problem with a bib entry

Post by mahmood »

Hi,
I have a bib entry like this:

Code: Select all

@Article{baniasadi02,
   author =   "Amirali Baniasadi and Andreas Moshovos",
   title =   "Branch predictor prediction: A power-aware branch predictor for high-performance processors",
   journal =   "Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Design",
   pages =   "458-461",
   year =   "2002",
}
however, in the pdf file I see this:

Code: Select all

[19] ——, “Branch predictor prediction: A power-aware branch predictor
for high-performance processors,” Proceedings of the International
Conference on Computer Design, pp. 458–461, 2002.
thanks for any feedback.

The problem description is inappropriate. Is it only about the missing authors? However, you will have to provide a full but minimal example that clearly shows your setup for your bibliography. Emphasize is on minimal.

maybe this example clears the problem. Please see the two entries I used:

Code: Select all

@Article{baniasadi02,
   author =   "Amirali Baniasadi and Andreas Moshovos",
   title =   "Branch predictor prediction: A power-aware branch predictor for high-performance processors",
   journal =   "Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Design",
   pages =   "458-461",
   year =   "2002",
}

@Article{baniasadi04,
   author =   "Amirali Baniasadi and Andreas Moshovos",
   title =   "SEPAS: a highly accurate energy-efficient branch predictor",
   journal =   "Proceedings of the international symposium on Low power electronics and design ",
   pages =   "38-43",
   year =   "2004",
}
Then I cite in the tex file like this: \cite{baniasadi02} and \cite{baniasadi04}. However in the PDF file I see:

Code: Select all

[18] A. Baniasadi and A. Moshovos, “Sepas: a highly accurate energyefficient
branch predictor,” Proceedings of the international symposium
on Low power electronics and design, pp. 38–43, 2004.
[19] ——, “Branch predictor prediction: A power-aware branch predictor
for high-performance processors,” Proceedings of the International
Conference on Computer Design, pp. 458–461, 2002.
However if I insert a space in the author name like this:

Code: Select all

@Article{baniasadi02,
   author =   "A mirali Baniasadi and Andreas Moshovos",
   title =   "Branch predictor prediction: A power-aware branch predictor for high-performance processors",
   journal =   "Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Design",
   pages =   "458-461",
   year =   "2002",
}
I get this pdf:

Code: Select all

[19] A. mirali Baniasadi and A. Moshovos, “Branch predictor prediction:
A power-aware branch predictor for high-performance processors,”
Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Design, pp.
458–461, 2002.
Any more information should I gave? The two entries are similar however I don't know why it doesn't recognize the authors

But you forgot to mention (as localghost suggested) crutial information: the document class that you are using, the bibliography style selected, and the use of any other package(s) affecting your bibliography.

I use

Code: Select all

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
which can be found at IEEE website http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/ ... lates.html. I used the unix version. If you need more information let me know because I am not expert in latex.

You don't need to be an expert to follow the links in my last reply and act accordingly.

The document How to Use the IEEEtran BIBTEX Style explains how to proceed to disable this feature: add the following lines to your bibliographical database (bare_conf.bib in your example):

Code: Select all

@IEEEtranBSTCTL{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol,
  CTLdash_repeated_names    = "no"
}
In your .tex file (bare_conf.tex in your example) add the following line somewhere between \begin{document} and \end{document}:

Code: Select all

\bstctlcite{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol}

Sorry but it didn't work. I attached my files again. Do you see the change in your system?

Simple move the line

Code: Select all

\bstctlcite{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol}
somewhere before the \bibliographystyle line. (Don't forget to compile using (pdf)latex+bibtex+(pdf)latex+(pdf)latex).
