.

latex file.tex
bibtex file (no .bib extension)
latex file.tex
latex file.tex
