Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Biblatex Bibliography

[huu2011]

Hello,
I would like to make Havard references using texmaker in texlive 2011.Installed to Biblatex package already.
Should I make the bib file and attach it?
How to define the author year for referencing?
thank you in advance

'Harvard' is a very loose term: it covers basically all author-year styles. In the first instance, you should try something like

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\bibliography{your-bib-file-name}
\begin{document}
\cite{some-reference}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Dear Wright,
Thanks for your reply.
I have few more questions.
1. is it necessary to pint texmaker where the biblatex (.bib)file is? for example c:texmFiles\bibdata?.
2:compiling bib in texmaker.Iam doing the following steps:
step 1: compile latex file with bibtex (.tex )
setp 2:compile the latex file with pdflatex to generate pdf files.
But if I add another reference, texmaker doesnt pick up?.

Please any idea.
NB: using texlive 2009 and texmaker 3.5
thank you

sorry for this.I have another question

how can I add keywords in my articles?
thank you again

[josephwright]

pdfLaTeX should fine the .bbl file without any issues: perhaps we could see your log file? On keywords, I'm not quite sure what you mean: do you want them to print out in your document or just store them in your .bib file?

wright,
