natbib | Problem with References

Post by petman »

I am fairly new to latex, and I have just tried adding a bibliography to my paper. I have created myrefs.bib and added all the references in the following format

Code: Select all

@article{sanders2004mapping,
  title={Mapping small-scale temperature and abundance structures in the core of the Perseus cluster},
  author={Sanders, JS and Fabian, AC and Allen, SW and Schmidt, RW},
  journal={Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society},
  volume={349},
  number={3},
  pages={952--972},
  year={2004},
  publisher={Wiley Online Library}
}
My .tex file goes as:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}

some text with reference to \citeb{sanders2004mapping}

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{myrefs}

\end{document}

And the error goes as

Code: Select all

Package natbib Warning: Citation `sanders2004mapping' on page 12 undefined on i
nput line 144.
(./Progress_Report.bbl)
Package natbib Warning: There were undefined citations.
[12] (./Progress_Report.aux) )
and here is the aux file

Code: Select all

\relax 
\citation{sanders2004mapping}
\bibstyle{plainnat}
\bibdata{myrefs}
This is after I have compiled latex bibtex latex latex as well and all that appears is [?] where there should be the citation. Help please?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I get an error regarding the \citeb command. Are you sure that this is a valid command according to the natbib manual? After inserting e. g. \citet the code compiles flawlessly for me.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks. \citet seems to be working for me as well. That will do for me. Thank you!
