References OK, but no Numbers

Post by mauz81 »

Dear all,

in the first version of my Thesis, I put the references at the end of each Chapter (which were called by \include{.../...}), and I had no problems with the citations.

I'm now asked to bring all the references in one final Chapter. I've then collected all of them in a single .bib file which is called by:

Code: Select all

\include{.../results}               
\include{.../Conclusions}        
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{references}


when I compile it, the references are correctely listed in one chapter at the end of the Thesis, but in the text I always get a [?] instead of the citation number. It does not matter how many time I run bibtex, it is always like that.

I'm using TeXnicCenter.

Do you have some suggestions?

regards

Mauri

In order to get the right references in the text, compile your document in this order:
  • 1. latex
    2. bibtex
    3. latex
    4. latex
That should do the trick. If not, please say so.

Dear Frits,

this is the combination I usually do, and it worked fine when all the references where divided in each Chapter.

Now, the message I get when I compile is:

package natbib warning: Citation 'Ref1' on page 1 undefined on input line 12

for each citation. But, as I wrote, I have all the references at the right position in a final chapter, as I wish, but no numbers along the text. Instead of [1], [2],..., I get [?].
