Bibliography Irregularity

Post by snif123 »

HI
I have been using an external .bib to insert referneces into my report, teh main problem is they are not listed on my output pdf the way I have listed them in the .bib file. Do I have to cite them in the tex file in a particular order? Also two of the references are missing on the list in the pdf yet they are in the .bib file. bibtex only gives me a warning about a missing note and everything seems fine,what can I do to get all the refs neat out?
Thanks!

Please give us an example of how you want the references to look. There are a bunch of built-in styles that BibTeX allows, including but not limited to alpha, unsrt, and plain.

I can't answer the other questions without an example of what you typed to produce the output you got. Please provide a minimum working example.

You can try moving the \bibitems around on the .bbl file (i.e. if your main file is article.tex, then on article.bbl) if there is one.
